Simple and elegant — a lovely recipe!
im going to try it as soon as i find where i can buy mirin..having problem finding it at the supermarket..
Melting Wok is one of my favourite blogs and yes, that woman can cook! as can you! :) Fish looks great. I’ll be back to read her verdict :)
Did you have to cut the skin a little before you pan sear the sea bass? I think when I pan sear cod fish, the skin shrinks and my fish doesn’t look as nice as yours :(
What a lovely coincidence! I have a seabass in the fridge waiting to be cooked and devoured! I am going to bookmark this recipe of yours. What other wine can I used to replace sake? If it’s a must here, I guess I can go and buy one…
Looks like a block of cod! How does it taste like?
The velvet smooth texture of the sea bass melted like butter right under my tongue :)The good thing is that both the sake and mirin seasoning did not overpower the natural sweetness of the fish. It mingled harmoniously with the ponzu sauce, which also added a mild citrusy flavor that blended wonderfully with the minced ginger. Thanks B, I give this sea bass dish a 5 star rating :)
P/S: Heck.. even the mini apricots were delicious :)
A family friend made a dish very simliar to this, and I agree, it was really sublime. I think she cooked it under the broiler. This recipe is definitely getting bookmarked. Thanks! :)
Your baked sea bass looks divine, RM! I’m sure Melting Wok was impressed. :)
omg, fish! furthermore a seabass! awwww….. fantastic!
I like using the broiler in my toaster oven. Fries and bakes all at once! =)
Your photos are amazing! How do you get the light to be so bright?
Do you use flash or do you have a lamp (white light) in the kitchen?
Simple yet tasty. Sounds like a great recipe for me…diet thing! It was a nice touch adding the apricots to the photo as welL!
Both of u stay ‘kin-kin’? Both good cooks. ‘Jeles-nya’.
NOW I know what to do with the ponzu in my cupboard that a friend brought back from Japan … it looks like a very posh brand too… more Japanese-inspired recipes, please!
havent been back here for a long time and u still make me drooooool..
Did you get the sea bass from Ranch 99 or Santa Monica Seafood( f you have not discover this great seafood store in OC, there’s one in Newport beach).
Btw, the Mani chai never germinated and the Okra cease to grow :( but a pack of Cow-horn okra seeds is on it’s way to So.Cal
I finally SAW this dish after I HEARD about it..heh heh ;P And I think all the oooh-aaahing are justified. They look so perfect! And the sauce…ooh la la….I know not enough fillets to go around but, can I just have some sauce on my steamed rice? Pleeeasee….
oohh jeles jeles! lol! when r we gonna have our bbq session? gotta utilise the new furniture tht u bot.

Joe – good luck finding mirin.
Cynthia – thanks.
Simcooks – I didn’t cut the skin but I did notice that the skin was shrinking when I pan-seared the fish. So I transfer them to the oven immediately…a couple of pictures actually showed the shrunken skin. Hehe.
Novice Baker – this is a Japanese recipe so I chose sake. If you have Chinese rice wine, it would work.
