Delaney Tavern’s Chilean Sea Bass

2 ounces heavy cream
1.5 ounces mixed wild mushrooms
1 ounce roasted pearl onions
1 head baby bok choy cut into quarters and rinsed
7-ounce piece of Chilean sea bass
1.5 ounces olive oil
1 ounce Chinese cut green onion or micro greens (optional, for garnish)
Salt and pepper

3 ounces Shoyu sauce (see recipe below)
Wasabi mash (see recipe below)

Heat an oven-proof skillet on high and add olive oil. Salt the top of the sea bass and place top-side down in the hot skillet. Let sear, untouched, for three to four minutes until fish is golden brown and has brown edges. Transfer to a 350 degree oven while preparing vegetables. (About 4 minutes in the oven.)

Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and pearl onions, saute for about three minutes. Add the bok choy and saute another minute. Deglaze the pan with 3 ounces of shoyu sauce. Add the heavy cream and cook to a brown, caramel-like color and consistency.

Place a portion of the wasabi mash on a plate. Drape the sea bass over the mash and spoon the vegetables and sauce over the fish.
