How to Make Spicy Striped Bass

  1. **Prepare the Spicy Sauce:** In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 minced cloves garlic, 4 chopped scallions (white and green parts separated), 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1-2 finely minced habanero chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
  2. **Simmer the Sauce:** Stir in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  3. **Prepare the Striped Bass:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. **Grill the Bass:** Place the striped bass filets (about 6 ounces each) on the preheated grill. Grill for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your filets and the heat of your grill.
  5. **Combine and Garnish:** Pour the spicy sauce generously over the grilled bass filets.
  6. **Serve:** Garnish with the reserved chopped green scallions and serve immediately with your favorite sides like rice or a fresh salad.
