Instructions: Fillet of Bass recipe

Ask the fishmonger to fillet the fish. Keep the edges to make a fish stock, depending on the recipe here.
Peel and slice the ginger into small cubes.
In a skillet, heat a little oil. Sweat all the pieces of ginger. Deglaze with white wine and reduce by half. Add the fish stock. Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Strain the juice and discard the ginger. In the juice, add cream, bring to a boil and reduce until you can coat a spoon. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the chopped coriander and ginger pieces.

Sort and stem the spinach. Bake in a large boiling water bath for several minutes. Drain thoroughly. In a skillet, heat a knob of butter. Sauté the spinach a few minutes and season.
Wash and sort the mushrooms. Cook for 40 seconds in boiling salted water. Drain. Saute a few minutes in a pan with a knob of butter. Season with salt and pepper.
In a skillet, heat a little oil and a knob of butter. When the butter foams, cook the seabass fillets skin side at medium-high heat until done (8 minutes). Cover if necessary.

These are:
The candied ginger is sold in supermarkets (Seeburger, radius crackers).

Tips:
Prepare the sauce in advance and reheat in a double boiler.

Wine suggestion:
White wine with good acidity to return the power of ginger (Champagne) or a fine and elegant white Burgundy (Chablis, Meursault, Macon).
