I made this. I agree it takes more to make than the time indicated. I was disappointed because with all of the cutting of scallions, grating of fresh ginger etc., the flavors really did not penetrate the sea bass....If you make it, try for a thin fillet, perhaps then it'll taste like something.....
I make this whenever we can find a nice piece of sea bass. Definitely takes much longer to cook through than the recommended 7 minutes. 15 minutes is closer to actual experience. Delicious, though, and I happily cook this again and again.
Delicious but had to cook 14-15 min before it was cooked through
This was easy and surprisingly delicious. It's so difficult to get striped bass, but there was some this week and last week at the Farmer's Market. Made it last week this way, and will make it again today.
