Baked Fish With Pine Nuts Food

LEMON GARLIC FISH AND TOASTED PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Place pine nuts in a nonstick (or lightly greased) skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until golden brown and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a small bowl
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet. Sprinkle fish fillets with salt and pepper and then add to skillet, cooking until lightly browned on each side. About 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on size. Fish should reach 145°F
• After all fish has cooked, melt remaining butter in the skillet, add garlic, and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant, stirring. Add broth and lemon juice and simmer, craping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and stir in pine nuts and parsley. Spoon the mixture over fish and enjoy!

BAKED WHITE FISH WITH PINE NUT, PARMESAN, AND PESTO CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400F/200C. Spray individual casserole dishes with non-stick spray or olive oil (use one large casserole dish if you don't have individual ones.)
• Remove the fish fillets from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature while the oven reheats. (Having the fish at room temperature is very important or it won't cook before the crust topping gets too brown.)
• Use a large chef's knife to finely chop the pine nuts and mince the garlic. Mix together chopped pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, basil pesto, and mayo.
• Use a rubber scraper to spread the crust mixture evenly over the surface of each fish fillet. Pile it on so all the crust mixture is used.
• Bake fish 10-15 minutes, until fish is firm to the touch and crust mixture is starting to lightly brown. (I baked the fish pieces in the photo for 13 minutes.) Serve hot.

FISH IN PINE NUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and golden, about 8 minutes. Pour onto a plate to cool. Transfer 1/4 cup of the toasted nuts to a nut grinder or small food processor and grind or pulse until finely ground.
• In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the paprika, garlic, ground pine nuts, bread crumbs, and saffron, if using, and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm over low heat.
• In a large frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, add to the pan, and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes on each side. Pour the sauce over the fish, add the peas, if using, and simmer until the fish is opaque throughout, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving dish or individual dishes, and garnish with the remaining pine nuts and the parsley. Serve at once.
• Variation
• You can skip the step of browning the fish, and instead poach it in the sauce. Or, you can combine the fish and the sauce in a baking dish, making sure the fish is fully covered by the sauce, and bake in a preheated in a 450°F oven until fish is tender, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pieces. If baking, do not reduce the sauce too much, as some of the liquid will evaporate in the oven.
