Baked Haddock Piccata With Zucchini Noodles Food

BAKED HADDOCK PICCATA WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F with the rack placed in the middle.
• To prep the haddock for baking, remove them from the packs and place them in a shallow 9X13 baking dish. Top each haddock filet with two very thin slices of lemon, and bake for 20 minutes. Then squeeze a wedge of lemon over each filet and continue to cook for 10 more minutes. The internal cook temp should be a minimum of 145 degrees.
• While the fish is baking, make zoodles AKA zucchini noodles. (I use my a spiralizer on the largest blade setting, because I like my noodles al dente after they've been cooked, but choose any blade size you like best.)
• Once the zoodles are prepped, make the piccata sauce: Add one tablespoon olive oil to a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add two tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt.
• Next, stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, salt and pepper, 1/3 cup white wine and 1/3 cup chicken stock and turn the heat up to medium high and simmer for 5-6 minutes.
• Then remove from the heat and stir in the capers. The sauce should reduce by half.
• Add two tablespoons of olive oil to a large saute pan over medium-high heat, and cook the zoodles for 2-3 minutes. Be sure to fold and toss so that all the veggie noodles are cooked evenly. Next, add lemon butter caper sauce, fresh chopped parsley, and fold it all together.
• To serve, plate zoodles then top with haddock. Garnish with more chopped parsley, capers, and serve with lemon wedges. Salt and pepper to taste.

BAKED ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH CREAMY RICOTTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook and stir until browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour in marinara sauce and diced tomatoes; let simmer until thick, about 10 minutes.
• Squeeze zucchini noodles to get most of the water out. Add to the skillet and stir to combine. Add ricotta cheese in 1-tablespoon dollops around the skillet. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to set up. Sprinkle with basil and red pepper flakes before serving.

FISH PICCATA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, blot the fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess. Saute the fish in the oil until just cooked through, about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the fish to a platter. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, whisking for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and capers and stir. Add the butter and stir or whisk to incorporate to bring the sauce together. Pour onto the fish and garnish with the chopped parsley.

BAKED HADDOCK & POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes in thick slices (3mm approx.) and sprinkle with half the olive oil and salt.
• Cover a baking dish with the potatoes arranged in 2 layers.
• Add 1/4 glass of water and bake at 180°C while the rest of the recipe is being prepared (about 20 minutes).
• Put the rest of the olive oil into a frying-pan.
• Add the garlic and the red hot pepper (just a couple of slices per fillet will do, the recipe does not have to be too hot).
• Prepare a mixture with the rest of the water, the vinegar, salt and white pepper.
• When the garlic gets golden, add the mixture, and let cook for another 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the fillets with salt and olive oil.
• Put the haddock fillets on top of the potatoes and pour the mixture with the garlic over them.
• Bake for another 15 minutes or until done (the colour changes to white).
