Broiled Bluefish With Tomato And Herbs Food

BROILED BLUEFISH WITH TOMATO AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Line rack of a broiler pan with foil.
• Put fish skin sides down on foil and sprinkle with pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, and chives in a small bowl. Spread evenly over fish, then cover with tomato slices, overlapping slightly, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Broil fish 3 to 4 inches from heat until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.

BLUEFISH WITH FENNEL AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Discard the feathery green tops of the fennel, core and cut the bulb into 1inch pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 9inch skillet. Add the fennel, garlic, orange rind, fennel seeds, liquor, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer, over medium heat for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes add the tomatoes, recover and simmer for 10 minutes longer. Remove the cover and check the liquid in the pan. If there is a good deal remaining, evaporate it until the mixture look syrupy. Remove the orange rind. Turn the heat off and stir in the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper; cool to room temperature.
• Season the bluefish fillets with salt and pepper, and set them, skin side down in a generously buttered baking/serving dish large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer. Spoon the cooled vegetable mixture over the fish, cover with foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
• To bake and serve, remove the fish from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake 20 to 25 minutes covered with foil until the center no longer looks translucent but opaque. Remove from oven and serve; garnish with yellow bell pepper and chives.

BROILED BLUEFISH WITH TOMATO, OLIVE, AND CAPER COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make the compote. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and celery, season with pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, and capers and cook, stirring, until hot, about 2 minutes more.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Set aside covered with foil to keep warm.
• Place a rack 5 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
• Prepare the fish. Using a sharp knife, slash the bluefish skin to form cross-hatch marks. Transfer the fillets to a foil-lined baking sheet and brush all over with the oil. Season with salt and generously with pepper. Broil the fish skin-side down, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. (If the skin comes loose during cooking, you may remove and discard it.)
• Using a metal spatula, transfer the fillets to 4 warmed plates and top with the compote. Serve immediately.

GARLIC AND HERB BROILED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to medium high.
• Cut plum tomatoes in half lengthwise. Squeeze or scoop out most of the pulp and seeds. Place the tomatoes flesh side up in a heat safe dish and season them with salt and pepper.
• In a bowl combine the bread crumbs, cheese, thyme, garlic and olive oil. Season mixture with pepper
• and sprinkle over the tomatoes.
• Place tomatoes under the broiler for 5 minutes or until golden brown.

HERBY BROILED SWORDFISH WITH ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F, with a rack 6 inches from heating element. Stir together herbs, 1/4 cup oil, and lemon zest and juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Toss tomatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange tomatoes in a shallow nonreactive baking dish and roast, stirring once halfway through and breaking up some with back of spoon, until burst and beginning to collapse, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in garlic and red-pepper flakes; roast 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and cover; switch oven to broil.
• Meanwhile, season swordfish with salt and pepper and rub half of herb oil over both sides. Let stand 15 minutes. Arrange fish on a broiler-safe pan and broil, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and browned in places, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to dish with tomatoes, slice, and serve, drizzled with remaining herb oil.
