Fish Steaks In Green Sauce Food

PAN FRIED HALIBUT STEAK WITH LIGHT GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the halibut steaks and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper, then dust with flour.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the halibut steaks in the butter for 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely browned. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
• Reduce the heat to medium, and stir the wine into the pan, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Mix in the lemon juice, then stir in the cream. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Season with parsley, basil and capers, and stir for another minute. Serve halibut with sauce spooned over it. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

HAKE IN GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash steaks and pat dry, then squeeze the lemon juice over them.
• In an earthenware casserole heat two or three tablespoons of olive oil. Brown the cloves of garlic in the oil, then remove them and keep them ready in a mortar.
• Fry the potato slices for two to three minutes, then remove the casserole from the heat while you add the flour with about half a cup of water and the bay leaf. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the potato is soft. At this point, season the steaks with salt and put them in, too, followed by the garlic and parsley which you have pounded together in the mortar with a few drops of water.
• Resume cooking, shaking the casserole over the heat occasionally. The dish will be ready in 20 to 30 minutes and is served in the casserole. The sauce will be light green and may be garnished with a sprinkling of fresh parsley at the last minute.

TOMATO-GREEN PEPPER SAUCE WITH FISH STEAKS

Steps:

• In a large skillet soften the onion and the garlic in the olive oil. Add the peppers and cook for five minutes.
• Meanwhile, drop the tomatoes into boiling water, drain them and remove their skins. Chop, seed and add them to the pepper and onions. Add salt, pepper, marjoram and Cayenne and simmer gently for 25 minutes, or until the sauce is fairly thick. Serve on the side with fish steaks.

CODFISH STEAK IN GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine minced parsley, garlic and salt in a mortar or a blender and process until finely ground. The mixture will be damp, green and salty. Reserve.
• Heat two tablesoons oil in a heavy-bottomed casserole. Add codfish steaks and quickly sear for 10 to 15 seconds on each side. Remove fish and lower heat. Add remaining oil and saute onions until soft but not brown. Stir in flour and cook for a minute or two.
• Stir in stock and heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is quite smooth and thick. Stir in wine. Stir in parsley and garlic mixture, then return fish steaks to casserole, basting them with the sauce. Cover and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

PESCADO EN SALSA VERDE (FISH FILLETS IN GREEN SAUCE)

Steps:

• Blot the fillets dry--really dry--to avoid a watery sauce.
• In a blender, combine olive oil, wine, vinegar, parsley, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and blend on high until smooth.
• In a large skillet, arrange the fish snugly in a single layer and pour the sauce over the fish.
• If the fish won't fit in one layer, arrange the fish in two layers, pouring half the sauce over the first layer and the rest over the top.
• Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat.
• Immediately reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan and gently simmer the fish for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes when pierced with a fork.
• Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets; if they are thin, they will be done in less time.

SAUTEED COD STEAKS AND TOMATOES WITH GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small food processor blend watercress, arugula, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until leaves are chopped fine and sauce is smooth, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons water if necessary to thin sauce to consistency of thin mayonnaise. Transfer sauce to a small bowl.
• Season cod with salt and pepper. In a heavy non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté fish 3 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Turn fish over and sauté 2 minutes more. Move fish to one side of skillet and to other side add tomatoes, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté tomatoes and fish 1 minute, or until tomatoes are just wilted and fish is just cooked through and barely flakes with a fork.
• Transfer fish with a spatula to each of 2 plates and spoon tomato mixture on top. Pour some green sauce over fish and serve remaining on the side.

PAN-ROASTED SWORDFISH STEAKS WITH MIXED-PEPPERCORN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mash butter, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground mixed peppercorns, and lemon peel in small bowl. Season to taste with salt.
• Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle swordfish with salt and ground mixed peppercorns. Add swordfish to skillet. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn swordfish over and transfer to oven. Roast until just cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer swordfish to plates. Add seasoned butter to same skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits, until melted and bubbling. Pour butter sauce over swordfish and serve.

SEARED TUNA STEAKS WITH WASABI-GREEN ONION MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Whisk first 3 ingredients in small bowl to blend, adding more wasabi paste if desired. Cover and refrigerate.
• Whisk teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in small bowl to blend. Place tuna steaks in resealable plastic bag. Add teriyaki mixture; seal bag. Turn bag to coat. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally.

HAKE IN GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Make fish stock:
• Put fish bones or flap and tail in a 2-quart saucepan (set aside steaks or fillets) and add water, onion, parsley sprigs, and one third of garlic, then gently simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh or cheesecloth-lined sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids and then discarding them (you will have about 1 cup stock).
• Cook fish:
• Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat oil and remaining garlic in cazuela over low heat until garlic begins to sizzle. Add half of minced parsley and all of fish, skin sides up if fillets, then start gently swirling pot, holding onto both handles (it helps to plant your feet apart from each other) so fish moves slowly around edge of bottom of pot and oil laps over it. Cook fish, swirling pot, until bottom 1/2 inch of fish turns white, about 5 minutes. Carefully turn fish over and continue cooking, swirling pot and adding 1 or 2 tablespoons of stock every minute or two, until sauce is emulsified and fish is almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. (You will use about 1/2 cup stock.) Add peas and remaining minced parsley and cook, swirling pot, until peas are warm and fish is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
