Haddock Piccata 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.

EASY FISH PICCATA

Steps:

• Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Mix the oregano, paprika, and garlic powder and season the flesh side of the fish.
• To dredge, coat the fish on both sides with the flour. Gently shake excess flour.
• In a large cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Carefully add the fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side (a total of 4 to 6 minutes), or until the fish is firm and flaky (being careful not to overcook the fish). Transfer the fish to a tray lined with paper towel to drain excess oil.
• To the same pan, add 1 more tablespoon of unsalted. Lower the heat, and add the lemon juice, white wine, and capers. Cook briefly over medium heat.
• Return the fish to the pan and spoon the sauce over the fish (give it just a few seconds to warm through in the sauce).
• Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes, if using. Serve immediately!

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, ELLIDA STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a baking dish with nonstick spray. Arrange the fish fillets in the prepared baking dish to cover the bottom. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs with melted butter, crabmeat, and artichokes. Slice the tomato thinly and arrange the slices over the fish. Spread the cheese over the tomatoes. Top with the buttered crumb mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fish is white and flaky.
