Haddock With Citrus Salsa Food

PISTACHIO-CRUSTED COD WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a small knife, remove the peel, pith and outer membrane of the grapefruit, tangerine and orange. Working over a bowl, slice each into segments; remove the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a food processor, pulse the pistachios and garlic salt until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Transfer to a shallow dish.
• Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush to coat the top side of each piece of fish with the Dijon mustard. Gently press the mustard-coated side of the fillets into the pistachio mixture. Transfer them pistachio crusted-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the citrus salsa. Drizzle with olive oil and season with more salt and pepper before serving.

HADDOCK AND SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Place chopped onion, carrot and parsley in a pan with 1 litre of water, the wine, peppercorns, bay leaf and a sprinkling of salt.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa verde.
• Start by rinsing the capers and patting them dry.
• Throw the capers in a food processor, along with the chilli, shallot, basil, gherkins, dill and a bit of zest from your lemon or lime.
• Chop the parsley leaves until you have about 4 tablespoons and add them too, along with a bit of salt and pepper.
• Blitz until everything is chopped and mixed.
• Keep the motor running and slowly add the olive oil to make a pesto-type, thick, green sauce.
• You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Ten minutes before you want to eat, strain the fresh bouillon into a large, deep frying pan.
• Bring it to a boil, place the fish in the pan and poach until just cooked through (as little as three minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish).
• Carefully lift the fish onto warmed plates, spoon the sauce over the top and serve.

HADDOCK WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• For salsa, in a bowl, combine the oranges, onion, lime juice, cilantro, pepper flakes, garlic, orange peel, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cover and chill. Combine coriander, cumin and remaining salt and pepper; rub over both sides of fillets. Grill, covered, over medium-hot heat or broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with citrus salsa.
