FISH ALMONDINE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the panko and almonds. Drizzle in the melted butter and toss until well combined.
• Add the parsley and toss it in . . .
• Then stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Put the flour in a shallow dish and add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Dredge both sides of the fish in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Spread a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise over each piece of fish . . .
• And sprinkle the crumb mixture on top, pressing lightly to make sure it sticks.
• Bake until the crumbs are golden and the fish is flaky, 16 to 18 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice on top and serve.

PARMESAN FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a sheet pan with the olive oil.
• Cut the fish fillets into 2 1/2-inch-long and 1-inch-wide strips.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley and butter with a fork in a separate shallow bowl. Add the Parmesan and stir to combine.
• Beat the eggs in a third bowl.
• Bread the fish by giving the strips a good coating of the seasoned flour. Tap off any excess. Dip in the beaten eggs until coated. Roll the egg-coated fish in the crumb mixture. If need be, press the breadcrumbs into the fish. Place on the oiled sheet pan.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the fish sticks and continue cooking until the breading is deep golden and the fish is cooked through, about another 8 minutes.
• Serve with ketchup.

OVEN-ROASTED COD CRUSTED WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Pile parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and a little coarse salt on the cutting board. Finely chop the lemon-garlic mixture, then combine with plain bread crumbs.
• Brush the top of each fillet with olive oil and dip in to the bread crumb herb mixture. Brush a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of a baking pan then place fillet in the pan, crust side up. Roast fillets in oven until firm to the touch, about 12 to 15 minutes.

BEER BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• For the fish: Combine 1/2 cup of cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper in a shallow dish. Combine the flour, baking powder, paprika, remaining 1 cup of cornstarch, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl. Gently stir in the cold beer until just combined. Cover and refrigerate the batter until ready to use.
• For the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of oil to 375°. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into 10 to 12 3-inch pieces. Dredge the fish in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess. Working in 3 to 4 batches, coat the fish in the chilled batter. Carefully transfer the battered fish in hot oil and cook until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the fish to a wire rack and sprinkle with salt.
• Serve the fish with the tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and malt vinegar.

CRISPY CERVEZA BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• For the crispy battered fish: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Fit a wire rack in a baking sheet; set aside.
• In a large pot, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F.
• Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, cayenne, paprika, baking powder and pepper. Add the beer and whisk until smooth.
• Working in 2 to 3 batches, coat the fish in the batter. Carefully transfer the battered fish to the hot oil. Fry each batch for 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the fried fish to the wire rack on the baking sheet to allow the oil to drain away. This will ensure it stays crispy. Transfer the baking sheet with the fish to the oven to keep warm while you get everything else ready. The fish can sit in the oven up to an hour staying warm.
• For serving: Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven to warm for 10 minutes.
• Unwrap the tortillas and serve alongside the fish and all the fixings: cabbage, red onion, cilantro, lime wedges and Charred Lime Crema.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Toss the jalapenos and onion rounds in the olive oil in a bowl. Grill the jalapenos and onion rounds until charred all over, turning as needed, about 5 minutes total. Place the jalapenos in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Set the onions aside.
• Cut the jalapenos in half, remove the stems and seeds and gently scrape off the charred skin. Roughly chop the grilled onion rounds.
• Combine the jalapenos, onion, cilantro and some salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse in 2-second increments until finely minced.
• Whisk together the crema and lime zest and juice in a medium bowl. Add the jalapeno-onion mixture to the bowl with the crema and fold everything together until fully incorporated.
• Pour into a serving dish and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve as a flavorful topping on your favorite tacos.

COD FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200*F. Heat 1 TBS olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Cut fish into large chunks; pulse in a food processor to coarsely chop. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add onion, tarragon, egg and Tabasco, combining well. Add remaining salt and pepper. Form 8 3-inch patties; dredge them in bread crumbs, shaking off excess.
• Heat 1 TBS oil in a large skillet, over medium low heat. Cook 4 patties until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a baking sheet, cover with aluminium foil, and keep warm in oven while you cook the other 4. Wipe out skillet, return to heat and add remaining oil. Cook remaining patties and serve immediately with tartar sauce.
