Rachael Rays Pan Roasted Fish With Burst Tomato Sauce Food

BAKED FISH DUGLER-INI AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• To a small skillet preheated over medium heat, add extra-virgin olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook onions 5 minutes, until translucent. Add wine to the pan and reduce for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and break up the sliced stewed tomatoes with a wooden spoon as they heat through. When the sauce comes to a boil (2 or 3 minutes) remove it from the heat and stir in the parsley. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Pour a few spoonfuls of sauce into the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Add fish to the dish in a single layer. Add remaining sauce and bake 15 to 17 minutes until fish is firm and opaque.
• Remove fish to serving plate or dinner plates. Spoon a few bits of tomato and sauce over the fish. To the remaining sauce in the baking dish add 2 tablespoons butter cut into small pieces. Add hot pasta to butter and sauce and turn pasta in dish to coat evenly and to allow pasta to absorb juices. Pile pasta alongside fish and serve. If you are entertaining, try bundling portions of pasta around a large, 2-pronged meat fork, by twisting the fork in the pasta allowing it to curl up the fork. Shimmy the twisted pasta off the fork on to a plate you will create pasta "nests." This simple "twist" adds a lot to the plate presentation.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425°F.
• Spread tomatoes onto a cookie sheet and combine with garlic, shallot, 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. The tomatoes will burst after 10 minutes. Continue cooking another 10-12 minutes to concentrate flavor.
• About 10 minutes before you are ready to eat, season fish with salt and pepper and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. If your fish has skin attached to one side, place skin-side down first. Cook 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to the oven for 5 minutes.
• Remove tomatoes from oven. Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher on the cookie sheet. Top fish with roasted tomato sauce.

• Pour warm pesto broth onto each dinner plate.
• Remove the fish from the oven. The bottom should be crisp and brown. Turn the fish over to place the crispy side up in pools of parsley-mint broth. Arrange the herb potato slices and tomatoes decoratively around the fish. Top the dish off with a scattering of garlic crisps and serve. (You could get $40 a head for this plate! Nice!)
