Sautéed Fish Fillets With Poblano Chile Sauce Food

CRISPY GOLDEN SAUTEED FISH

Steps:

• Prepare the fish by rinsing and patting dry, without squeezing the delicate fish flesh. Salt and pepper both sides of the fish. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a medium saute pan.
• Cook's Note: Do not use a nonstick pan.
• The oil should be glossy, but not smoking. While the oil is heating, take a fresh paper towel and pat the fish dry a second time, and dredge the fish in flour on both sides, patting off the excess. This will make your beautiful crust-searing foolproof! Place the fish in the pan and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes. Flip the fish, being firm with the spatula in order to scrape up the whole golden-seared crust when you flip. Once flipped, place 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of each piece of fish, and allow it to melt into the saucepan. It may brown somewhat, but it should not burn. Allow the mixture to cook another 2 minutes and then remove the fish. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice (be careful with splatters!), and quickly scrape up the brown bits of flavor. Toss in the parsley, taste for seasoning, and spoon a teaspoon of the rich lemony butter onto the fish and serve.

SNAPPER IN A POBLANO CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the fish filets under a thin stream of cold water, drain and pat dry. Place in a container and drizzle with the lime juice, garlic, S & P. Let the fish marinate 15 minutes up to 2 hours in the fridge.
• Slice the poblanos in half, removing the stem, seeds, and veins. Roughly chop and place in blender along with the milk and blend until smooth.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the flour to make a roux. It should be nice and foamy. Cook until golden, 2-3 minutes. Add the chile puree, Mexican crema and nutmeg and cook on low heat until it thickens, about 10 - 12 minutes. Season with S & P.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Butter the bottom of a baking dish and place the marinated fish in the dish - discard marinade. Cover generously with the poblano sauce. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top.
• Bake just until the fish is cooked through and it flakes with a fork, 15-20 minutes, depending upon the thickness of the filets.

SAUTéED FISH FILLETS WITH POBLANO CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the chiles. Then, cut out and discard the stem end of the chiles. Cut open the chiles and remove the seeds and veins. Rinse the chiles, blot with paper towels and cut them into strips. Chop them and put them in a blender. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet, and cook the onion, garlic, and oregano until the onion begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. 2. Scrape the skillet contents into the blender. Add the cilantro, serrano chile, broth, cream, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Blend until smooth, creamy, and green in color. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to blend the flavors. Reserve off heat. 3. In the same nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2-teaspoon of salt on the fish, and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until it is lightly browned on the outside, opaque but still moist inside, and just barely flakes when tested with a fork. Reheat the reserved sauce. Serve the fish at once with the sauce spooned on top.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
