Provided by Tommy Banks

Categories     Dinner, Fish Course, Main course, Supper

Time 2h5m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1½ kg Rooster or Maris Piper potatoes, unpeeled
200ml double cream
50ml milk
50g grated cheddar
50g grated parmesan
100g butter
3 leeks, thinly sliced
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1½ tbsp wholegrain mustard
100ml dry white wine or dry vermouth
200ml double cream
½ small bunch chives, chopped
½ lemon, zested and juiced
125g skinless smoked haddock, cut into large chunks
125g skinless salmon, cut into large chunks
125g raw king prawns

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prick each potato a few times with a knife (to prevent them from bursting) and bake on a baking tray for 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins or until soft when pressed. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork or ricer. Save the skins for another day. While the potato is still hot, mix in the cream and milk to make a smooth mash, season and set aside.
  • While the potatoes are baking, make the fish pie mix. Put a large frying pan on a medium heat. Melt the butter and cook the leeks slowly for 10 mins until they are sweet and tender, then season and add the nutmeg. Stir in the mustard, then pour in the wine and reduce until there is almost no wine left. Pour in the cream and simmer for about 10 mins until reduced by half. Remove from the heat, and add the chives along with the lemon juice and zest. Taste for seasoning.
  • Stir the haddock, salmon and prawns into the creamed leeks and transfer to a medium baking dish, then top with the mashed potato, smooth over to cover the fish, and scatter over the cheeses. Bake for 25-30 mins until the cheese has turned golden brown.

ROASTED FISH WITH LEEKS AND OLIVE SALSA VERDE



Roasted Fish With Leeks and Olive Salsa Verde image

Leeks show their gentle side in this speedy weeknight fish recipe. A lemony olive salsa verde adds brightness to the dish, while red-pepper flakes bring some heat. Serve this with rice, polenta or crusty bread to soak up the tangy-sweet juices. For a richer, more full-flavored variation, try salmon or tuna fillets instead of milder white fish.

Categories     easy, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 thick fillets white fish, such as cod or halibut (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 medium leeks, trimmed, white and light green parts halved lengthwise and rinsed well
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pitted Castelvetrano olives
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1 garlic clove, finely grated, minced or pushed through a garlic press
Large pinch of red-pepper flakes, or to taste
Fine sea or table salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season fish all over with salt and pepper, and set aside while you prepare the leeks.
  • Cut the leeks into matchsticks: Place a leek half, flat side down, on a cutting board and cut it in half crosswise. Then slice the pieces lengthwise into thin (1/4-inch-thick) matchsticks. Repeat with remaining leeks.
  • Spread leeks out on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly drizzle them with oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Push aside the leeks to create 4 spaces in the center of the sheet pan just large enough for the fish fillets, then place the fillets in those cleared spaces. (Avoid putting the fish on top of the leeks, which won't cook as well if they're covered.)
  • Drizzle fish with oil. Roast until the fish is opaque and just cooked through but not yet flaky, about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of fish. The leeks surrounding the fish will be soft and silky, while those at the edges of the pan may turn delightfully brown and crisp in spots. If the fish is done but you think the leeks need a little more time, transfer the fish to a serving platter, tent with foil to keep warm, and continue to cook the leeks for another few minutes.
  • While the fish is in the oven, make the salsa verde: Using a fine rasp grater, grate 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest into a small bowl. Halve the lemon and squeeze in 1 tablespoon juice.
  • Stir in olives, cilantro, garlic, red-pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Slowly drizzle in oil, stirring to combine. Taste and add more salt, red-pepper or another squeeze of lemon, if needed.
  • Place fish on plates and surround with leeks. Top with olive salsa verde.

FISH BAKED IN FOIL WITH LEEKS AND CARROTS



Fish Baked in Foil With Leeks and Carrots image

This is a recipe from Cooks Illustrated (I highly recommend the magazine). We used red snapper but the recipe calls for cod, haddock, halibut or sea bass as other options as long as the fillets are 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick.

Provided by EnjoyingLife

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 35m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh lemon zest, lemon cut into wedges
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave, minced
table salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts halved lengthwise, washed, and cut into matchsticks (about 2 cups)
4 tablespoons vermouth or 4 tablespoons dry white wine
4 cod fish fillets, 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick (about 6 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Combine butter, 1/4 t zest, 1 t garlic, thyme, 1/4 t salt, and 1/8 t pepper in small bowl. Combine parsley, remaining t zest, and remaining t garlic in another small bowl; set aside. Place carrots and leeks in medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss together.
  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 450°Fs. Cut eight 12 inch sheets of foil; arrange four flat on counter. Divide carrot and leek mixture among foil sheets, mounding in center of each. Pour 1 T vermouth over each mound of vegetables. Pat fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper and place one fillet on top of each vegetable mound. Spread quarter of butter mixture on top of each fillet. Place second square of foil on top of fish; crimp edges together in 1/2 inch fold, the fold over three more times to create a packet about 7 inches square. Place packets on rimmed baking sheet (overlapping slightly if necessary).
  • Bake packets 15 minutes. Carefully open foil, allowing steam to escape away from you. Using thin metal spatula, gently slide fish and vegetables onto plate with any accumulated juices; sprinkle with parsley mixture. Served immediately, passing lemon wedges separately.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/8 teaspoon saffron threads
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons hot water
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: This recipe works best with firm-fleshed fish such as cod, haddock, or salmon.
  • Prep the leeks properly: Leeks can be gritty, so be sure to clean them thoroughly before using. Cut off the root end and the dark green leaves, then slice the leeks in half lengthwise and rinse them well under running water.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the fish fillets so that they can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will steam rather than bake.
  • Use good quality white wine: The white wine used in this recipe should be a dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. Avoid using a sweet white wine, as it will make the dish too sweet.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish is a delicate protein and it cooks quickly. Overcooked fish is dry and tough, so be careful not to cook it for too long.

Conclusion:

This recipe for fish baked with leeks is a simple and delicious way to enjoy fish. The leeks add a delicate flavor to the fish, and the white wine and lemon juice help to brighten up the dish. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
