FISH FILLETS IN RED WINE SAUCE (FILETS DE POISSON AU VIN ROUGE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Cook fish stock down until reduced by half. Set aside.
• Trim off bottom end of each scallion and pull off and discard any tough or blemished outer leaves. Cut each scallion into 6-inch lengths. Arrange in flat baking dish and add water to barely cover, 2 tablespoons of the butter, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and let cook about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside.
• Select heatproof skillet or baking dish large enough to hold fish fillets in one layer. Rub bottom with one tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with shallots. Arrange fillets over shallots and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Pour wine and water over fillets. Dot with 3 tablespoons butter. Bring to boil on top of stove. Place in oven and bake 2 1/2 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets. Cook only until fish loses raw look throughout.
• Transfer fillets, 2 at a time, to 4 individual heated serving plates.
• Pour cooking liquid into saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and fish stock with red wine. Cook combined sauces down to one cup. Put this through sieve and press to extract as much liquid as possible. There should be about 3/4 cup. Reheat gently.
• Garnish each serving with 6 individual drained scallions. Spoon sauce around fish but not on top.

RED SEAFOOD SAUCE

• Add shrimp just before serving and either cook until pink, if fresh, or simply heat through. Toss in 3/4 lb cooked linguine.

FISH IN ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

COD WITH HEARTY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Place tomatoes in a blender. Cover and process until pureed., Pat fish dry with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add cod fillets; cook until surface of fish begins to color, 2-4 minutes on each side. Remove from pan., In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender, 2-4 minutes. Stir in seasonings and pureed tomatoes; bring to a boil. Add cod; return just to a boil, spooning sauce over tops. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 5-7 minutes. Serve with pasta. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

FISH IN RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in pot over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, red pepper, celery, carrot bay leaves, herbs, and sauté for a few minutes until softened. You can also use bacon fat here -- I didn't.
• Add red wine; reduce by ½ (this will take about 15-20 minutes, maybe). Add chicken stock; cook 35-40 minutes until "glazed" (in Nick Stellino's words -- I found that it just looked well combined and nice). It will reduce a bit, too.
• Strain sauce; reduce some more (I found this step unnecessary; it had reduced quite a bit cooking with the stock). Combine butter and flour. In stages, whisk in the butter/flour mixture until sauce is the proper consistency (you want it to be a little thickened -- just imagine it on a plate with salmon. you will probably use all of the mixture). Whisk until butter is melted before adding more. Add just a bit of butter for a sheen, if desired.
• Heat light olive oil in pan over medium-high heat. Mix salt, paprika, onion and garlic powders. Coat one side of salmon filet with spice mix; place in pan spice side down. Sprinkle other side of fish with spice mix. Cook until seared (maybe 2-3 minutes each side, depending on thickness); salmon will have a wonderful crust. Flip and cook until other side is seared. If you like your salmon more done, you can cook longer, but the absolute worst is to have it overcooked, and it will cook a bit after you remove it from the pan. Seriously, you're not gonna die from some slightly rawish salmon. This whole searing salmon thing is not something I'd done before, and it's a fantastic way to prepare it. The fats and sugars ooze out and combine with the spice rub to make this just perfect crust.
• To serve, coat plate with red wine sauce; add salmon filet. Add veggies -- Mr. Stellino added steamed, sauteed baby bok choy; I found broccoli works well too with that sauce. Add mashed potatoes if you're into starch. Anything else will absorb too much of the sauce. Serve with glasses of the same wine you used in the sauce.
• Note: another thing Mr. Stellino did was to chop and fry up some slab bacon (apparently this kind he gets is as expensive as foie gras -- it made me want to eat bacon, and i am a vegetarian except for fish), and sprinkle some on top of the salmon when done. This is not necessary but might add some nice flavor.

FISH WITH RED CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Grind dried shrimp in grinder until fluffy, about 1 minute.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook curry paste, stirring constantly, 30 seconds. Add coconut milk gradually, whisking until smooth, then add fish sauce and sugar and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Stir in ground shrimp, then remove from heat and keep covered.
• Heat 1 inch oil in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan until it registers 375°F on thermometer. Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt. Dredge in rice flour, shaking off excess, and arrange in 1 layer on a plate.
• Cook beans in oil 30 seconds and transfer to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 375°F and fry fish in 2 batches, turning, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer fish to fresh paper towels to drain. Bring curry sauce to a simmer, then add fish and cook, turning fish gently to coat with sauce, about 1 minute.
• Serve fish curry with long beans scattered on top.
