Herbed fish cooking is a delicious and healthy way to prepare fish. Herbs add a burst of flavor to the fish, and they can also help to enhance the fish's natural aromas. There are many different herbs that can be used to cook fish, so you can experiment to find the ones that you like best. Some popular herbs for cooking fish include basil, cilantro, dill, fennel, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. These herbs can be used fresh, dried, or ground. They can be added to the fish before cooking, or they can be used to make a sauce or marinade that can be poured over the fish.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces boneless fish fillet, such as snapper or cod
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 large sprig fresh thyme
2 Cerignola or other large green olives with pits
Extra-large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the fish fillet on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the top of the fillet. Lay the thyme on top and place the olives next to the fillet.
  • Beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of water for an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edge of the parchment paper and fold it in half. Carefully fold the edge of the parchment paper under and around the fish to make a package. Place the package on a sheet pan and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Serve hot in the parchment paper.

PAN-SEARED TILEFISH WITH GARLIC, HERBS AND LEMON



Pan-Seared Tilefish With Garlic, Herbs and Lemon image

All cooks needs a basic sautéed fish fillet recipe in their repertory, and this one could not be much simpler. It does require a step that may intimidate on first glance: you baste the fish with the fat you're cooking it in. Don't worry. Just use a good amount of fat in the pan, about a tablespoon per person (you could get away with a little less if you insist, or use half white wine and half fat). Basting helps cook the fish evenly and keeps it and moist. In this recipe, the fat is butter. As the fish cooks, the butter browns, taking on a nutty scent that is classic with seafood. Tilefish is specified but any firm fillet will do, from sea bass to grouper.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 skinless tilefish or other sturdy, thick white fish fillets (about 7 to 8 ounces each), skins removed
Kosher salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 green garlic shoots or scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped chives, mint, lovage and/or sorrel
1 tablespoon minced lemon thyme or regular leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped tarragon, basil or marjoram
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Remove any remaining pin bones in the fish, pat dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Once butter has begun to foam, lay fish in pan. Add green garlic or scallions and a pinch of salt. Without disturbing the fish, tilt the pan toward you; using a spoon, ladle green garlic butter over fish. Continue basting fish for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Using a spatula, gently flip fish. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Uncover pan, add herbs and continue basting fish with butter until it is just cooked through, another minute or two longer.
  • Transfer fish to a serving platter or individual plates, pour pan sauce over the top, and pour lemon juice over everything. Season with more salt and black pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

HERB-MARINATED SWORDFISH



Herb-Marinated Swordfish image

Swordfish steaks are meaty in texture yet delicate in flavor and best when cooked to medium, so that the flesh is firm but still juicy. (Like many proteins, it can get tough if overcooked.) Rather than marinating in advance, here the fish is marinated after cooking: Cooked in a skillet until golden, the steaks are then left to soak up a piquant pan sauce while warm. The sauce imparts the punchy flavors of briny capers and citrus, while the olive oil keeps the steaks moist. Serve with a simple salad or with crusty bread for sopping up the juices.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds (1-inch-thick) swordfish steaks (about 3 or 4)
Salt
3 tablespoons drained capers, plus 1 tablespoon caper brine
2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped chives
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low. Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil all over the swordfish and season with salt. Add to skillet and cook until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden underneath and medium throughout (flesh should be opaque, firm and flaky), about 5 minutes longer. Transfer fish to a shallow baking dish.
  • To the skillet, add the remaining oil and the capers, and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until capers are sizzling vigorously but not browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in caper brine, lemon juice, pepper, parsley and chives. Pour the caper-herb oil over the fish. Let marinate at room temperature, turning once or twice and occasionally spooning the caper oil over the fish, for 15 minutes.
  • Divide fish among plates and drizzle with some of the caper oil. Serve warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges and crusty bread.

CRISPY BAKED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE



Crispy Baked Fish With Tartar Sauce image

Charming fish shacks and salty sea air aren't a weeknight possibility for most of us, but thankfully, this recipe is. It features a clever technique from recipe developer Molly Kreuger: Creamy tartar sauce is spread on the fish to add flavor, keep the fillets moist during cooking and help the bread crumbs adhere to the fish. (Feel free to use your favorite tartar sauce in place of the one below.) The fish is baked until nearly cooked through, then broiled to toast the breadcrumb topping. The end result is crispy, creamy, tangy and moist, all of which is achieved without having to deal with a big pot of oil. Eat with more tartar sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped pickles (such as cornichons or half sour)
2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon, dill or parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire or soy sauce
1 small garlic clove
1 large lemon
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
4 (6-ounce) thick white fish fillets, such as halibut or cod (skin on or off)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the upper part. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, capers, pickles, herbs and Worcestershire sauce. Using a Microplane, finely grate the garlic into the bowl, then grate in the zest of the lemon. (Hold onto the lemon; you'll use the juice later.) Stir to combine and season the tartar sauce to taste with salt and lots of pepper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the panko and olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Pat the fish dry on all sides and season lightly all over with salt and pepper. Transfer to a lightly greased or foil-lined sheet pan. Coat the top with a thin layer of the tartar sauce (a scant tablespoon per fillet). Sprinkle the panko evenly on top (about 2 tablespoons per fillet), pressing gently to adhere.
  • Bake the fish on the top rack until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes for fillets between ½- and ¾-inch-thick (though you should check earlier, if using a thinner fish). An instant-read thermometer should read somewhere between 125 and 130 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the fish.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon juice from the lemon to the tartar sauce and cut the remaining lemon into 4 wedges for serving.
  • When the fish is nearly cooked through, switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish on the top rack until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish flakes easily and registers 140 degrees in the thickest part, 2 to 3 minutes. Eat with a spoonful of tartar sauce, more black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. (Any extra tartar sauce will keep for up to a week in the fridge.)

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER



Pan-Roasted Fish Fillets With Herb Butter image

A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and a basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. This life-changing method is adopted from a former chef and current fishmonger, Mark Usewicz of Mermaid's Garden in Brooklyn, who also teaches cooking classes in topics like "How to Cook Fish in a New York City Apartment." The cooking time is so short that the smell - which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering - will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of tender fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with nutty, lemony brown butter and perfumed with herbs. You can use virtually any fish fillet, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 5- to 6-ounce fish fillets, like black bass, haddock, fluke, striped bass, tilefish, snapper or salmon, 1/2- to 1-inch thick
Salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme, tarragon, chives or another herb
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
  • Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest fish possible. Fresh fish will have a mild, briny smell and firm, elastic flesh. Avoid fish that smells fishy or has soft, mushy flesh.
  • Use a variety of herbs to flavor your fish. Some good choices include basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano. You can also use lemon zest, garlic, and ginger to add flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Fish is delicate and cooks quickly. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough. Cook fish until it is just opaque in the center.
  • Serve fish with a variety of sides. Some good choices include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice. You can also serve fish with a simple salad or a tangy sauce.

Conclusion:

Herbed fish is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile protein. By following these tips, you can create flavorful and memorable dishes that will please your family and friends.
