OVEN-POACHED PACIFIC SOLE WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE



Oven-Poached Pacific Sole With Lemon Caper Sauce image

A fish piccata of sorts, this dish is easy to make and the lemon-caper sauce marries well with delicate varieties like sole, fluke or flounder, as well as more robust fish like swordfish. Start by laying fish fillets out in a baking dish and seasoning them with salt and pepper. Finely chop some shallots and briefly cook them in a skillet before adding wine. Pour the wine and shallots over the fish, cover with foil and bake until opaque and the fish pulls apart easily when gently probed with a fork. Meanwhile, whisk together garlic, capers, lemon juice and olive oil. When the fish emerges from the oven, pour the liquid from the dish back into the skillet to make a pan sauce. Reduce it to about 1/4 cup - thicker than you may imagine - stirring all the while. Add the garlic-caper mixture and some chopped parsley, whisk together and serve on top of the fillets, the mild flesh of the fish bathing in the bright, brawny flavors of the sauce.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds Pacific sole or flounder fillets
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 cup dry white wine (you can also use rosé; the sauce will have a pink hue)
1 plump garlic clove, minced or puréed (more to taste)
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil or butter one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish fillets in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish(es) and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small or medium skillet and add the shallot. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine to the pan, bring to a boil, and pour the wine and shallots over the fish. Return the skillet to the stove (make sure the heat is off) for later use. Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or 5 minutes for each 1/2 inch of thickness, until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork.
  • While the fish is in the oven, whisk together the garlic, capers, lemon juice and olive oil. You can also mash the garlic in a mortar and pestle and work in the capers, lemon juice and olive oil, though I prefer the capers chopped, even some intact, and not puréed.
  • When the fish is done remove it from the oven and carefully transfer to a platter or plates. Cover and keep warm. Pour the liquid in the baking dish into the skillet and turn the heat on high. Reduce, stirring often, to about 1/4 cup - it should be thick - and stir in the garlic and caper mixture and the parsley. Whisk together, taste and adjust seasoning, pour over the fish and serve.

POACHED COD WITH LEMON-PARSLEY SAUCE



Poached Cod With Lemon-Parsley Sauce image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (juice of 1 large or 2 small lemons)
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
6 cups water
6 pieces codfish, preferably the thick, back fillets (about 1 3/4 pounds total, each 4 to 5 ounces and 1 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Mix the lemon-parsley sauce ingredients together thoroughly in a small bowl, then set aside.
  • At serving time, bring the 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Holding the fish fillets with a slotted spoon or skimmer, lower them individually into the pan, and bring the water back to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low, and poach the fish, cooking the pieces at a very light boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are barely cooked through.
  • Using a slotted spoon or skimmer, lift the fish from the water, drain thoroughly, and arrange one fillet on each of six warm plates. Press the fish lightly with a spatula or fork to make it separate a little into flakes, which will permit the sauce to be absorbed and to penetrate the interior of the fish.
  • Spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.

POACHED SWORDFISH WITH LEMON-PARSLEY SAUCE RECIPE



Poached Swordfish with Lemon-Parsley Sauce Recipe image

Provided by Lulubelle

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Tbsp Butter
4 thin sliced sweet onion
2 cups water
4 ) 6oz Swordfish steaks
Sea Salt, to taste
1 Lemon
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp fresh flat-leaf Parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Use the butter to grease the bottom and halfway up the side of the slow cooker. Arrange the onion slices over the bottom of the slow cooker, pressing them into the butter so that they stay in place. Pour in the water. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes Place a swordfish steak over each onion slice. Thinly slice the lemon; discard the seeds and place the slices over the fish. Cover and cook on high for 45 minutes or until the fish is opaque. Transfer the (well-drained) fish to individual serving plates or to a serving platter Add the oil,lemon juice, mustard and pepper, if using, to a bowl; whisk to combine. Immediately before serving the swordfish, fold in the parsley. Evenly divide the sauce between the swordfish steaks. For a Swordfish Salad: Triple the amount of lemon-parsley sauce and toss 2/3 of it together with 8 cups of salad greens. Arrange 2 cups of greens on each serving plate. Place a hot or chilled swordfish steak over each plate of the dressed greens. Spoon additional sauce over the fish.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest swordfish possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan for poaching. This will ensure that the swordfish has enough room to cook evenly.
  • Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer before adding the swordfish. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking.
  • Cook the swordfish for 8-10 minutes, or until it is just cooked through. Overcooked swordfish will be tough and dry.
  • Serve the swordfish immediately with your favorite sauce.

Conclusion:

Poached swordfish is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. It is a great option for a light lunch or dinner, and can be served with a variety of sauces and sides. With its mild flavor and firm texture, swordfish is a great choice for those who are new to seafood.
