Roasted Fish with Light Herb Sauce image

An easy sauce with the flavors of Provence makes fish fillets into a meal worthy of company. I like to add steamed rice and sautéed spinach to complete the plate. The recipe works with many types of fish such as cod, flounder, sole, trout, tilapia or catfish. -Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH FRESH HERB SAUCE



Roasted Halibut With Fresh Herb Sauce image

Halibut with herb sauce dares to bring fish that's not smoked to the brunch table. Created by husband-and-wife team, Gayle Pirie and John Clark, of San Francisco's Zuni Cafe, when they resolved to rescue what they saw as an unloved meal from its second-class status. They accomplished this feat in part by moving beyond eggs. While this dish doesn't shout Christmas any more than it does brunch, it's ideal for the holidays: easy to prepare, perfect to serve to large groups and crafted to make the most of comforting seasonal ingredients. Match this simple, mild fish with a light, fresh and fruity white like the fragrant 1998 Antinori Galestro or the 1998 Anselmi Soave San Vincenzo. MAKE AHEAD The sauce can be refrigerated for several hours.

ROASTED FISH WITH LEMON, SESAME AND HERB BREADCRUMBS



Roasted Fish With Lemon, Sesame and Herb Breadcrumbs image

Trout is an ideal weeknight dinner because its thin fillets cook in minutes. All it really needs is some butter and lemon, but an herb-panko mixture adds freshness and crunch. The breadcrumb mixture is inspired by za'atar, a spice blend that includes sesame seeds, dried herbs and tart-citrusy sumac. Using fresh thyme and oregano instead of dried herbs, and lemon zest in place of dried sumac yields a brighter final dish. If you want to use dried za'atar, swap in 3 tablespoons of the blend for the first four ingredients. Serve the fish alongside rice, a green salad, boiled potatoes or braised chickpeas. The fish roasts in about the same time as string beans, broccolini or snap peas would, so you can also roast vegetables on a second baking sheet while the fish cooks.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon zest, lemon cut into wedges for serving
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup panko bread crumbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 (4 to 6-ounce) trout fillets or 2 whole butterflied trout

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Rub the mixture between your fingers until the herbs are bruised and fragrant. Stir in the bread crumbs and butter until combined.
  • Season the trout with salt and pepper and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Spoon the bread crumbs evenly over the fish and bake until the fish is opaque and the bread crumbs are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.

CRISPY-SKINNED FISH WITH HERB SAUCE



Crispy-Skinned Fish with Herb Sauce image

You don't need a culinary school degree to cook fish with skin as crunchy as a potato chip. Grab your nonstick skillet, start the fish skin side down, and slowly raise the heat. The skin will lie flat, gradually rendering fat like a strip of bacon, while the flesh gently cooks through. You can do this. Anyone can do this.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 oil-packed anchovy fillets (optional)
1 small garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped tender herbs (such as parsley, dill, and/or basil)
1 Tbsp. chopped pickles (capers, cornichons, or chile)
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice or white wine vinegar
6 Tbsp. (or more) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 (5-6-oz.) skin-on black bass, striped bass, snapper, or salmon fillets
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Using the side of a chef's knife, mash anchovies (if using) and garlic on a cutting board until a coarse paste forms. Mix in a medium bowl with herbs, pickles, lemon juice, and 5 Tbsp. oil. Season green sauce with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Swirl remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet to coat. Season fish generously on both sides with salt and lay, skin side down, in cold skillet. Place skillet over medium heat and let it gradually heat up until fat starts to cook out of fish, about 4 minutes. At this point you may press gently on fish so that the skin is flat against the pan. Continue to cook until skin is super-crisp and flesh is mostly opaque (you can increase or decrease heat slightly if needed, but don't try to rush it), 8-12 minutes longer, depending on the thickness of the fish. Less fatty fish won't release as much fat on their own, so you may need to add a splash more oil to the skillet if the skin isn't getting crisp enough. Turn fish and cook just until opaque all the way through, about 1 minute.
  • Spoon green sauce onto a platter and carefully set fish, skin side up, on top. Sprinkle with sea salt.

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 Right Fish: Opt for firm-fleshed fish fillets or steaks, such as salmon, halibut, cod, or tilapia, that can withstand the heat of roasting without breaking apart.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A flavorful blend of herbs, spices, and salt will enhance the natural taste of the fish.
  • Roast at High Heat: High heat will create a crispy exterior and a tender, flaky interior. Aim for a roasting temperature between 400-425°F (200-220°C).
  • Don't Overcook: Fish cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. The ideal internal temperature for most fish is around 145°F (63°C).
  • Use a Quality Herb Sauce: The herb sauce is the perfect complement to the roasted fish. Make sure to use fresh herbs for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted fish with light herb sauce is a simple yet elegant dish that showcases the natural flavors of the fish.
