FISH FILLETS WITH GRAPEFRUIT TARRAGON BEURRE BLANC



Fish Fillets with Grapefruit Tarragon Beurre Blanc image

Categories     Fish     Bake     Grapefruit     White Wine     Tarragon     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup minced shallot
four 6- to 8-ounce white fish fillets such as red snapper or scrod
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons bottled clam juice
2/3 cup fresh grapefruit juice
1/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon leaves or 1/4 teaspoon crumbled dried, or to taste
fresh grapefruit sections as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the shallot into a buttered shallow baking dish just large enough to hold the fish fillets in one layer, on the shallot arrange the fillets, skin sides down, and pour the wine and the clam juice over them. Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper to taste and bake them, covered with a buttered piece of wax paper, in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are just cooked through. Transfer the fillets with a slotted spatula to a platter and keep them warm, covered.
  • Strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, add the grapefruit juice, and boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 2/3 cup. Add the cream and boil the mixture until it is reduced by half. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter, 1 bit at a time, lifting the pan from the heat occasionally to let the mixture cool and adding each new bit of butter before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce should not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of thin hollandaise.) Whisk in the tarragon and salt and pepper to taste. With the slotted spatula transfer each fillet, skin side down, to a plate. Pour one fourth of the sauce over each fillet and arrange some of the grapefruit sections around each plate.

FOIL WRAPPED FISH WITH LEMON AND TARRAGON



Foil Wrapped Fish With Lemon and Tarragon image

I needed an easy recipe to cook on the grill during an excruciating kitchen remodel (18 months without a kitchen). I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so I created this recipe

Provided by DrBuzzetta

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 25m

Yield 2 Pounds, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs cod
1 lemon
1/4 ounce tarragon
1/4 ounce chives
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch salt (pink Himalayan)
1 pinch black pepper

Steps:

  • Place individual fillets on a large piece of aluminum foil.
  • In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons butter and 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and garlic, and heat bowl until melted.
  • Spread butter and oil mixture evenly over each fillet.
  • Distribute the sprigs of tarragon evenly over each fillet. (I had two fillets, so I put about 2-3 sprigs on each.).
  • Sprinkle chopped chives over each fillet.
  • Slice lemon into enough slices to cover each fillet. (I had 2.5 slices on each of my two fillets.).
  • Grind fresh black pepper and pink Himalayen salt over each fillet to taste.
  • Drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil over each fillet.
  • Seal foil around fillets as airtight as possible.
  • Grill or bake at 400°F (High Grill) for about 10-12 minutes depending on thickness (about 10 minutes per inch).
  • Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For tarragon fish recipes, firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, trout, or cod are ideal. These fish can withstand the strong flavor of tarragon without becoming overpowered.
  • Use fresh tarragon: Fresh tarragon has a more intense flavor than dried tarragon, so it is best to use it whenever possible. If you are using dried tarragon, use about half the amount of fresh tarragon called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Tarragon fish is best when cooked just until done. Overcooked fish will become dry and tough.
  • Serve tarragon fish with a simple sauce: A simple sauce made with butter, lemon juice, and fresh tarragon is a perfect accompaniment to tarragon fish. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as white wine, capers, or shallots.
  • Tarragon fish can be served hot or cold: Tarragon fish is delicious served hot or cold. Cold tarragon fish is a great option for a summer picnic or potluck.

Conclusion:

Tarragon fish is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a simple weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, tarragon fish is sure to please. With its delicate flavor and elegant appearance, tarragon fish is a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
