Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, plus dribble of oil from anchovies
12 fillets redfish, red snapper, sea bream, ocean perch or rockfish, skin on
1 clove garlic, minced
2 anchovy fillets
Leaves from a few sprigs thyme
2 tablespoons sherry
1 fat pat unsalted butter (approximately 1 tablespoon)

Steps:

  • In a large, nonstick frying pan (I use Woll fish pan here) pour a little olive oil and, when warm, start frying the fish. They won't need much, but keep an eye - some fillets may be thicker than others - and remove to a couple of warm plates, tented with foil, as they're cooked. I think those look best with the pearly pink skin uppermost.
  • When all the fish fillets are cooked, add a tablespoon of olive oil plus the dribble of anchovy oil to the pan and stir in the minced garlic and the anchovy fillets. Keep stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula and, as the oil warms, the garlic should soften and the anchovies seem to melt into a sauce. Add most of the thyme leaves, then the sherry. After a scant minute's bubbling, replace the wooden spoon in your hand with a wire whisk or a handheld mixer or electric whisk - one of my favorite pieces of equipment - and, off the heat, whisk in the butter. Pour this amount of viscous sauce over the 2 plates of fish (this is for flavoring, not coverage), then sprinkle with the few remaining thyme leaves. Serve with the chickpeas and tomato salad. I know this sounds like a lot for 8, but I like to work on making enough for half those present to have second helpings. At any rate, I've found that a good rule of thumb.

I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, but I really liked this recipe. The anchovies added a nice salty flavor that complemented the fish.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some cooked salmon and it worked perfectly.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The fish was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland.

This recipe was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of fish.

I wasn't sure about this recipe at first, but I'm glad I tried it. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe! I used tilapia instead of redfish and it was still delicious. The anchovies and thyme really complemented the fish.

This recipe is a keeper! The fish was flaky and moist, and the sauce was flavorful and tangy. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.
