OT - Fish/Seafood Recipes

I know there are folks who have started Fish and Seafood Season (Lent). It's easy to get stuck in a rut and make the same ol' tuna casserole.

How about sharing a favorite recipe? 

Fish with Swiss Cheese Sauce

  •  6 flounder fillets, cut about ¼ inch thick (about 1 ½ pounds)
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 Tbsp dry white wine
  • ½ cup shredded swiss cheese (I like emmental)
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh or dried parsley

Preheat oven to 400. In a 3- quart oblong baking dish, arrange fish fillets in a single layer. Bake 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soup and wine. Pour soup mixture over fillets, stirring into cooking liquid. Sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Bake 5 minutes more or until fish flakes easily with fork.

I make glaze that's equal part honey, dijon mustard, and bourbon. Mix it up good and chill. Brush over salmon and put in the fridge 30 minutes. Grill it or bake it.

Advice, I posted this because a coworker was grumbling about all the tuna casserole his wife makes - and he hates tuna. Then again, maybe that's why she makes it!

Years ago, we would go to Bodega Bay and buy crabs from the fishermen coming back into the harbor,  We'd dump them into big ice chest filled with ice and haul butt up pass the little town of Jenner, Hike down to the beach and gather driftwood, then go calm digging. Someone always brought a huge cooking pot, a bag of corn and red potatoes. We'd have 10 to 15 people running around calm digging and fishing in the surf or diving for mussels. We would fill the cooking pot with sea water and add whatever was caught fishing, crabs, and calms, dumped a whole bottle of Cajon hot sauce in the pot to add favor. This was over 35 years ago and the sea water wasn't as polluted or we just didn't think about it.

Herbs of choice 

EVOO baking dish and place cod filets. Mix everything else and pour over cod. Amount of ingredient depends on how many servings... i just eyeball it - and I like a good bit of sauce... some don't.

Cook at 400 until fish is done.

Sooooo good!

As I am the main cook in the house, during Lent my household follows my diet: vegetarian.  HOWEVER, on a Sunday, I will cook fish. As it is cold weather, one of the meals the boys enjoy is Thai Green Fish curry. I load it with vegetables too, and only halfway through the cooking process do I separate out my food from the meat/fish eaters. It’s a quick and easy meal – and tastes good too. (The boys are allowed to eat meat during Lent, I am just not cooking it... )   

Thai Green Curry – both Fish and Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 courgette, sliced into half moons
  • 3 tbsp Thai green curry paste
  • 30g pack fresh coriander, stalks chopped and leaves reserved
  • 2 limes, one zested and juiced, the other cut into slices to serve
  • 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
  • 400ml tin coconut milk
  • 250 gr of green veg to your taste:  chopped spinanch, broccoli, sugar snap peas
  • 500g white fish, cut into chunks
  • 100grm of additional shellfish if you like: shrimps, mussels
  • 1-2 tsp fish sauce (to your taste)
  •  Rice of your choice, cooked to pack instructions, to serve (I normally use wild brown rice or jasmine rice.)
  • Course black pepper
  • Optional: quarter cup of roughly chopped unsalted almonds for extra taste and crunch - sprinkled on when served.
  • Optional extra chillies chopped – dependant on how hot you like your curry.

 

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a wok or large pan. Fry the courgettes over a high heat for 5 mins. Add the green curry paste, coriander stalks and lime zest, and cook for 1-2 mins.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and coconut milk – add in the desired amount of chilly. (At this point I take out the amount of sauce  I need for my vegetarian serving and use two separate pans – one for me and one for the boys who eat fish.)
     Return to the heat, bring to the boil, then turn down and stir in the vegetables and nestle the fish into the sauce. Simmer for 6-8 mins, until the fish is cooked through.
  3. Season with 1-2 tsp fish sauce (not the vegetarian pan), the juice of half a lime and some black pepper. Serve with the rice and lime halves and garnish with the coriander leaves and almonds.

 Serves  4 (with enough over for a second helping).
 Prep time is around  5 mins, cooking time is 15 mins.
