Fish Fillets In Red Pepper Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the parsley, pimento, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, and fresh tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Add carrots, celery and garlic. Cook until carrots are cooked, but still firm.
• Stir in a little water and juice of 1 lemon. Place fish into pan without stirring. Baste fish with liquid. Add sugar.
• When the fish is cooked, remove from heat. Let cool and serve cold

Steps:

• Core and remove the seeds from the red peppers. Cut them into 1/4-inch cubes or strips.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the salmon steaks in one layer.
• Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steaks in the pan and cook over high heat until they are lightly browned, about a minute and a half on each side. The time will vary, depending on the thickness of the fish and the doneness desired.
• Transfer the steaks to a warm platter. Leave the cooking butter in the skillet. Add the shallots and the red peppers. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
• Add the wine, reduce by half, add the cream and cook, stirring over medium high heat until reduced again by half. Check the seasoning.
• Add the salmon steaks, the chopped dill and any juices that have accumulated around the steaks, and bring to a simmer. Cook one minute. Do not overcook. Serve immediately with the dill for decoration.

Steps:

• Put all the peppercorns in a small dry skillet over medium heat. Warm them, shaking the pan, until fragrant, a minute or two. Cool, then transfer to a mortar or electric spice mill. Pound with a pestle or pulse in the spice mill, shaking, to obtain a coarse powder. Reserve 1 tablespoon peppercorn mixture and store remainder.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon peppercorn mixture and swirl pan until foamy and beginning to brown. Add sage leaves and a good pinch of salt. Set aside, off the heat.
• Season fish fillets on both sides with salt and dust very lightly with flour. Put a wide cast-iron skillet over high heat and coat bottom with olive oil.
• When oil is hot, lay the fillets in the pan and let them brown gently, turning down heat as necessary. After 2 minutes, flip fish and cook until no longer translucent when probed, about 2 minutes more. Transfer fish to a warm platter or individual plates.
• Return butter sauce to stove over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and add citrus zest and juice. Stir well, then spoon sauce over fish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat for 5-10min until softened. Add the pepper and fry for a further 2-3min.
• Stir in the tomatoes and vinegar, bring to the boil and cook for 1-2min, then add the fish and poach gently for 10min, adding a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick. Stir through the cilantro, season with salt and pepper and serve.
