Fish In Red Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and shallots; cook and stir until transparent, about 3 minutes. Season with tarragon, salt and white pepper. Increase the heat to medium, and stir in the white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, then whisk for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and sprinkle in parsley. Pour over your favorite white fish before serving.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cod and sauté just until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, turning the cod carefully with a wide spatula. Remove the cod to a plate and keep warm.
• Place the shallots in the skillet and sauté until softened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and port. Cook for 1 minute longer. Cut the remaining teaspoon of butter into small pieces and whisk it into the sauce. Season with the salt and pepper. Strain.
• Spoon the sauce into the center of 4 plates. Top with a cod fillet and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut the butter into cubes and heat 1 tablespoon in a heavy frying pan until foaming. Sprinkle the tuna steaks on each side with salt and pepper, add them to the pan and saute over quite high heat about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile peel and thinly slice the shallots. Turn the steaks and brown the other side, about 1 to 2 minutes longer. Strip the herb leaves from the stems.
• Test the steaks in the center with a small knife, cooking them to rare or medium done depending on your taste. Transfer them to a plate, cover and keep them warm. Chop the herbs.
• Add the shallots to the pan and saute, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the red wine and boil rapidly until reduced by about half. Off the heat, whisk in the remaining cubes of butter until it softens and thickens the sauce slightly. Stir in the chopped herbs and taste for seasoning. Transfer the steaks to 4 warmed plates and spoon over the sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add onion and garlic and begin to saute. Cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes (if onions begin to stick add a spoonful of water to the skillet and continue to cook).
• Add the red wine, clam juice, capers, and thyme and bring liquid to a boil. Simmer over low heat until reduced to 1/2 cup.
• Right before serving bring the sauce back to a simmer and add the fish. Cover and cook over very low heat until the fish is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and swirl in butter and parsley (don't worry if fish falls apart).
• Adjust seasoning and spoon in deep plates over rice, potatoes or garlic croutons.

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the salmon fillet. Set the skin aside. Cut the skinless fillet into four pieces of equal size. Set aside.
• Melt one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots, carrots and garlic. Cook briefly, stirring. Add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf and reserved salmon skin. Cook, stirring, about three minutes and sprinkle with arrowroot. Stir to blend and add the wine. Bring to the simmer and cook over low heat about 15 minutes.
• Line a bowl with a sieve and pour the sauce into the sieve. Press with a spatula or the back of a large spoon to extract as much liquid as possible from the solids. There should be about three-quarters of a cup. Discard the solids.
• Heat one tablespoon of butter in a skillet, preferably of the nonstick variety, large enough to hold the salmon pieces in one layer. Sprinkle the salmon pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet. Cook two to three minutes (the cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish pieces) and turn. Cook two to three minutes on the second side. Sprinkle with the marc de bourgogne and pour the strained red-wine sauce over the fish. Turn the pieces in the sauce and transfer the pieces to a warm platter. Swirl the remaining two tablespoons of butter into the sauce and pour it over the fish.

Steps:

• Bring stock to a boil in a non-aluminum saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until stock is reduced to 1/4 cup.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients and heat through, about 2 minutes.
• Serve over salmon or other fish as desired.

Steps:

• Heat oil in pot over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, red pepper, celery, carrot bay leaves, herbs, and sauté for a few minutes until softened. You can also use bacon fat here -- I didn't.
• Add red wine; reduce by ½ (this will take about 15-20 minutes, maybe). Add chicken stock; cook 35-40 minutes until "glazed" (in Nick Stellino's words -- I found that it just looked well combined and nice). It will reduce a bit, too.
• Strain sauce; reduce some more (I found this step unnecessary; it had reduced quite a bit cooking with the stock). Combine butter and flour. In stages, whisk in the butter/flour mixture until sauce is the proper consistency (you want it to be a little thickened -- just imagine it on a plate with salmon. you will probably use all of the mixture). Whisk until butter is melted before adding more. Add just a bit of butter for a sheen, if desired.
• Heat light olive oil in pan over medium-high heat. Mix salt, paprika, onion and garlic powders. Coat one side of salmon filet with spice mix; place in pan spice side down. Sprinkle other side of fish with spice mix. Cook until seared (maybe 2-3 minutes each side, depending on thickness); salmon will have a wonderful crust. Flip and cook until other side is seared. If you like your salmon more done, you can cook longer, but the absolute worst is to have it overcooked, and it will cook a bit after you remove it from the pan. Seriously, you're not gonna die from some slightly rawish salmon. This whole searing salmon thing is not something I'd done before, and it's a fantastic way to prepare it. The fats and sugars ooze out and combine with the spice rub to make this just perfect crust.
• To serve, coat plate with red wine sauce; add salmon filet. Add veggies -- Mr. Stellino added steamed, sauteed baby bok choy; I found broccoli works well too with that sauce. Add mashed potatoes if you're into starch. Anything else will absorb too much of the sauce. Serve with glasses of the same wine you used in the sauce.
• Note: another thing Mr. Stellino did was to chop and fry up some slab bacon (apparently this kind he gets is as expensive as foie gras -- it made me want to eat bacon, and i am a vegetarian except for fish), and sprinkle some on top of the salmon when done. This is not necessary but might add some nice flavor.

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:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Cook fish stock down until reduced by half. Set aside.
• Trim off bottom end of each scallion and pull off and discard any tough or blemished outer leaves. Cut each scallion into 6-inch lengths. Arrange in flat baking dish and add water to barely cover, 2 tablespoons of the butter, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and let cook about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside.
• Select heatproof skillet or baking dish large enough to hold fish fillets in one layer. Rub bottom with one tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with shallots. Arrange fillets over shallots and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Pour wine and water over fillets. Dot with 3 tablespoons butter. Bring to boil on top of stove. Place in oven and bake 2 1/2 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets. Cook only until fish loses raw look throughout.
• Transfer fillets, 2 at a time, to 4 individual heated serving plates.
• Pour cooking liquid into saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and fish stock with red wine. Cook combined sauces down to one cup. Put this through sieve and press to extract as much liquid as possible. There should be about 3/4 cup. Reheat gently.
• Garnish each serving with 6 individual drained scallions. Spoon sauce around fish but not on top.
