Italian Fish And Veggie Pockets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, zucchini, onion, garlic, wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper., Rinse fish and pat dry. Place each fillet on an 18x12-inch piece of heavy-duty foil; season with remaining salt and pepper. Spoon bean mixture over fish; top with lemon slices. Fold foil around fish and crimp edges to seal. Transfer packets to a baking sheet., Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork and vegetables are tender, 15-20 minutes. Be careful of escaping steam when opening packets.

Steps:

• For the dressing:
• Pulse first 5 ingredients in a blender or food processor until frothy. While the blender is running, trickle in the oils until the mixture emulsifies. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the Bruschetta Topping:
• In a medium bowl, add all the ingredients and stir to combine. Set aside. Allow to marinate for 1 to 12 hours. If not using after 2 hours, cover and refrigerate.
• For the Marinara:
• Add the oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir in the onions, garlic, herbs and bay leaf. Saute until aromatic. Add the vinegar and wine and reduce by half. Stir in the diced tomatoes and water, bring to a simmer, and cook for 30 to 40 minutes. Adjust acidity with sugar, if necessary.
• For the Fish:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the fillets out on a sheet pan, skin side down.
• In a small bowl combine 4 teaspoons of butter, the garlic, and parsley, and spread over each fillet.
• Pour 1/4 cup of wine over the fillets and squeeze out the juice from the lemon wedges, making sure to put the used lemon skins on top of the fillets, for more flavor!
• Put in the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the flesh is white and firm.
• While the fish is cooking, put a medium saute pan on high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the bruschetta mixture to the pan and saute until the juices are partially evaporated. Add the remaining 1/4 cup white wine and allow alcohol to burn off, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the fillets from the oven and set aside until ready to serve.
• Spoon about 1/2 cup of warm marinara sauce on the bottom of each plate and top with a fish fillet. Drizzle with the pan drippings, then top with the bruschetta mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish each plate with a generous portion of Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Season fish with salt and pepper. Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Add fish, toss to coat, and chill until ready to use.
• Cook polenta according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook garlic, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer garlic to a plate.
• Cook bell pepper in same skillet, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown and soften, about 3 minutes. Add zucchini, cover, and cook 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add tomatoes, garlic, fish and dressing, 1 Tbsp. slivered basil, and 1 tsp. chopped oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer just until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic, if desired.
• Divide polenta among bowls. Arrange fish mixture over. Garnish with basil and oregano.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut 4 squares of aluminum foil.
• Place 1/2 cup zucchini in the center of 1 piece of foil. Add 1/4 cup potatoes and 1 cod fillet; season with salt and pepper. Layer with 1/4 of the onion slices, 1/4 cup tomatoes, and 1/4 of the basil. Fold foil over vegetables, crimp edges to seal tightly, and place on a baking sheet. Repeat to make remaining packets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Pour 3/4 cup of the dressing over fish and vegetables in shallow glass or plastic dish; cover.
• Refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour to marinate. Drain; discard marinade.
• Preheat greased grill to medium heat. Grill fish and vegetables 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning and brushing occasionally with the remaining 1/4 cup dressing.
