Pompano En Salsa Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. When it is very hot, add the potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes, turning frequently with a metal spatula, until they are light brown on all sides. If there is quite a lot of oil remaining in the pan, drain off and discard some of it. Scatter the onion, garlic, salt and pepper evenly over the potatoes and pour in the boiling water and the wine. Do not stir, but instead shake the pan back and forth for a minute to distribute the water evenly.
• Cover the skillet and turn the heat to low. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Shake the skillet back and forth occasionally to stop the potatoes from sticking. Three minutes before the potatoes will be done, stir in the parsley. With a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a warm serving platter and pour some of the cooking juices over them. Pass the remaining cooking juices, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Sprinkle the fish evenly with the salt. Place in the pan skin-side down and cook translucent. Flip, add the butter and let brown. Add the shallots, tomatoes and red onions. Saute until the shallots are translucent and the tomatoes are blistered. Baste the fish with the juices and butter and remove from the pan. Place the fish on a plate and spoon the onion and tomato over and around the fish.

Steps:

• Carefully clean, rinse and pat dry the hake. Sprinkle the fillets lightly with salt.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic just begins to color, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over and mix thoroughly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of water, the clam broth or juice, wine, parsley and salt to taste. Decrease the heat to medium and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thick or just barely coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. You can add more cold water to loosen up the sauce if necessary.
• Add the hake to the pan, skin-side up, in a single layer. Cook the hake fillets in the sauce for 2 minutes, swirling the pan constantly and sliding the pan on and off the fire until the hake fillets give off some of their gelatin and emulsify with the rest of the sauce. Flip the hake fillets once and cook until the fish is opaque but not overcooked, another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. The sauce should be very light green and slightly thick but still loose and light. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place all of the above ingredients in a blender. Blend until very smooth.
• Use as a sauce over very hot, boiled, and skinned potatoes.

Steps:

• Season the fish with salt and white pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add fish, skin side up, and cook for about 3 minutes or until browned. (You may have to cook fish in 2 batches, add more oil as necessary.) Flip fish and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until cooked through. Keep warm.
• While the fish is cooking, heat the crabmeat and melted butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook just until crabmeat is hot.
• To serve, place a pompano fillet in the center of each plate, and top with 3 ounces of crabmeat. Garnish with chopped parsley, parsley sprigs, and a lemon half.
