Seared Whitefish With Mustard Sauce And Saffron Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. (You can also use an ovenproof baking dish.) Place the fish fillets skin side down on the sheet pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Combine the creme fraiche, 2 mustards, shallots, capers, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fish fillets, making sure the fish is completely covered. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it's barely done. (The fish will flake easily at the thickest part when it's done.) Be sure not to overcook it! Serve hot or at room temperature with the sauce from the pan spooned over the top.

Steps:

• Heat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Saute mushrooms in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until soft. Keep warm in pan.

• Wipe the whitefish fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl combine the mustard, garlic, lemon juice, safflower oil and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fillets and let sit for an hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thin, using a food processor if you like. Arrange them in a shallow baking dish that will hold the fillets comfortably in one layer. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and dot with butter. You may need to make two layers or more of potato.
• Add the onion and half of the creme fraiche, spreading it over the potatoes, just enough to moisten. Sprinkle with paprika, cover and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and spread the fillets over the top. Pour the rest of the cream evenly over the fillets. Bake, uncovered, until the fish flakes with a fork, and the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.

• Serve sauce over fish and Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cover 2 pounds small red new potatoes (about 21) with cold water; season with coarse salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook just until tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 15 minutes. If saving for another day, drain and let cool; then cover and refrigerate for later use.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. Smash each potato with the base of your palm and place on sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until crisp, about 20 minutes.
• Make green sauce. Chop remaining mint and basil and 1 bunch fresh parsley leaves. In a bowl, combine with 1 garlic clove, minced, and 1 tablespoon chopped capers. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and enough extra-virgin olive oil to coat; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. If saving for another day, cover and refrigerate for later use.
• Make roasted tomatoes. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees. Halve 14 plum tomatoes. On 2 large rimmed baking sheets, arrange tomatoes, cut side up, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Bake until softened and edges are crinkled, about 1 hour. If saving for another day, let cool. Cover and refrigerate for later use.
• Meanwhile, score fish skin in a few places with a paring knife and season fillets with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add fish, skin side down, and cook until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; flip fish and cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve fish with green sauce, potatoes, and tomatoes.
