I hope there are some good fish recipes in your files! I know I need to eat more fish myself.

Please, as always, T+T recipes.

This Cookalong will run for the next two weeks.

Here are a couple of my favorites.

Filets du Sole Au Crevettes
(Fillets of Sole with Shrimp)

1 lb sole filets (I used haddock)
1T lemon juice
1/4 c fresh parsley, chopped
1 3oz can whole mushrooms, drained (I didn't use)
1T dijon mustard
1 tsp cornstarch
1 c cream
1 c cooked tiny shrimp, drained
2 T fine dry bread crumbs
1 tsp butter, melted
Brush each filet with lemon juice, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle one side with parsley, cut fish in half lengthwise. Roll each up loosely, parsley side in, secure with toothpicks. Stand rolls up in 9x9x2 baking dish. Cover and bake at 425F for 10 minutes. Drain off juices, remove picks. Press a mushroom in each roll. Blend mustard into cornstarch, stir in cream. Cook over medium low heat until bubbly, add the shrimp and heat through.
Pour the sauce over the fish. Mix bread crumbs and butter and sprinkle over the fish rolls. Bake, uncovered 10-15 minutes. Serves 4

And this is my rendition of a recipe served to me in a restaurant on Grand Avenue in St Paul a couple of summers ago. They used Ivory Salmon which I cannot find, but any good quality salmon will be fine.

Salut Salmon

Parmesan-Crusted Halibut
========================
* Posted by: hoopysmom (My Page) on Wed, Mar 15, 06 at 23:42

This will be my first recipe post. Feels good to finally contribute something that is T&T. Hope your results are as good as mine!

Parmesan-Crusted Halibut

1/2 cup flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
2 cups Panko bread crumbs
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Zest of 1 lemon, chopped
4 6-oz halibut fillets, skin removed
3 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 400�F.
Place flour in one bowl, beat eggs and water place in 2nd bowl, combine Panko, Parmesan and lemon zest in 3rd bowl. Lightly salt and pepper the halibut fillets. Dredge the fillets in flour, next dip in egg and then coat with Panko mixture.

Heat olive oil in ovenproof pan (I used my LeCreuset). Saute the fillets in on medium-high until golden-brown crust forms. Turn fillets over and place pan in preheated oven. Roast until centers are pearly white and opaque.

Recipe from Ray�s Boathouse: Seafood Secrets of the Pacific Northwest, Ken Gouldthorpe.

I have a confession to make, I didn�t have a single egg in the house so I substituted real mayonnaise mixed with a bit of 1/2 & 1/2. It worked perfectly and imagine it changed the flavor just a little. My LeCreuset browned the crust to perfection and finishing the fish in the oven was the key. When I flipped, I could see there would be no way to get the top side done unless I covered the pan, which would have made the crust soggy. So thanks to Kframe and Ann, they saved my bacon, or fish, with their suggestion. Bottom line, heating my oven to 400 was worth it even tho it took less than 10 mins.

CATFISH A LA MEUNIERE

4 (6 oz.) catfish fillets
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Emeril's Essence
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tblsp. olive oil
1 stick, cubed, softened unsalted butter
1 Tblsp. minced shallots
2/3 cup chopped pecans
2 Tblsp. white wine
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 Tblsp. chopped fresh parsley leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.

Season the catfish fillets with the salt and Essence. Lightly dredge the seasoned catfish in the flour, shaking off any excess. Set a 10-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, place the fish fillets in the pan, 2 at a time and cook for 3 minutes per side. Place the cooked fillets on an ovenproof platter and place in the oven while you cook the remaining fillets.

Once the fish is cooked, return the skillet to the stovetop and set on medium heat. Add the butter to the pan and once melted, add the shallots and pecans. As the shallots cook, the nuts start to brown, and the butter stops foaming-about 30 seconds, add the white wine, lemon juice and parsley to the pan. Continue to cook for 15 to 20 seconds. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Remove the fish from the oven and pour the sauce over top the fish. Serve immediately.

Here, we use the term "shellfish" for crabs, clams, mussels, oysters, lobster, etc. I think shellfish is what Nancy didn't want included in this thread? I'm sure she'll be along to clarify.

PARMESAN FRIED FLOUNDER WITH TOMATO-BASIL BUTTER
=================================================
Posted by Ruthanna

My two favorite Italian entrees are with fish and I was trying to decide which to post but since they don�t taste similar, I�ll add the second one.
PARMESAN FRIED FLOUNDER WITH TOMATO-BASIL BUTTER
(serves 4)

TOMATO BASIL BUTTER

1 Tbs. olive oil
1-1/2 cups peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes (about 1 lb.)
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 2 cup sweet butter softened
2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1 2 tsp. salt
1 8 tsp. pepper
1 4 cup minced fresh basil

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet. Add the tomatoes and garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the tomatoes form a puree that will mound. Let cool. Put the butter in a mixing bowl and beat in the tomatoes and remaining ingredients. Can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated but best served at room temperature so that it will melt quickly over the fish.

FISH

1 2 cup flour
3 4 tsp. salt
1 2 tsp. pepper
3 4 cup dry bread crumbs
3 4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 4 cup butter
1 4 cup olive oil
1 pound flounder fillets
. Combine flour, salt & pepper in shallow bowl or pie tin. Mix the crumbs
and cheese in another bowl or pie tin. Have the eggs ready in a third
shallow dish. Since the fish needs to cook in a single layer, use one
very large skillet or 2 slightly smaller ones. Heat the butter and
olive oil in the skillet. Dip the fish in the seasoned flour and shake
off the excess. Then dip in the egg and let the excess drip off.
Finally coat completely with the Parmesan crumbs. Saute the fillets
over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side, pat off any excess oil
with paper towels and serve at once topped with Tomato-Basil butter.

Notes: Fish fillets can be breaded and refrigerated for a couple of
hours before cooking but bring to room temperature first. If you have
any leftover Tomato-Basil Butter, it�s good on cooked green beans or
grilled shrimp.

Broiled Mahi Mahi with Remoulade Glaze

Ingredients:
1 lb Mahi Mahi filet (Plan for about 1/3 lb per person.)
2 Tbsp Remoulade sauce (see below)

Preheat oven to 425 deg F on broil setting

Cut fish into serving portions by slicing through fish, but not through skin.

Place on baking pan and slather liberally with the remoulade sauce.

Place under broiler, cook for about 10 minutes. (If the top starts getting too brown, move to a lower rack in the oven)

------------------------

My Remoulade sauce recipe is adapted from a Mark Bittman recipe, it can be made well in advance and be stored in the refrigerator:

Remoulade Sauce
* 1 cup mayonnaise
* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
* 2 Tbsp chopped capers
* 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (or 1 Tbsp dried parsley)
* 1 tsp crushed garlic
* 1 pinch of dried tarragon
* 1 1/2 tsp Anchovy paste
* 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
* 1/4 teaspoon paprika (for color)

1 tsp. pickled ginger, minced
1/2 tsp. wasabi paste
1 Tbs. Lite soy sauce
1/4 tsp. toasted sesame oil
1/2 lb. fresh tuna steak, 3/4" thick

1 cup sushi rice, raw
2 cups water

4 large cucumbers

Tuna:
Mix first 4 ingredients in a metallic bowl. Add tuna and turn to coat tuna with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours, turning tuna occasionally. To cook tuna, preheat grill on high, oil the grill. Remove tuna from marinade place on grill, cook about 2 minutes. Turn tuna over and cook 1-2 minutes on this side. The goal is to have a rare piece of tuna with a good browning. Remove tuna from grill and chill.

Cucumber:
Peel cucumbers and hollow out the centers, removing the seeds so you have a cylinder.

Rice:
In a sauce pan, bring water to a boil; add rice, stir, cover and remove from heat. Don't open cover for 25 minutes. Cool rice.

Assembly:
Fill cucumber cylinders with sticky rice, packing rice tightly. Slice cucumber cylinders into 1/2" slices, arrange slices on serving platter.

With a very sharp, thin knife slice the tuna into thin slice. Arrange tuna slices on top of cucumbers. Serve. Makes about 24 hors d'oeurves.

I love the following recipe. I've made it a few times and posted it on WFD a while back.

Red Snapper en Papillote
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown

Ingredients
1 cup couscous
1 (2-pound) whole red snapper, cleaned, head on
2 teaspoons salt, plus pinch for couscous
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch fresh oregano
1 small bunch fresh parsley
1 whole lemon, thinly sliced
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 cup drained and quartered artichoke hearts
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Rinse couscous in fine mesh strainer, under cold water, lay out on parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with pinch of salt. Set aside. Cut parchment paper into 15 by 48-inch sheet. Fold in 1/2 and lay on baking/cookie sheet. Unfold and lay snapper diagonally on sheet pan on top of 1 layer of parchment. Salt and pepper fish, inside and out. Place herbs inside cavity of fish along with 1/2 of lemon, and 1/2 of red onion. Arrange couscous next to fish on all sides. Put garlic, and remaining lemon and red onion on fish and lay tomatoes and artichoke hearts around outside of couscous, creating somewhat of a wall. Pour wine over fish and dot with butter. Fold over edges of parchment paper, stapling if necessary, to create and almost airtight seal. Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Carefully open and serve (be aware of bones in the fish).

And I used panko for the dried bread crumbs.

Thank you Anne and Ruthanna!

I don't typically eat fish, but I am interested in recipes, since I occasionally prepare it for the family.

Mediterranean Tuna Casserole

Recipe By : Cooking Enthusiast Catalog
Serving Size : 4

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 ounces egg noodles -- cooked al dente
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 red pepper -- diced
1 clove garlic -- peeled and minced
4 ounces baby portobella mushrooms -- sliced
1 7 oz can artichoke hearts -- drained and chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 4 oz cans bonito del norte tuna -- drained
3/4 cup parmesan cheese -- shredded
3 scallions -- thinly sliced
1/2 cup crispy onions
1/4 cup Italian style panko breadcrumbs

Melt butter in large saucepot over medium heat.

Add red peppers and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant.

Add mushrooms and cook until soft, about 4-6 minutes.

Stir in artichoke hearts and flour. Cook for 2 minutes.

Stir in milk and heavy cream and cook until sauce thickens enough to coat the

back of the spoon, about 12-15 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.

In large bowl, combine the egg noodles, tuna, scallions, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and sauce mixture.

Grease a 10" round casserole, add noodle mixture and top with crispy onions, remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.

Bake in a 400* oven for 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.

MY NOTES : I probably used closer to 8 oz of baby portobellas and I used regular panko crumbs. I used the canned French's onion rings (Cooking Enthusiast sells their "crispy onions" but I've never bought them). The French's onion rings were starting to burn after 15 minutes so don't top with them until the last 8 to 10 minutes or leave them off. I do buy my tuna fish from Cooking Enthusiast -- it's packed in olive oil and wonderful but I am sure regular tuna fish packed in olive oil will work fine, too.

----------------------------
This is a Marcella Hazan recipe which is one of our favorites:
Pasta with Tuna and Tomato Sauce

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic -- finely chopped
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes
6 ounces Italian tuna fish in olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons fresh parsley -- chopped
salt and pepper
8 ounces penne pasta (boiled for about 10 minutes)
Saute the garlic in the olive oil until it turns pale gold. Add the canned tomatoes with their juice, stir, and simmer steadily for around 20 minutes.
Drain the tuna and flake it into the tomatoes, stirring to distribute it evenly. No need to cook it - just warm it through. Taste for seasoning and correct for salt if necessary. Add a little freshly ground black pepper, the butter and the parsley, and mix again.
Toss with the pasta in the skillet. Makes 2 servings.

(My only change is the diced tomatoes -- I buy them with garlic, basil and oregano already added. Also, DH is a big eater but this serves 3 not 2)

Two version: the restaurant original, and my variation.

Grilled Tuna Steaks (source: Martha Stewart.com)

Look for moist, translucent tuna that's shiny pink or red; avoid fish with any hint of browning.
Martha Stewart Living, July 2004

Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

4 one-inch-thick tuna steaks, (about 4 ounces each)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
6 anchovy fillets, cut into thirds
1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh basil

Directions

Preheat a ridged stovetop grill pan or outdoor grill. Season tuna with salt and pepper. Brush grill pan or grill with oil. Grill tuna until well browned but still rare, about 2 minutes per side; the flesh will be firm and tight. For medium rare, cook 1 minute more, until the flesh begins to pull apart. For medium, cook 2 minutes more, until the flesh flakes apart.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine lemon zest and juice, anchovies, oil, and garlic. Bring to boil over medium heat, remove from heat, and stir in oregano and basil. Serve immediately with sauce spooned over tuna.

4 - 6 trout
4 oz. butter
1/3 c. slivered almonds
juice of 2 lemons

1 T. minced parsley

Saute trout in butter; remove.
Add almonds until golden.
Add remaining ingredients & heat.
Serve over trout.

I drew Jessyf from the hat and sent an email. She got back to me right away and picked mangos.
