BAKED TILAPIA WITH FISH SCALE POTATOES



Baked Tilapia with Fish Scale Potatoes image

I learned this technique at Cordon Bleu, many years ago. It has wonderful presentation, and tastes excellent. It would be brilliant to serve at a nice holiday dinner party, and to be truthful, any type of fish filet will do quite nicely. The original technique for this recipe was a bit difficult to master, so I simplified it...

Categories     Fish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 large russet potato
3 Tbsp sweet butter, unsalted
2 Tbsp flour, all-purpose variety
1 large filet, tilapia or other firm white fish
1 large egg yolk, whipped with a teaspoon of water
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
dill, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your ingredients.
  • 3. Thinly slice the potatoes.
  • 4. Chef's Tip: For consistency, I strongly recommend using a mandoline slicer.
  • 5. Use a small round cutter to make 3/4 inch (2 cm) disks.
  • 6. Add the butter to a small skillet, over medium heat.
  • 7. When the foaming subsides, add the potato rounds.
  • 8. Chef's Note: Cook until the rounds begin to soften, but before they begin to brown, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • 9. Remove the rounds from the skillet, and lightly dust one side with flour.
  • 10. Chef's Note: Reserve the leftover butter in the skillet.
  • 11. Lightly score the filet, at 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) intervals.
  • 12. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
  • 13. Place the filet on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 14. Brush the filet with the egg wash, and then season with salt and pepper.
  • 15. Arrange the potato rounds (flour side down) on top of the filet, overlapping them to resemble the scales on a fish.
  • 16. Use the remainder of the butter from the skillet, to lightly brush over the tops of the potato rounds, and then season with a bit more salt & pepper.
  • 17. Place into the oven, and bake until the fish is cooked and flakey, about 20 minutes.
  • 18. Finish by placing under the broiler until the potato rounds begin to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • 19. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 20. My favorite way to plate this is to put some sauce on the bottom of a plain white dish, and then carefully lay the fish on top. Enjoy.
  • 21. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tilapia. Fresh tilapia is the best choice, and it should be firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid tilapia that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Season the tilapia well. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well before baking. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, or try a more flavorful seasoning blend, such as Cajun seasoning or lemon pepper.
  • Cook the tilapia until it is flaky. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Bake the fish at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until it is flaky and cooked through.
  • Serve the tilapia with a variety of sides. Tilapia is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, vegetables, or salad. You can also top the tilapia with a flavorful sauce, such as a lemon butter sauce or a salsa verde.
  • Use a combination of herbs and spices to season the fish scale potatoes. This will give them a delicious flavor that complements the tilapia.
  • Bake the fish scale potatoes until they are crispy. This will give them a nice texture and make them a great side dish for the tilapia.

Conclusion:

Baked tilapia with fish scale potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tilapia is flaky and flavorful, and the fish scale potatoes are crispy and addictive. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
