PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER



Pan-Roasted Fish Fillets With Herb Butter image

A blast of heat in a cast-iron pan and a basting of golden butter does wonders for plain fish fillets. This life-changing method is adopted from a former chef and current fishmonger, Mark Usewicz of Mermaid's Garden in Brooklyn, who also teaches cooking classes in topics like "How to Cook Fish in a New York City Apartment." The cooking time is so short that the smell - which, if your fish is fresh and not funky, should not be overpowering - will dissipate quickly. And in the meantime, you have an easy dinner of tender fish with a toothsome crust, anointed with nutty, lemony brown butter and perfumed with herbs. You can use virtually any fish fillet, skin on or off, as long as it is not too thick. If the butter is browning too fast, reduce the heat and add a nut of cold butter to prevent scorching, or squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 5- to 6-ounce fish fillets, like black bass, haddock, fluke, striped bass, tilefish, snapper or salmon, 1/2- to 1-inch thick
Salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme, tarragon, chives or another herb
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
  • Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

ROASTED FISH WITH LEMON, SESAME AND HERB BREADCRUMBS



Roasted Fish With Lemon, Sesame and Herb Breadcrumbs image

Trout is an ideal weeknight dinner because its thin fillets cook in minutes. All it really needs is some butter and lemon, but an herb-panko mixture adds freshness and crunch. The breadcrumb mixture is inspired by za'atar, a spice blend that includes sesame seeds, dried herbs and tart-citrusy sumac. Using fresh thyme and oregano instead of dried herbs, and lemon zest in place of dried sumac yields a brighter final dish. If you want to use dried za'atar, swap in 3 tablespoons of the blend for the first four ingredients. Serve the fish alongside rice, a green salad, boiled potatoes or braised chickpeas. The fish roasts in about the same time as string beans, broccolini or snap peas would, so you can also roast vegetables on a second baking sheet while the fish cooks.

Categories     dinner, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons lemon zest, lemon cut into wedges for serving
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup panko bread crumbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 (4 to 6-ounce) trout fillets or 2 whole butterflied trout

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Rub the mixture between your fingers until the herbs are bruised and fragrant. Stir in the bread crumbs and butter until combined.
  • Season the trout with salt and pepper and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Spoon the bread crumbs evenly over the fish and bake until the fish is opaque and the bread crumbs are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.

SLOW-BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND THYME



Slow-Baked Salmon with Lemon and Thyme image

Baking salmon in a low-temperature oven slowly melts the fat between the flesh and leaves the fillets incredibly moist and tender. Lemon and thyme, a classic Mediterranean combination, add another layer of flavor without sacrificing this dish's elegant simplicity.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 6-to 8-ounces boneless salmon fillets, skin on
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet. Mix remaining oil, thyme, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Spread thyme mixture over salmon fillets, dividing equally. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Bake salmon until just opaque in center, 15-18 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish fillets: For this recipe, firm-fleshed fish fillets such as cod, halibut, or salmon work best. They can withstand the heat of the pan without falling apart.
  • Season the fish fillets generously: Season the fish fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking. This will help enhance their flavor.
  • Use a non-stick pan: A non-stick pan will help prevent the fish fillets from sticking to the pan and breaking apart.
  • Cook the fish fillets over medium heat: Cooking the fish fillets over medium heat will help to cook them evenly without overcooking them.
  • Flip the fish fillets only once: Flipping the fish fillets only once will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Serve the fish fillets immediately: Serve the fish fillets immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Pan-roasted fish fillets with lemon and thyme is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is both delicious and healthy. The fish fillets are cooked in a flavorful combination of butter, lemon, and thyme, and they can be served with a variety of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. This recipe is a great way to enjoy fresh, healthy fish in a simple and delicious way.
