Salt and pepper
1 1/2 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sweet paprika
10 garlic cloves, minced
15 basil leaves, sliced into ribbons

Steps:

Pat fish fillet dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the fish in a large zip-top bag. Add the oregano, coriander, paprika, minced garlic, basil, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Zip the bag shut and massage to be sure the fish is evenly coated in the marinade. Marinated for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour in the fridge (see notes).

Arrange bell peppers and shallots in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Place the fish on top and pour the marinade over it.

PAN-SEARED TILEFISH WITH GARLIC, HERBS AND LEMON

Pan-Seared Tilefish With Garlic, Herbs and Lemon image

All cooks needs a basic sautéed fish fillet recipe in their repertory, and this one could not be much simpler. It does require a step that may intimidate on first glance: you baste the fish with the fat you're cooking it in. Don't worry. Just use a good amount of fat in the pan, about a tablespoon per person (you could get away with a little less if you insist, or use half white wine and half fat). Basting helps cook the fish evenly and keeps it and moist. In this recipe, the fat is butter. As the fish cooks, the butter browns, taking on a nutty scent that is classic with seafood. Tilefish is specified but any firm fillet will do, from sea bass to grouper.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 skinless tilefish or other sturdy, thick white fish fillets (about 7 to 8 ounces each), skins removed
Kosher salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 green garlic shoots or scallions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped chives, mint, lovage and/or sorrel
1 tablespoon minced lemon thyme or regular leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped tarragon, basil or marjoram
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

Remove any remaining pin bones in the fish, pat dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Once butter has begun to foam, lay fish in pan. Add green garlic or scallions and a pinch of salt. Without disturbing the fish, tilt the pan toward you; using a spoon, ladle green garlic butter over fish. Continue basting fish for 2 to 3 minutes.
Using a spatula, gently flip fish. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook for 2 minutes.
Uncover pan, add herbs and continue basting fish with butter until it is just cooked through, another minute or two longer.
Transfer fish to a serving platter or individual plates, pour pan sauce over the top, and pour lemon juice over everything. Season with more salt and black pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Tips:

To ensure even cooking, choose fish fillets of uniform thickness.
For a crispy crust, pat the fillets dry before cooking.
Use a large skillet to prevent overcrowding and ensure the fillets cook evenly.
Do not move the fillets around too much in the skillet, as this can break them up.
When using frozen fish fillets, thaw them completely before cooking.
Season the fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking.
For added flavor, try marinating the fillets in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices before cooking.
Serve the fish fillets immediately with your favorite sides.
