FLUKE AU GRATIN



Fluke au Gratin image

This is a very old recipe, taken from the kitchen of Henri's in Lynbrook, N.Y., opened by an extravagant French restaurateur named Henri Charpentier in 1910. It asks for flounder, known on Long Island as fluke, but you could make it with cod or haddock or halibut, with freshwater trout or catfish, with any mild-flavored fish. It's an elegant and really quite simple preparation, the fish fillets baked on top of and beneath a butter sauce cooked with chopped shallots, garlic, chives, parsley and minced mushrooms, brightened with lemon juice and white wine, and with bread crumbs, sliced mushrooms and dots of butter strewn across the top. You can make the sauce in the morning, if you like, and assemble the dish for the oven just before dinner, making it a breeze for weeknight entertaining. But it's no stretch to do it all, as Charpentier might have said, "à la minute."

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
1 small shallot, peeled and minced
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons minced button mushrooms, plus 1/2 cup thinly sliced button mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced chives
1 tablespoon minced parsley, plus 1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley for garnish
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 to 1 1/2 pounds fluke, flounder, sole or other mild, white-fleshed fish fillets
1/3 cup dried bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. When it foams, add the shallot, garlic, minced mushrooms, chives and parsley; stir to combine. Sauté until the garlic starts to toast and turn golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup of the wine, the vinegar and lemon juice. Let cook until the liquid is reduced by half, stirring frequently, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Butter a casserole or baking dish large enough to accommodate the fillets of fish in one even layer, and spoon half the sautéed mushroom mixture into it. Arrange the fillets on top, season them with salt and pepper, and cover with the sliced mushrooms.
  • Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons of wine into the sautéed mushroom mixture, and drizzle it evenly over the sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small pieces, and dot over the top.
  • Roast until the top is golden and the fish is opaque and flaky, about 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish with remaining parsley.

GRATIN OF FLOUNDER

Provided by Craig Claiborne

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 skinless, boneless fillets of flounder or gray sole
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped, or use 1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
4 onions, about 2 pounds total weight
4 large zucchini, about 1 1/2 pounds
4 tomatoes, about 2 3/4 pounds total weight, ends trimmed and cores removed
2 tablespoons butter
9 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons finely minced garlic
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Place each fillet on a flat surface, one at a time. Cut lengthwise on both sides of the small bone line down the center. Discard the bone line. Sprinkle the fillet halves with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with basil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Let stand 1 hour.
  • Cut the onions in half crosswise. Place each onion half on a flat surface and cut each crosswise into thin slices. There should be about 9 cups.
  • Trim off the ends of the zucchini. Cut each zucchini crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. There should be about 5 cups.
  • Cut the tomatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. There should be about 5 cups.
  • Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil and the butter in a large heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring, about 10 minutes and add 6 sprigs of the fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, the garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and scraping from the bottom, about 5 minutes longer or until the onions take on a deep golden color.
  • Select an oval baking dish measuring about 13 by 9 by 2 inches. Spread the onions over the bottom, smoothing over the top. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Arrange the fillet halves neatly on top of the onions, edges slightly overlapping.
  • Neatly arrange overlapping rows of tomato and zucchini slices over the fish.
  • If fresh thyme is used, remove the leaves from the remaining sprigs and sprinkle the top of the vegetables with the leaves. If dried thyme is used, sprinkle what remains over the vegetables. Sprinkle salt and pepper over all. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Cover closely and tightly with aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil and return to the oven. Bake 30 minutes longer.
  • Carefully pour the liquid that accumulates in the dish into a saucepan, trying not to disturb the pattern of the vegetables. Place the saucepan on the stove and cook until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
  • Brush the top of the tomatoes and zucchini with the reduced sauce. Pour over any remaining sauce.
  • Place the dish under the broiler and glaze the top about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

QUICK STEAMED FLOUNDER WITH GINGER-GARLIC MUSTARD GREENS



Quick Steamed Flounder With Ginger-Garlic Mustard Greens image

This recipe, inspired by a Chinatown dinner, puts the bold tastes of sesame oil, ginger and soy sauce front and center. Here, a steamed piece of flounder sits on a bed of mustard greens, limp, tender and infused with garlic. The greens take the place of choy sum, a relative of bok cho, and give the dish a slightly mustardy flavor. It's a quick, healthy weeknight dinner packed with flavor. Try it tonight.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, more for drizzling
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1-inch-thick slice peeled fresh ginger root, minced
2 small bunches mustard greens, cleaned, stemmed and torn into pieces
1 tablespoon soy sauce, more for drizzling
2 flounder fillets, 12 ounces each
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oils in a very large skillet. Add garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add mustard greens, soy sauce and 3 tablespoons water, and sauté until greens start to wilt, 2 minutes longer.
  • Spread greens out in pan. Season flounder with salt and pepper, and place on top of greens. Cover pan, reduce heat to medium, and let fish steam until just cooked through, about 6 minutes. If pan dries out before fish is cooked through, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time.
  • Uncover pan and transfer fish to serving plates. If greens seem wet, turn heat to high to cook off excess moisture. Serve greens on top of fish, drizzled with a little more sesame oil and soy sauce, if desired.
