Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Two 14-ounce cans cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced in half
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 tablespoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce haddock fillets, skin removed
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices crusty bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the cherry tomatoes, white wine, olives, 3 of the garlic cloves, capers, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and season the flesh side with the Italian seasoning, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Nestle the fillets into the sauce in the baking dish. Bake until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and the fillets are cooked through and easily flaked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 garlic clove with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Brush both sides of each slice of bread with the oil mixture and place onto a baking sheet. Bake until the bread is toasted, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Serve the fish on plates with the sauce and bread on the side.

MEDITERRANEAN FISH CHOWDER WITH POTATOES AND KALE



Mediterranean Fish Chowder With Potatoes and Kale image

This brothy fish stew gets extra body and heft from the kale and potatoes, and a hint of the Mediterranean from thyme, parsley and bay leaf. The method is straightforward. First make a mirepoix of onion, celery and carrot. Add garlic, anchovies and parsley, followed by the tomatoes and paste, and finally the potatoes and bouquet garni. Simmer for 30 minutes while the kale is cooked separately, then add the fish. Take care not to overcook the fish - it's done as soon as it flakes easily when you nudge it with a fork.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
Salt to taste
2 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
4 anchovy fillets, soaked in water for 4 minutes, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with liquid
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 quart water
1 pound fingerling or Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and sliced
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a strip of orange zest, a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, and a dried red chili if desired, tied together with a string
Generous pinch of saffron (optional)
Freshly ground pepper
1 bunch (10 to 12 ounces) black kale, stemmed and washed thoroughly in 2 changes of water
1 1/2 pounds firm, white-fleshed fish, like halibut, tilapia, Pacific cod or black cod, cut in 2- or 3-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the onion, celery and carrot. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  • Add a generous pinch of salt and stir in the garlic, anchovies and chopped parsley. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is very fragrant, another minute or two, and add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a bit and the mixture smells aromatic, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the water, potatoes, salt to taste and the bouquet garni, and bring to a simmer. Add the saffron, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Remove the bouquet garni.
  • While the soup is simmering, bring a medium pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add the kale. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still colorful. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely and set aside.
  • Shortly before serving, season the fish with salt and pepper and stir into the soup, along with the kale. The soup should not be boiling vigorously. Simmer 5 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets), or just until the fish flakes easily when poked. Remove from the heat, taste once more and adjust seasonings, and serve.

6 plum tomatoes, chopped
3/4 cup roughly chopped Calamata olives
3 to 4 green onions (scallions), sliced
1 TBS of a pure, fruity olive oil (I love Bertoli's virgin)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Spray a glass baking dish with Pam and lay fish fillets in the dish. Combine chopped tomatoes, olives, scallions, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix. Let flavors blend for about 10 minutes. Spoon tomato mixture generously over the fish and bake, covered, in a 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes (depending on thickness of fillets) or until fish flakes easily but isn't dried out. While fish is baking, wash a generous bunch of fresh kale, remove any woody stems from end and chop. Steam for about 10 minutes, or until just wilted. Toss lightly with Smart Balance margarine, salt and pepper. Serve fish fillets on top of a bed of kale, spooning pan juices over all.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Fish: Opt for fresh haddock fillets that are firm to the touch, have a mild, sweet aroma, and lack any signs of discoloration.
  • Proper Thawing: If using frozen fillets, thaw them gradually in the refrigerator overnight or place them in a sealed bag and submerge in cold water for about 30 minutes.
  • Seasoning and Marinating: Enhance the flavors of the haddock fillets by seasoning them with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. A simple marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs can also add extra depth of flavor.
  • Cooking Methods: Haddock can be cooked using various methods, including baking, pan-frying, or grilling. For this recipe, pan-frying is recommended to achieve a crispy exterior and tender, flaky interior.
  • Temperature Control: It's crucial to cook the haddock fillets over medium heat to ensure even cooking without overcooking. Overcooked fish can become dry and tough.
  • Crispy Skin: To achieve crispy skin on the fillets, pat them dry before cooking and avoid moving them around too much in the pan. Allow them to sear undisturbed for a few minutes until golden brown.
  • Sauce and Toppings: The Mediterranean-inspired sauce adds a flavorful twist to the dish. You can customize the sauce by adjusting the amount of garlic, lemon juice, and herbs to suit your taste preferences. Top the cooked fillets with toasted pine nuts, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a vibrant presentation.
