HADDOCK MARGARITA WITH PAN ROASTED POTATOES
Steps:
- For the fish: Dredge the fish on both sides in the flour. Then, beat the eggs in a bowl using a fork or whisk. Take a saute pan and coat the bottom of the pan with the olive oil, so it is fully covered. Then turn the heat on medium, being careful to not let the oil burn. Splash in a speck of the egg batter to see if the oil is hot enough; the egg will puff up when the oil is ready. At this point, dip the dredged fish into the beaten egg, making sure to cover both sides well, and then place in the saute pan with the hot oil. Let the fish cook on each side until golden brown; be careful not to burn fish in the hot oil. Also, please note that the fish is very tender and breaks easily, so use caution when flipping the fish with a metal spatula or tongs.
- For the margarita sauce: In another saute pan, add half of the butter, the chicken stock, the wine, pinch of salt and pepper, and squeeze in three-quarters of the fresh lemon. Make sure to save a few lemon wheels for garnish and set aside. Simmer the sauce for several minutes on medium heat, and then add the cooked fish to the sauce and let that simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes more. This is to infuse the sauce flavor with the egg-battered fish.
- For the potatoes: Take the potatoes and cut into cubes. Par-cook them by boiling them in a small pot of water until they begin to soften, but still retain some firmness. In another saute pan over medium-low heat, coat the bottom of the pan with the olive oil and add the butter. Once the butter and olive oil have joined together, add the potatoes to the mixture and turn the heat to medium-high. Next, add the paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Stir the potatoes so that they are all coated evenly with the mixture. Taste one of the potatoes to know when they are finished cooking (they should be slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside). Place the cooked potatoes in a bowl and strain any excess oil from the potatoes. Garnish the potatoes with the parsley and finish with a pinch of table salt.
- Plate the fish from the margarita sauce, then pour just a bit of the sauce over the fish to highlight the bottom of the plate surrounding the fish. Pour the remaining sauce into a small cup for dipping the fish and/or potatoes. Garnish the top of the fish pieces with 2 thinly sliced lemon wheels and a parsley sprig.

My wife, Alden, is a big fan of fish prepared this way. It's a perfect method for grilling fragile fillets, and with the vegetables you've got an all-in-one meal!

Steps:
- Heat grill to medium. In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, Italian seasoning, red-pepper flakes, anise seed, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and teaspoon pepper. Set spice mixture aside.
- Place four 14-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a work surface. Dividing evenly, place onion on one half of each square (leaving a 2-inch border), followed by the zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Top with fish; sprinkle with spice mixture. Top with tomato; drizzle with oil. Fold foil over ingredients; crimp edges to seal.
- Place packets on grill. Cover and grill until fish is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove packets from grill; open carefully (hot steam will escape), and transfer fish Provencal to serving plates.

LEMON HERB FISH DE PROVENCE
Created this recipe myself. I will usually use either pollack, haddock, swai, or tilapia. I suppose this would be good on trout but have never tried it. Herbs de Provence is an herb blend found in most grocery stores. Look in the baking aisle under Spice Hunters.

Tips:
- Use fresh, thick fillets of haddock or any other firm-fleshed white fish for the best flavor and texture.
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture and prevent the fish from steaming.

- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
- Sear the fish fillets in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the fish fillets from the skillet and set aside. Keep warm.
- Add the chopped shallots and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, and olives to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the white wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Return the fish fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
- Serve immediately with rice, roasted potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
