PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER
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.

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.

HERB-ROASTED FISH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the fish fillet on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the top of the fillet. Lay the thyme on top and place the olives next to the fillet.
- Beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of water for an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edge of the parchment paper and fold it in half. Carefully fold the edge of the parchment paper under and around the fish to make a package. Place the package on a sheet pan and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Serve hot in the parchment paper.
ROASTED FISH WITH LEMON, SESAME AND HERB BREADCRUMBS
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.

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.
ROASTED FISH WITH LIGHT HERB SAUCE
An easy sauce with the flavors of Provence makes fish fillets into a meal worthy of company. I like to add steamed rice and sautéed spinach to complete the plate. The recipe works with many types of fish such as cod, flounder, sole, trout, tilapia or catfish. -Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

EAST LIGHTENS OSSO BUCO OVEN ROASTED MONK FISH 'OSSO BUCO' WITH HERB WHIPPED POTATOES
Steps:
- In a non-reactive saucepan coated with olive oil, saute the onion, celery, and carrots and garlic until caramelized. Add tomato paste and cook for 3 minutes. Deglaze with white wine, and reduce the liquid by half. Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, soy sauce, lemon grass, orange juice, and chicken stock. Reduce by a third, and check for seasoning. Strain the sauce and set aside. Season the monkfish with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Sear the fish over high heat in olive oil, using a pan large enough that the fish is not overcrowded. The fish is just cooked long enough to evenly brown the outside, about 2 minutes on each side. Pour off as much oil as possible. Deglaze with the vinegars. Add the reserved sauce, using just enough to cover the fish half way. Add the Mushrooms and cover. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven until the fish is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and add the butter and lemon juice. Check again for seasoning.
- For the potatoes: Place the potatoes and garlic in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, and add enough salt to flavor the water. Boil for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Strain potatoes and place in a mixer fitted with wire whip. Whip at low speed, incorporating butter slowly. Increase the speed to lighten the potatoes and increase their volume. Check for seasoning, and set aside. Right before serving, mix the chopped herbs into the potatoes.
- To make a gremolata, combine the parsley, garlic and lemon zest. Set aside, and reserve for plating.
- For the mushrooms: Saute mushrooms with garlic and ginger in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat, until caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add sauteed mushrooms from below to the sauce. Check for seasoning.
- Plating: Place a serving of potatoes in the middle of a large bowl. Place the fish on top of the potatoes, and spoon the sauce and mushrooms around it. Garnish with gremolata.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Fish: Select a firm-fleshed fish that can withstand roasting, such as salmon, cod, or halibut.
- Fresh Herbs: Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
- Generous Seasoning: Don't be afraid to season the fish generously. This will help to enhance its natural flavor.
- Roast at High Temperature: Roast the fish at a high temperature to create a crispy crust and tender interior.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the fish while it's roasting to prevent overcooking. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
