Categories     Dinner

Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 fish fillets (six ounces each, skinless, approximately one inch thick)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon creole seasoning (I like Zatarain's)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the pecans in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Do not over-process or you will end up with pecan meal or pecan butter.
  • Add the finely chopped pecans and the panko crumbs to a shallow dish or pie plate and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Add the mayonnaise and creole seasoning to a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Evenly spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture on all sides of the fillets.
  • Dredge each fillet in the nut mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
  • Heat a large, 12-inch, non-stick oven-proof or cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the fillets and cook for three minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook three minutes on the other side.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and let the fish finish cooking. This should take about five minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve immediately.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER



Pan-Roasted Fish Fillets With Herb Butter image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 5- to 6-ounce fish fillets, like black bass, haddock, fluke, striped bass, tilefish, snapper or salmon, 1/2- to 1-inch thick
Salt and ground black pepper
3 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme, tarragon, chives or another herb
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional
Lemon wedges

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.

Tips:

  • Select the Freshest Haddock: Opt for fresh, firm haddock fillets with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Look for fillets with a pearly sheen and no signs of discoloration or off-odors.
  • Control the Frying Temperature: To achieve a crispy pecan crust while preventing the fish from overcooking, maintain the oil temperature between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C).
  • Coat the Haddock Evenly: Ensure that each haddock fillet is evenly coated in the pecan mixture before frying. This will result in a uniform, golden-brown crust.
  • Monitor the Frying Time: Depending on the thickness of the fillets, adjust the frying time to achieve perfectly cooked fish. Thinner fillets may require around 3-4 minutes per side, while thicker fillets may need 5-6 minutes per side.
  • Drain Excess Oil: After frying, place the cooked haddock fillets on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. This step helps create a crispy crust.
  • Serve Immediately: Pecan-crusted haddock is best enjoyed hot and crispy. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

Pecan-crusted haddock is an exquisite dish that combines the delicate flavor of haddock with the nutty crunch of pecans. By following these tips and the detailed recipe instructions, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own kitchen. This dish is perfect for special occasions or as a delightful weeknight dinner.
