These flaky fish fillets from Pix Stidham of Exeter, California get plenty of fresh flavor from onions and tomato, plus a little zip from cayenne pepper. "This recipe is particular favorite of my family's" Pix notes. "The fish doesn't get dry...it's moist and delicious."

Use any sustainable white fish or salmon in this easy, flavour-packed stew - perfect with crusty bread

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
2 garlic cloves , finely chopped
zest and juice 1 lemon
3 tbsp olive oil , plus extra to serve
1 medium onion , finely sliced
500g floury potato , cut into small chunks, no larger than 2cm cubes
1 tsp paprika
pinch cayenne pepper
400g can chopped tomato
1 fish stock cube
200g raw peeled king prawn
½ a 410g/14oz can chickpeas , rinsed and drained
500g skinless fish fillets, cut into very large chunks

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix the parsley with ½ the garlic and lemon zest, then set aside. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan. Throw in the onion and potatoes, cover the pan, then sweat everything for about 5 mins until the onion has softened. Add the remaining oil, garlic and spices, then cook for 2 mins more.
  • Pour over the lemon juice and sizzle for a moment. Add the tomatoes, ½ a can of water and crumble in the stock. Season with a little salt, then cover the pan. Simmer everything for 15-20 mins until the potatoes are just cooked.
  • Stir through the prawns and chickpeas, then nestle the fish chunks into the top of the stew. Reduce the heat and recover the pan, then cook for about 8 mins, stirring very gently once or twice. When the fish is just cooked through, remove from the heat, scatter with the parsley mix, then bring the dish to the table with the bottle of olive oil for drizzling over and some crusty bread, if you want.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia work best for this recipe. Avoid delicate fish like sole or flounder, as they may fall apart during cooking.
  • Prepare the fish properly: Make sure to clean and dry the fish thoroughly before cooking. If using a whole fish, remove the head, tail, and fins. Cut the fish into serving-sized pieces.
  • Use parchment paper of good quality: Make sure the parchment paper is long enough to wrap around the fish and vegetables completely. You can also use aluminum foil, but parchment paper is a better choice as it allows the fish to steam and cook evenly.
  • Seal the packet tightly: To prevent the juices from escaping, it is important to seal the packet tightly. Fold the parchment paper or aluminum foil over the fish and vegetables several times and crimp the edges to seal.
  • Cook the fish at the right temperature: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. For a 1-inch thick fillet, cook for 15-20 minutes. For a thicker fillet, cook for 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the fish rest before serving: Once the fish is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the fish to finish cooking.

Conclusion:

Spanish Fish in a Sack is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy option, as the fish is steamed and not fried. By following these tips, you can make sure your Spanish Fish in a Sack turns out perfect every time.
