Delicious Roasted White Fish Wrapped In Smoked Bacon With Lemon Mayonnaise And Asparagus Recipes

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED WHITEFISH

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high (if using a charcoal grill, the coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 2 seconds). Brush 2 large fish-grilling baskets with oil. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal slits (in serving-size portions) along both sides of fish. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Reserve 6 to 8 lemon rounds and a few sprigs of thyme; place remaining lemon rounds and thyme inside fish cavities.
• On a large cutting board, lay 2 bacon slices end to end, slightly overlapping; repeat with 6 more slices, laying pairs parallel to one another, 1 inch apart. Center 1 bacon slice at top and bottom, 1 inch apart from and parallel to overlapping slices. Lay fish over bacon, placing head and tail on single slices. Wrap fish in bacon, and secure with toothpicks. Tuck a few reserved thyme sprigs under bacon. Place fish in basket. Repeat with remaining fish, bacon, and thyme.
• Grill fish, covered, turning once, until opaque throughout, about 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter. Grill reserved lemon rounds until lightly charred. Garnish fish with thyme, grilled lemon slices, and lemon pieces.

MAYONNAISE BAKED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place fish, in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
• In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, butter, onion, cheese, lemon juice, Old Bay, and pepper. Mix until a thick paste is formed.
• Spread mixture evenly over fish filets, then top with bread crumbs.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, or until fish is flaky.
• To finish cooking, place fish under the broiler, for another 2-3 minutes, or until fish is golden brown.

MUSTARD-ROASTED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. (You can also use an ovenproof baking dish.) Place the fish fillets skin side down on the sheet pan. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Combine the creme fraiche, 2 mustards, shallots, capers, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Spoon the sauce evenly over the fish fillets, making sure the fish is completely covered. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it's barely done. (The fish will flake easily at the thickest part when it's done.) Be sure not to overcook it! Serve hot or at room temperature with the sauce from the pan spooned over the top.

ONE-PAN FISH WITH BACON AND SWEET CORN

Steps:

• Lightly season both sides of the fish fillets with salt. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup parsley with the red-pepper flakes, garlic and thyme. Zest the lemon into the bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer the fish to the bowl and turn to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. (The fish can be covered tightly and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.) Cut the zested lemon into 8 wedges and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until crispy, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bacon drippings in the skillet. Lay the marinated fish fillets in an even layer (skin-side down if your fillets are skin-on) and cover fish with any leftover marinade from the bowl. Cook until the fish is firm, opaque and flakes easily when poked with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a serving platter; keep the skillet on the stove.
• Lower the heat to medium, and add the shallots and reserved bacon. Cook, stirring, until the shallots soften, about 2 minutes. Add the corn, stir and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and squeeze in the juice from 3 lemon wedges. Add the remaining 1/4 cup chopped parsley, stir and spoon over the fish. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing.

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.

EASY BAKED WHITEFISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cover baking sheet with foil and coat with light cooking spray.
• Using a knife, spread 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise onto each fish fillet.
• Sprinkle each fillet lightly with parmesan cheese.
• Sprinkle each fillet with lemon pepper.
• Sprinkle each fillet lightly with breadcrumbs.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

CAESAR-ROASTED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (Be sure your oven is very clean.) Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• For the Caesar sauce, place the garlic, parsley, anchovy paste, and mustard in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the garlic is minced. Add the mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and pulse to make a smooth sauce.
• Place the fish on the pan and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Set aside one third of the sauce to serve with the cooked fish. Spread the fish on one side with half the remaining sauce, turn the fish, and spread the remaining sauce on the second side. Sprinkle with the scallions and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
• Roast the fish for 10 to 12 minutes, until the center is just barely cooked. Cover the fish with aluminum foil and allow to rest on the pan for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small saute pan until very hot, add the capers, and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, until they start to pop and are a little crisp. Serve the fish hot with the lemon wedges, frizzled capers, and the reserved Caesar sauce.
