Fish Fromage Recipes

CLASSIC FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Place all ingredients, except for the breadcrumbs, in a large bowl and mash until thoroughly combined.Form the mixture into 8 equal patties and roll them in the panko breadcrumbs. (You can make smaller patties if you prefer.) Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes or until they've firmed up.
• Heat some oil in a non-stick pan and fry the patties on each side for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
• Serve immediately with our BEST homemade tartar sauce!

20 MINUTE FISH CONGEE

Steps:

• Wash the rice 1-2 times, mixing it in the water with your hands before discarding the starchy water. Submerge and soak the rice for 30 minutes.
• Drain and transfer to a resealable bag or other freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 8 hours.
• In a medium bowl, marinate the fish with salt, white pepper, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, and ginger. Use your hands to toss the fish to coat. Add the egg white, and gently mix until the marinade feels slippery and each fish chunk is well-coated.
• Cover the bowl with an overturned plate and transfer to the refrigerator for 15 minutes to marinate while you start the congee.
• In a large pot, bring 8-9 cups of stock and the frozen rice to a boil (no need to defrost the rice). Cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar to avoid the congee boiling over, and reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer for 10 minutes. Do not stir.
• While the congee cooks, wash and finely chop the romaine lettuce and very thinly julienne the ginger. Don't prepare the ginger ahead of time, as you want the flavor of freshly cut ginger.
• After 10 minutes, increase the heat to medium high, and stir the congee continuously for a couple of minutes to thicken. Stir in the lettuce, and bring to a boil to wilt the lettuce.
• Finally, add the fish pieces, gently stirring to distribute them. (If you don't like the taste of raw ginger in your congee, you can add the ginger at this point, along with the fish fillets.) Bring to a boil, and add additional salt and white pepper to taste. Serve topped with scallions, cilantro, and ginger if desired.

FISH FROMAGE

Steps:

• Pour the French dressing into a medium bowl.
• Dip each fillet into dressing, then place in a shallow baking pan.
• Top the fillets with tomato and cheese slices, then any dressing remaining in bowl.
• Sprinkle with oregano and Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in a preheated 450 oven for 20 minutes or until top is golden and fish flakes easily.

DEVILED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Butter the bottom of a baking dish and arrange the fillets within, in one layer.
• Brush each fillet with lemon juice, and dot each with a tablespoon butter.
• Sprinkle with paprika.
• Bake for 6 minutes.
• While fish bakes, combine all remaining ingredients except for bread crumbs.
• Saute in small frying pan for 3-4 minutes until onion softens.
• Remove from heat and add bread crumbs, mixing well.
• Spread this mixture on top of fillets and bake an additional 6 minutes.
• If desired, broil 1 minute to brown topping.
