Fish In Hazelnut Crust With Red Pepper Relish Recipes

FISH IN HAZELNUT CRUST WITH RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Place the nuts in a dry skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 15 minutes, until they are toasted. Do not allow them to burn.
• Wrap the hot, toasted nuts in a clean cloth and rub them in the cloth to remove the skins. Chop them fairly fine in a food processor or by hand. Mix the chopped nuts with the bread crumbs, coriander and cumin and spread this mixture on a plate.
• Place the eggs in a bowl.
• Combine flour, pepper and salt and spread on another plate.
• Dip the pieces of fish first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in the eggs, allowing the excess to run off. Press the fish into the crumbs. Place the fish, as it is coated, on a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to one-half hour.
• To cook, heat the butter in a large, nonstick skillet. Place the coated fish in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the pieces are lightly browned, turning them once until they are browned on both sides, two to three minutes on each side. If all the pieces do not fit in the pan, remove those that are cooked to a warm plate and repeat with the rest. It should not be necessary to add additional butter or oil.
• Serve at once with red pepper relish on the side.

HAZELNUT CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. While the potatoes are boiling, mash the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a smooth paste. Drain potatoes, then mash together with the garlic paste, butter, and pepper. Keep warm.
• Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• While the potatoes are cooking, Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Pulse the hazelnuts and bread crumbs in a food processor until finely ground, but not ground into a paste. Pour onto a shallow dish. Season the halibut fillets on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gently press one side of the halibut fillets into the nut mixture, and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Place the halibut fillets nut-side-up into the skillet; cook until the halibut begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the fillets over, and place into the preheated oven. Bake, nut-side-down until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes.
• Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it turns nut brown. Stir in the vegetable broth, and bring to a simmer.
• To serve, mound the potatoes onto the center of each dinner plate. Place a halibut fillet on top of the mashed potatoes nut-side-up, then drizzle with the browned butter sauce.

HAZELNUT-CITRUS ENCRUSTED SALMON

• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
