ZESTY CILANTRO FLOUNDER WITH PIGEON PEAS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Whisk 1 tablespoon each olive oil and cilantro, the hot sauce, lime zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Put the fish in a large baking dish, leaving room between the fillets; top with the cilantro sauce. Bake until the fish is opaque and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, celery, jalapeño, the remaining cilantro and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook until the vegetables start softening, about 3 minutes.
• Stir the pigeon peas and 1 cup water into the pot. Bring to a boil, then add the rice and tomatoes; cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Serve the fish with the pigeon peas and rice.

FLOUNDER FILLETS WITH SPANISH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to low. Mix the flour, salt and pepper together and dip the fillets in the mixture to coat both sides. Shake off excess. Heat a large skillet very hot, add the clarified butter and when it is very hot fry the fillets quickly, turning them once, until they are golden brown on both sides (about 2 minutes or less, altogether). Remove fillets to dinner plates and keep warm in the oven.
• Pour off any remaining clarified butter or oil from the skillet, add 2 tablespoons unsalted regular butter and (still over high heat) add the garlic and saute 10-15 seconds. Add the wine and fish stock, oregano, cumin and red pepper and boil hard until the liquid is reduced to almost nothing. Add the coriander and tomatoes and boil until slightly reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper, remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the additional butter bit by bit, incorporating each piece almost completely before adding the next. Warm the sauce again if necessary, but do not let it boil.
• Spoon a small amount of the sauce over the fillets in the oven, return the skillet to the heat, add the chopped pasta and toss with the rest of the sauce until heated through. Spoon the pasta onto the dinner plates and serve with a tossed salad.
