Pancetta Wrapped Fish With Lemony Potatoes Recipes

PANCETTA-WRAPPED FISH WITH LEMONY POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the potatoes in a pan of water and boil for 10-12 mins until tender. Add the beans for the final 2-3 mins. Drain well and slice the potatoes in half. Tip into a roomy baking dish and toss with the olives, lemon zest and oil. Season well.
• Season the fish and wrap with the pancetta or bacon. Place on top of the potatoes. Bake for 10-12 mins until cooked through, then add a squeeze of lemon juice and scatter with tarragon before serving.

LEMON-HERB FISH AND POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Use a food processor to slice potatoes 3/16 inch thick. Transfer to a bowl and toss with remaining olive oil and garlic. Overlap potatoes tightly in 5 rows lengthwise on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until spotty brown and just tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
• While potatoes are baking, make herb butter by mashing butter, lemon zest, herbes de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Rinse halibut fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and rub herb butter evenly over the top of each fillet.
• Remove potatoes from the oven. Carefully arrange fillets over the potatoes and top with lemon slices.
• Return to the oven and roast until fish flakes easily when gently prodded with a paring knife, about 15 minutes.
• Gently cut potatoes in squares around each fillet and lift onto individual serving plates.

GRILLED PANCETTA WRAPPED WHOLE FISH WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Rinse fish and pat dry. Season to taste inside and out. Place fresh herbs inside cavity of fish. Lightly oil both sides of fish. Wrap seasoned, oiled fish with pancetta that is thinly sliced and unrolled. Wrap fish loosely with the pancetta leaving head and tail exposed.
• Set fish in center of cooking grate. Cover grill. Cook until opaque, but still moist in thickest part (10 to 15 minutes). Turn once during cooking. Remove from grill. Peel off top layer of skin. Slide fish onto platter. To serve slide a wide metal spatula between flesh and bones, and lift out each portion.

POTATO WRAPPED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Slice potato with a mandolin to get uniform, extra thin slices. For each serving arrange about 8 slices of the potato on a flat surface so that there are 2 rows of 4 slices each, slightly overlapping. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Lay the fish fillet down the center of the potatoes slices. Bring up both sides of the potatoes to form a packet. The potato will "stick" to the fish. Sprinkle with paprika.
• Heat enough oil in a skillet to coat bottom of pan over medium high heat. If using garlic or onion, sauté 1 or 2 minutes and remove if desired (you can also leave them in). Cook potato-fish packet 3 minutes on each side.
• Serve over sautéed spinach, arugula, or broccoli rabe.

PANCETTA-WRAPPED HADDOCK WITH LEMON AIOLI AND ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic in a bowl; refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to blend flavors.
• Move an oven rack into the middle of oven and place another rack into top third; preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Lay asparagus spears in a row onto a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray; sprinkle with sea salt.
• Drizzle haddock fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and rosemary. Wrap each fillet loosely with 3 slices pancetta bacon, wrapping bacon so that ends meet over skinned side of fillets. Place fillets into a 9x13-inch baking dish with bacon ends on the bottom. Pour white wine around the fillets.
• Place fish onto lower rack of preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes. Place asparagus onto upper rack of oven. Continue baking until pancetta is browned, fish is opaque and flakes easily, and asparagus are lightly browned on the tips, 7 to 8 more minutes.
• Stir warm water into lemon aioli sauce until sauce is pourable; pour about 2 tablespoons sauce onto each of 4 serving dishes. Arrange haddock fillets onto sauce and spread 1/4 of the roasted asparagus in a fan shape next to each fillet.
