Rachael Rays Pan Roasted Fish With Burst Tomato Sauce Recipes

RACHAEL RAY'S PAN-ROASTED FISH WITH BURST TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425°F.
• Spread tomatoes onto a cookie sheet and combine with garlic, shallot, 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. The tomatoes will burst after 10 minutes. Continue cooking another 10-12 minutes to concentrate flavor.
• About 10 minutes before you are ready to eat, season fish with salt and pepper and heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. If your fish has skin attached to one side, place skin-side down first. Cook 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to the oven for 5 minutes.
• Remove tomatoes from oven. Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher on the cookie sheet. Top fish with roasted tomato sauce.

OVEN-ROASTED COD CRUSTED WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Pile parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and a little coarse salt on the cutting board. Finely chop the lemon-garlic mixture, then combine with plain bread crumbs.
• Brush the top of each fillet with olive oil and dip in to the bread crumb herb mixture. Brush a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of a baking pan then place fillet in the pan, crust side up. Roast fillets in oven until firm to the touch, about 12 to 15 minutes.

COD WITH FENNEL, DILL AND TOMATO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rinse fish and squeeze lemon juice over it. Season the fish with a little salt and reserve.
• Heat a large oven proof pan over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, fennel and onion and season with salt. Saute fennel and onions 7 to 8 minutes then add white wine and reduce a minute, then add broth. Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Set fish into pan and spoon juices over the cod. Add a few sprigs dill to the broth and set the pan into the hot oven to cook. Cook 12 minutes, until fish is opaque. To serve, arrange cod on plate, top with vegetables and chopped fresh dill.

BAKED FISH DUGLER-INI AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• To a small skillet preheated over medium heat, add extra-virgin olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook onions 5 minutes, until translucent. Add wine to the pan and reduce for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and break up the sliced stewed tomatoes with a wooden spoon as they heat through. When the sauce comes to a boil (2 or 3 minutes) remove it from the heat and stir in the parsley. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Pour a few spoonfuls of sauce into the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Add fish to the dish in a single layer. Add remaining sauce and bake 15 to 17 minutes until fish is firm and opaque.
• Remove fish to serving plate or dinner plates. Spoon a few bits of tomato and sauce over the fish. To the remaining sauce in the baking dish add 2 tablespoons butter cut into small pieces. Add hot pasta to butter and sauce and turn pasta in dish to coat evenly and to allow pasta to absorb juices. Pile pasta alongside fish and serve. If you are entertaining, try bundling portions of pasta around a large, 2-pronged meat fork, by twisting the fork in the pasta allowing it to curl up the fork. Shimmy the twisted pasta off the fork on to a plate you will create pasta "nests." This simple "twist" adds a lot to the plate presentation.

COD WITH BURST GRAPE TOMATOES, PARSLEY-MINT PESTO BROTH AND ROAST FINGERLING POTATO CRISPS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Preheat oven safe skillet over high heat or wrap rubber handles in double layers of foil to protect the surface in the oven.

• Pat cod dry and squeeze a little lemon juice over it and season with salt. Drizzle fish with extra-virgin olive oil.
• When potatoes cool just enough to handle, slice them into 1/4-inch pieces lengthwise. Coat them with extra-virgin olive oil and salt and pepper. Arrange them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and roast them for 20 minutes. Do not move them or turn them as they cook. Chop tarragon, chives and parsley and combine and reserve.
• Add cod seasoned side down to very hot skillet. Sear it 2 minutes, then drizzle the tomatoes with extra-virgin olive oil and season them with salt and pepper and add them to the fish. Sear tomatoes 1 minute, then transfer the pan to the oven and roast the fish and tomatoes 8 minutes until fish if firm and opaque and tomatoes have all burst.
• Place parsley, mint, chicken stock and shallot in food processor or blender and puree. Transfer to small sauce pot and bring to a simmer. Season the broth with salt and pepper, to your taste.
• Heat the light frying oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic to the hot oil and let it fry until crisp and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain garlic chips on a paper towel and reserve.
• When the potatoes are very brown and crisp on the bottom side and tender on the top side, remove. Coat sliced potatoes liberally with the chopped herbs.
• Pour warm pesto broth onto each dinner plate.
• Remove the fish from the oven. The bottom should be crisp and brown. Turn the fish over to place the crispy side up in pools of parsley-mint broth. Arrange the herb potato slices and tomatoes decoratively around the fish. Top the dish off with a scattering of garlic crisps and serve. (You could get $40 a head for this plate! Nice!)
