Sauteed Fish With Lemon Butter And Cherry Tomatoes Recipes

LEMON BUTTER SAUCE FOR FISH

Steps:

• Place the butter in a light coloured saucepan or small skillet over medium heat.
• Melt butter then leave on the stove, whisking / stirring very now and then. When the butter turns golden brown and it smells nutty - about 3 minutes, remove from stove immediately and pour into small bowl. (Note 2)
• Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir then taste when it has cooled slightly. Adjust lemon/salt to taste.
• Set aside - it will stay pourable for 20 - 30 minutes. See Note 3 for storing.
• Pat fish dry using paper towels. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, then flour. Use fingers to spread flour. Turn and repeat. Shake excess flour off well, slapping between hands if necessary.
• Heat oil in a non stick skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering and there are faint wisps of smoke, add fish. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges, then turn and cook the other side for 1 1/2 minutes (cook longer if you have thicker fillets).
• Remove immediately onto serving plates. Drizzle each with about 1 tbsp of Sauce (avoid dark specks settled at the bottom of the bowl), garnish with parsley and serve with lemon on the side. Pictured in post with Kale and Quinoa Salad.

ONE-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
• While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.

SPICY SAUTEED FISH WITH OLIVES AND CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Add half of fish to skillet and sauté until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fish to platter. Repeat with remaining fish. Add parsley and crushed red pepper to same skillet; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes, olives, and garlic; sauté until tomatoes are soft and juicy, about 2 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper; spoon over fish.

SAUTEED FISH WITH LEMON BUTTER AND CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Sautee the fish in the olive oil over medium heat until cooked through, adding salt and pepper to taste. This will take 1-4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Make a sauce by adding a good dollop of butter and the juice of a lemon to the pan. Stir it around, loosening all the crispy bits in the bottom of the pan and allowing it to thicken a bit.
• Add a handful of cherry tomatoes, halved and cook just until they are warmed through and begin to break down, adding their juices to the sauce.
• Top the plated fish with the gorgeous orange, buttery, lemony sauce you just made and the tomatoes and eat it up.

SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATOES WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Off heat, stir in the basil and remaining 1 Tb. olive oil, then serve.

• Reduce heat to medium and add the onion and garlic.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened, about 5 minute.
• Meanwhile, place 1 pint of the cherry tomatoes in the food processor bowl and pulse 3-4 times, until coarsely chopped.
• Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the remaining 2 pints of tomatoes.
• Add the chopped tomatoes to the onion and simmer, stirring frequently, until they form a sauce, about 15-20 minute.

PAN-SEARED TILEFISH WITH GARLIC, HERBS AND LEMON

Steps:

• Remove any remaining pin bones in the fish, pat dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Once butter has begun to foam, lay fish in pan. Add green garlic or scallions and a pinch of salt. Without disturbing the fish, tilt the pan toward you; using a spoon, ladle green garlic butter over fish. Continue basting fish for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Using a spatula, gently flip fish. Reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Uncover pan, add herbs and continue basting fish with butter until it is just cooked through, another minute or two longer.
• Transfer fish to a serving platter or individual plates, pour pan sauce over the top, and pour lemon juice over everything. Season with more salt and black pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
