Shark Amandine Recipes

SEVEN SPICED SHARK STEAKS

Steps:

• Rinse the shark steaks and trim off any skin.
• Mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic salt, thyme, black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl to form a paste. Spread a thin layer of the soy sauce mixture on both sides of each shark steak. Place on a plate and cover. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Arrange the shark on a baking sheet. Bake the shark in the preheated oven until cooked completely through, about 40 minutes, turning the steaks over once, about half-way through the cooking time.

TROUT AMANDINE

Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry trout. Season inside and out with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge trout in flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over high heat until melted. Add trout and brown both sides. Lower heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove trout to a serving plate and keep warm.
• Wipe out pan and add 2 tablespoons butter. Cook butter over medium heat until it just begins to brown. Add the almonds and brown.
• Pour sauce and almonds over fish and sprinkle with lemon juice and parsley. Garnish with fresh lemon slices.

MONKFISH ALMONDINE

Steps:

• Combine the sweet paprika, smoked paprika and hot paprika, and the garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, and then sprinkle evenly, but sparingly, with the paprika mixture, and rub it in.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. When the skillet is hot, add the fish and sear on one side until dark, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lemon zest and shallots to the skillet. Flip the fish; add the butter and almonds; and cook, basting the fish using a large spoon, until the almonds brown and the fish tests tender in the center when poked with a fork or toothpick, 2 to 3 minutes. Pick out the lemon zest and discard.
• Transfer the fish, along with the shallots, almonds and some of the butter, to plates and serve right away.

• Turn over and add more butter sauce. Continue broiling for about 10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
• While broiling, cut bacon into small 1" chunks and fry until crispy. Leave for 5 minutes on a paper towel to soak.
