Tilapia With Purple Potato Crust And Chive Rosemary Oil Recipes

CHILI OIL

Steps:

• Combine the oil and crushed red pepper flakes in a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat until a thermometer inserted into the oil registers 180 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Transfer the oil and pepper flakes to a 4-ounce bottle. Seal the lid. Refrigerate up to 1 month.

TILAPIA WITH PURPLE POTATO CRUST AND CHIVE ROSEMARY OIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the fish fillets on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Top each of the fillets with enough slices of potato to completely cover the surface of the fish, overlaying the potatoes like shingles. Sprinkle the potatoes with a bit more salt and pepper, and the 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves.
• Heat a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the butter. When the butter is melted and the oil is hot add the fish, potato side down. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the fish is cooked through, about 15 to 17 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, chives, the remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• To serve, place the fish on serving plates, potato side up. Drizzle the fish and the plate with the chive oil. Serve immediately.

POTATO-CRUSTED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Combine shredded potatoes, shallot, honey mustard, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Spread each portion of fish with 1 teaspoons mayonnaise and top with 1/4 the potato mixture, pressing onto the fish.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place fish in the skillet, potato-side down and cook until crispy and browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn fish over gently, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking until fish flakes easily using a fork, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Serve fish with lemon wedges.
