Pistachio-Za’atar Crusted Whitefish

Place the pistachios in a mini-chopper or blender and pulse until the mixture is the consistency of coarse sand. (The pistachios should be about the size of dried quinoa – smaller than dried lentils.) Add the za’atar, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and 2 tsp of olive oil to the mini chopper. Pulse to mix.

Place the za’atar mixture in a small bowl.

Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 375F.

Place the fish skin side down on a small plate or cutting board. Pat the za’atar mixture evenly onto the flesh side of the fish.

When the oven is hot, add 1 tsp of olive oil to the pan and return to the oven (to heat the oil). After 1 minute, place the fish filets in the pan, skin side down, and return the pan to the oven. Cook the fish for 5 minutes.

Set the oven to broil.

Broil the fish for 3-5 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.

Remove the pan from the oven and place the fish filets on separate dinner plates.

Place the pan on the stove over medium-high heat.

Add the white wine to the pan, swirl for 30-45 seconds, and add the butter. Stir until melted, and top the fish filets with the sauce. Serve.

Simple Fish En Papillote

Gather all ingredients and equipment and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Divide fish into 6 4-ounce pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

Fold six pieces of foil or parchment paper in half so they are almost a square (15 inches x 12 inches). Starting at one end of the folded edge, cut into a half heart shape so when opened you have a heart shaped piece of foil or parchment.

To assemble the pouches, divide beans, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes evenly between the foil or parchment, placing on one side of the heart. Top with one 4-ounce filet of fish.

Add 2 Tbsp of capers, wine wine, olive oil, green onion, and 1 tsp thyme evenly on top of the fish.

Fold the other side of the heart over the top of the fish pouch. Seal the pouch of the foil or parchment paper, starting at the point of heart and working around the base by folding and crimping the edges inward until all edges are tightly sealed.

Arrange the packaged fish on a baking tray and place in the oven. Cook until the fish is fully cooked through (flaky and reaches an internal temperature of 145F), about 12-15 minutes.

Remove pouches from pan and serve by carefully opening each parchment package and transferring contents to a plate.

Ginger Miso Fish en Papillote

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a small bowl, mix together the miso, the whites of the green onions, 1 tsp of sesame oil, ginger, honey, and 1 tsp soy sauce. Set aside.

Coat the fish filets on both sides with miso mixture and set aside.

Place the bok choy, edamame, and mushrooms in a medium bowl. Add 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and half of the ginger and toss gently to coat.

Fold 2 pieces of parchment paper or foil until they are almost a 15 inch x 12 inch square.

Starting at one end of the folded edge, cut a half of a heart shape in such a way that when the parchment is opened it is in the shape of a heart with the folding crease down the center.

To assemble the pouches, divide the bok choy, edamame and mushrooms mixture between the two hearts, placing the mixture on one half of each heart.

Top the vegetables with one 4-ounce filet of fish.

Top each filet with lime juice.

To close the pouches, fold the top of the heart over the fish and vegetables.

Then starting at the top curve of the heart, make a fold, overlapping your folds to create a sealed crimped outer edge. Continue working around the base of the heart until you get to the bottom point. Twist tightly and fold into a crimp to completely seal your packet.

Arrange the packaged fish on a baking tray and place in the oven.

Cook until the fish is fully cooked through (white and flaky) and has an internal temperature of 140F, about 12-15 minutes.

Place each pouch on a plate and let stand about 30 seconds to cool before opening to avoid burns.

There will be some hot steam that escapes when the parchment is cut (be careful!). Squeeze the limes over the fish and serve.

Baked White Fish

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Place the fish on a sheet pan, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil and season each side with salt and pepper.

Fish Tacos with Corn Relish

In a medium bowl, mix cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, pepper, and 1/4 tsp salt together.

Cut the fish into 4 ounce fillets. Evenly coat each piece of fish with the seasoning mixture.

Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the white part of the green onion, red bell pepper, garlic and corn to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the corn begins to brown. Stir constantly.

In the same pan, add the tomatoes, vinegar and remaining salt to the pan. Cook until the relish starts to thicken.

Stir in the lime juice, honey, cilantro and green parts of the onions to the pan. Pour in a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.

In a separate saute pan, heat 2 tsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until golden brown. Flip the fish over using a spatula and cook until flaky or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from heat and break the fish up with a spatula.

While the fish is cooking, toast the tortillas. Place tortillas over a low flame for 1 to 2 minutes. Constantly check to make sure they aren’t burning, but they should be slightly charred. Flip with tongs.

Assemble tacos by placing 2 tablespoons of corn relish, and 1/4 cup of fish into each of 8 toasted tortillas. Enjoy!

Whitefish with Savory Tomato Sauce

Place the bacon in a small sauce pan over medium-high heat. Let the bacon cook slowly, adjusting the heat so that the bacon doesn’t become crispy. After it is cooked through, remove to a paper towel.
