Broiled Bluefish With Tomato And Herbs Recipes

BROILED BLUEFISH WITH TOMATO, OLIVE, AND CAPER COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make the compote. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and celery, season with pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, and capers and cook, stirring, until hot, about 2 minutes more.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Set aside covered with foil to keep warm.
• Place a rack 5 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
• Prepare the fish. Using a sharp knife, slash the bluefish skin to form cross-hatch marks. Transfer the fillets to a foil-lined baking sheet and brush all over with the oil. Season with salt and generously with pepper. Broil the fish skin-side down, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. (If the skin comes loose during cooking, you may remove and discard it.)
• Using a metal spatula, transfer the fillets to 4 warmed plates and top with the compote. Serve immediately.

GRILLED BLUEFISH

Steps:

• Clean and scale fish. Stuff abundant quantities of fresh herbs into the cavity, then add slices of lemon, and chopped garlic. Brush skin on both sides with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and if desired put into fish-grilling basket and clamp shut. Grill for approximately 6 minutes on each side, turning fish only once. Garnish with more fresh herbs and sliced lemon and serve. Roast potatoes and grilled summer vegetables go well with this dish. Tip: Bluefish caught early in the season, though smaller, are much less oily than those caught later in the summer.;

BLUEFISH DIJONNAISE

Steps:

• Place a large cast-iron griddle or ovenproof skillet under the broiler and preheat until very hot, at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard and thyme in a small bowl.
• Generously season the fillets with salt and pepper. Paint one side of each fillet thickly with the mustard mixture.
• Place the fish in the skillet, painted side up, and broil until the coating is brown and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes.
