Fish Stew With Pesto Recipes

GRILLED FISH FILLET WITH PESTO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the Philips Airfryer to 180C.
• Brush the fish fillets with the oil and season with pepper & salt. Place in the cooking basket of the Airfryer and slide the basket into the Philips Airfryer. Set the timer for 8 minutes.
• Pick the basil leaves and place them with the garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and olive oil in a food processor or pestle and mortar. Pulse or grind the mixture until it turns into a sauce. Add some salt to taste.
• Place the fish fillets on a serving plate and serve them drizzled with the pesto sauce.

SEXY FISH STEW

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir leek, shallots, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the melted butter until softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir wine into leek mixture, increase heat to medium, and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
• Mix fennel and potatoes into leek mixture and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nearly tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add cream and stir to combine.
• Stir fish and tarragon into soup, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Stir gently, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

FISH STEW WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy saute pan or casserole, at least six quarts capacity.
• Add the onions, leeks, chopped fennel bulbs and red pepper and saute over medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and chili pepper and saute for another minute. Then add the tomatoes, fish stock and wine. Season with a little salt, add the thyme, reduce heat to low and allow to cook for 20 minutes.
• While the vegetable mixture is cooking, place the potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Fold the beans into the vegetable mixture, then tuck in the clams and mussels. Cut the fish into two-inch chunks and add them. Cover the casserole and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the clams and mussels have opened and the fish is cooked through.
• Tuck the potatoes into the stew. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return to a simmer and serve in deep bowls or soup plates, with a dollop of pesto on top of each serving.

FISH STEW

Steps:

• Cut the fish fillets into 3-inch pieces. Season with 1 tablespoon of the rub. Set aside in the refrigerator. Make a roux by combining the oil and flour in a large cast-iron or enameled cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir slowly with a wire whisk or wooden spoon for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the roux becomes dark brown, the color of chocolate. Add the celery, onions, bell peppers, and chilies. Cook, stirring often, for 6 to 7 minutes. Add the bay leaves and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, water, and the remaining 1 teaspoon rub. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour, or until a thin oil film appears on the surface. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking. Increase the heat to medium, add the broth, salt, and cayenne and cook for about 15 minutes. Lay the fish in the mixture and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. During the last 5 minutes of cooking time, add the green onions and parsley. Remove the bay leaves. Serve hot.

SEAFOOD EN BRODO WITH TARRAGON PESTO

Steps:

• For brodo:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Divide bones, onions, fennel, carrots, and 1/4 cup oil between 2 rimmed baking sheets; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast, tossing halfway through, until vegetables are softened and browned, 60-75 minutes.
• Heat saffron and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add leeks and garlic; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until golden, 8-10 minutes. Add vermouth; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
• Add roasted bones and vegetables, parsley stems, lemon zest, bay leaves, peppercorns, and 10 cups water to pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently, skimming as needed, until reduced by half, about 1 hour. Strain through a sieve into a clean pot; discard solids. Season with salt.
• For pesto:
• Pulse garlic, parsley, and tarragon in a food processor until very finely chopped. With motor running, slowly add oil, and process until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
• For assembly:
• Return broth to a simmer; add shellfish, cover pot, and cook until shellfish open (discard any that do not open), about 5 minutes. Transfer shellfish to a large bowl and add a ladleful of broth; tent with foil. Season fish with salt and pepper; add to broth in pot. Cover; cook fish gently until opaque throughout, about 4 minutes.
• Divide fish and shellfish among shallow bowls and ladle broth over. Drizzle stew with oil, top with pesto, and serve with toast.
• DO AHEAD: Brodo can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Pesto can be made 1 day ahead. Press plastic wrap directly on surface and chill.

PESTO BAKED COD AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Thoroughly wash and scrub 6-8 red potatoes (or waxy potatoes of choice). Dice the potatoes into chunks, making sure they are all relatively the same size to ensure even cooking.
• Once the potaotes are diced, place them on a large baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoon olive oil over the potatoes, along with 2 teaspoon each of garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add ¼ teaspoon each of kosher salt and pepper. Toss until completely coated.
• Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven after 15 minutes.
• If using frozen cod, allow the fish to thaw completely before use.
• Once thawed, cut 1 - 1 ½ lbs. into evenly sized filets. Place them on a large plate or separate baking sheet. Pat both sides of the cod dry with paper towels.
• Drizzle the fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle ¼ teaspoon each of kosher salt and pepper on the cod.
• Place the cod on top of the halfway-roasted potatoes and arrange them so that the pieces of fish are not touching each other.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 15 minutes, or until the cod is finished cooking. Remove the pan from the oven.
• Combine ¼ cup jarred basil pesto, 2 tablespoon mayo, and 2 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl.
• Stir until completely combined using a fork or a small whisk.
• Place a couple spoonfuls of roasted potatoes on a plate and drizzle them with desired amount of the pesto mayo.
• Place a few cod filets over the top of the potatoes and sauce.
• Squeeze some fresh lemon over the top of the dish. Garnish with fresh minced basil (optional).
