Fishvinaigrette Recipes

BASIC VINAIGRETTE DRESSING WITH 8 VARIATIONS

Steps:

• Shake all ingredients for your chosen variation together in a tightly-lidded container OR whisk together in a small bowl.
• Let stand 10 minutes to rehydrate dried herbs and blend flavors.
• Shake again then dress salad as desired.
• Note -- I recommend the lemon dressing on spinach.
• Note -- I recommend the Bacon Dressing, Mustard Dressing, and Balsamic Vinaigrette on strong greens such as escarole, curly endive, and dandelion greens.
• Note -- The sweeter version of the mustard dressing is great for a vinegar coleslaw if you discover that you have accidentally gotten one of those occasional cabbages that are a touch on the bitter side.
• Note -- feel free to play with other seasonings, more complex blends, flavored oils, and flavored vinegars. Once you've learned the technique you can customize your salad dressing to suit just about any meal.

PAN SEARED FISH WITH RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: mash the raspberries with a fork and mix with red wine vinegar. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Then strain through a sieve to remove raspberry seeds.
• Add the rest of the ingredients for the vinaigrette and whisk to make the vinaigrette.
• Salt and pepper the fish fillets to taste.
• Heat olive oil in pan on medium high heat and add rosemary, chili and garlic to flavour the oil. Remove rosemary, chili and garlic when slightly browned.
• Sear fish fillets in pan in the flavoured oil on both sides until done or fish flake easily. Time for searing depends on thickness of your fillets and type of fish you use.
• Arrange fillets on plates, add rosmary, chili and garlic.
• Add raspberry vinaigrette and decorate with fresh raspberries. Serve with white bread and a green salad.
