Pine Nut Crusted Haddock With Basil Sauce Recipes

COD FISH WITH PINE NUT BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat, till it is light golden in colour.
• (make sure you don't overdue this and burn the butter) Add lemon juice and pine nuts and saute for 1 minute.
• Add fish to pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or till it is cooked to your liking.
• Serve fish on steamed greens with the brown pine nut butter as a sauce.
• Serve with a lemon wedge.

PINE NUT CRUSTED HADDOCK WITH BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Put rack in the middle of oven. Preheat oven at 400°F.
• Fish: Put flour in a plate, egg in a second plate, pine nut and parmigiano in a third plate. Set aside.
• Add salt and pepper to the fish then flour them. Dip one side of each fillet in egg, then press the same side in the pine nut mixture.
• In a large ovenproof non-stick skillet, brown each fillet in oil at medium heat, crusted side down. Flip fillets and cook in the oven 8 to 10 minutes until fish is cooked.
• Sauce: Meanwhile, in a saucepan, soften onion and garlic in oil. Add chicken stock and bring to boil. Let simmer about 2 minutes. In a blender, reduce the stock with the herbs in a creamy puree. Add salt and pepper.
• Distribute sauce in the bottom of 4 warm plates and put the fish on top.

BAKED WHITE FISH WITH PINE NUT, PARMESAN, AND PESTO CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400F/200C. Spray individual casserole dishes with non-stick spray or olive oil (use one large casserole dish if you don't have individual ones.)
• Remove the fish fillets from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature while the oven reheats. (Having the fish at room temperature is very important or it won't cook before the crust topping gets too brown.)
• Use a large chef's knife to finely chop the pine nuts and mince the garlic. Mix together chopped pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, basil pesto, and mayo.
• Use a rubber scraper to spread the crust mixture evenly over the surface of each fish fillet. Pile it on so all the crust mixture is used.
• Bake fish 10-15 minutes, until fish is firm to the touch and crust mixture is starting to lightly brown. (I baked the fish pieces in the photo for 13 minutes.) Serve hot.

SALMON WITH A PINE NUT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (170C).
• Spread the breadcrumbs and pine nuts in a baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. (Chopped almonds may be used in place of the pine nuts.).
• Wash the salmon fillets.
• Pat dry, and brush with the Dijon mustard.
• Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the salmon steaks, pressing to adhere to the fish.
• Heat the oil, butter and shallot in oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add salmon, crumb-side down and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn fish over.
• Transfer skillet to oven.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes more, until cooked.
• For the sauce: Reduce the lemon juice in a saucepan to 1 teaspoon.
• Add the heavy cream and boil until slightly thickened.
• Whisk in the butter until smooth. Add the fresh dill.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

HEALTHY MEDITERRANEAN BAKED HADDOCK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the cherry tomatoes, white wine, olives, 3 of the garlic cloves, capers, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Pat the haddock fillets dry with a paper towel and season the flesh side with the Italian seasoning, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Nestle the fillets into the sauce in the baking dish. Bake until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and the fillets are cooked through and easily flaked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 garlic clove with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Brush both sides of each slice of bread with the oil mixture and place onto a baking sheet. Bake until the bread is toasted, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Serve the fish on plates with the sauce and bread on the side.

HALIBUT WITH PINE NUT AND PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a medium sized bowl, mix the pine nuts, Parmesan, basil, garlic, and olive oil.
• Place the fish filets on a baking tray (I used aluminum pie pans) skin side down. Salt the upper portions to your taste.
• Press the pine nut mixture onto the salted fish, patting it down to make it stick.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork and is opaque. Don't forget to scrape the brown crusty bits off the bottom of the pan - those are the tasty parts.
• I made this recipe for 2 using 2 fish filets and coating both sides of the fish with the mixture.
