Roasted Fish With Coriander In Vinegar Sauce Recipes

MOROCCAN BAKED FISH WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Season fish fillets lightly with salt and pepper and set aside. Wash cilantro and pat dry. Reserve a few cilantro sprigs for garnish, then roughly chop leaves and tender stems and put in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the garlic, the chile, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, the paprika, 1/2 cup olive oil and the lime juice. Stir mixture together.
• Pour cilantro sauce over fish fillets, reserving 4 tablespoons of the sauce for serving. Coat both sides of fish with the mixture. Cover and leave at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to several hours.
• Meanwhile, put butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add sliced onions and season generously with salt and pepper. Add remaining ground cumin and ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds, the turmeric and the cayenne. Stir to coat. When onions begin to soften, turn heat to medium. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until onions are soft and begin to brown. Stir in preserved lemon and olives. Cool to room temperature. (The onions may be cooked in advance.)
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread onions in a low baking dish. Arrange marinated fish fillets over onions in a single layer. Bake on top rack until fish is just done, 10 to 15 minutes. To serve, smear a little reserved cilantro sauce over each fillet, and give each guest a large spoonful of the onions. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

BAKED FISH IN GARLIC VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Dredge the fish fillets in flour and a little salt. Place them in a shallow baking dish so that they all fit snugly.
• 2. Saute the onions, in a bit of butter until they are tender and transparent. Spread the onions over the fish fillets.
• 3. Prepare the sauce as follows: Blend the olive oil, white vinegar, garlic, oregano, mustard, parsley, coriander, lemon juice, and wine.
• 4. Pour the sauce over the fish, and bake the fish, uncovered, in a 350° oven for about 45 minutes.
• 5. Suggestion: Serve a nice soup, a pasta with the fish, and a salad on the side. Perfection!

ROASTED FISH WITH CORIANDER IN VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub softened butter over bottom of roasting pan and sprinkle with 12 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and 1 tablespoon sea salt.
• Rinse fish and pat dry, then arrange diagonally in roasting pan. If fish is more than 18 inches long, tail will curl up side of pan (wrap tail in foil to prevent burning).
• Stir together almonds, 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Stuff fish with lemon slices, almond mixture, and 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces. (Some nuts may spill out.) Sprinkle fish with remaining 8 bay leaves, 2 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds, and 2 teaspoons sea salt. Dot fish with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces.
• Put oven rack in middle position and place fish in cold oven. Set oven temperature to 500°F. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. (Cut into fish along backbone with a small knife to check doneness; fish should have turned from translucent to opaque.)
• Transfer fish to a large platter using 2 wide metal spatulas. Reserve any pan juices.
• Boil all sauce ingredients in a small nonreactive saucepan 1 minute. Stir in reserved pan juices and pour sauce over fish. Discard bay leaves.
