Wine Baked Onions With Herbed Crumb Topping Recipes

BAKED SCROD WITH LEMON HERB PANKO CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a skillet, saute the onion in 1 teaspoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of butter until soft but not browned.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the panko crumbs with the parsley and 1 teaspoon of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and the juice of half the lemon.
• Once the onions are soft, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
• Add to the onions, the juice of 1/2 the lemon (or more!) and the white wine and continue to cook for 1 minute.
• Spread the onion and lemon mixture into individual baking dishes or one baking dish large enough to snuggly hold all the fish.
• Place the fish on top of the onions and season the fish with salt and pepper and a little spray of olive oil.
• Divide the crumb topping evenly over the fish and sprinkle with parsley and give a light spray of olive oil.
• Bake for about 20 minutes until fish is cooked through and the crumbs are nicely browned.
• Cover with tinfoil half way through baking if the top is browning to fast.

BAKED SALMON WITH A LEMON & HERB CRUMB

Steps:

• Pin bone the salmon and place it on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper skin side down. Coat the mayonnaise evenly over the top of the fish.
• Mix all the crumb ingredients together and using your fingers thoroughly mix together so the herbs, spices, and lemon zest totally mixes in with the crumbs. Spread evenly over the salmon and bake for 15 - 20 minutes (depending on how thick the fish is) at 200C and until the crust is golden brown and the salmon just cooked through.
• To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients together, season to taste and serve on the side.

WINE-BAKED ONIONS WITH HERBED CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Trim ends of onions to level. Place onions, flat side up, in small baking dish. Season onions with salt and pepper. Add wine to baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until onions are tender, basting with wine occasionally, about 55 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs, parsley and thyme and sauté until breadcrumbs are light golden brown, about 4 minutes.
• Remove onions from pan. Spoon breadcrumb mixture evenly onto onions. Press breadcrumbs lightly to adhere. Continue baking onions, uncovered, until breadcrumbs are crisp and golden brown, about 15 minutes. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm onions in 350°F. oven until topping is crisp, about 15 minutes.)
