FISH KOFTAS IN TOMATO AND CARDAMOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Start with the sauce: In a large sauté pan (choose one that has a lid), heat olive oil, garlic, half the sliced chile pepper and a good pinch of salt over medium-low heat. Gently fry for 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is soft and golden. Remove 2 tablespoons of the oil (with some of the chile and garlic) and set aside.
• Add celery, shallot and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to the same pan and continue to cook for 8 minutes, stirring often, until soft and translucent. Increase the heat to medium, add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, cumin, lime zest and juice and the cardamom and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine, 1 1/2 cups/350 milliliters water and 1/4 teaspoon salt and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, turning the heat down if the sauce bubbles too much, and stirring once in a while.
• While the sauce is simmering, make the fish koftas: Add fish, pistachios, herbs, lime zest, chile and egg to a bowl with 3 tablespoons potato flour and 1/8 teaspoon salt and mix together well. Grease your hands with a little oil and roll the mix into approximately 12 golf-sized balls (about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 ounces/45 to 50 grams each), applying pressure to compact them as you go. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons/25 grams flour to a plate and roll each ball in the flour so they are coated.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large, nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fish balls and cook for about 5 minutes, turning throughout until all sides are golden-brown and crisp. (Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside if it finishes before you finish the koftas.)
• After the sauce has been cooking for 20 minutes, transfer the balls into the sauce, drizzling over some of the frying oil (or return the sauce to medium heat). Cover the pan with the lid and cook for 4 minutes, until hot.
• Remove the lid and scatter the herbs and the remaining fresh chile over the top, then drizzle with the reserved garlic and chile oil. Serve hot, with lime juice added to taste, or with lime wedges alongside.

WOLF FISH AND LITTLENECK CLAMS IN ALMOND-TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, capers, almonds, basil, thyme, and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. (The sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead.)
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the almond-tomato sauce in the bottom of an ovenproof casserole dish. Lightly brush wolf fish with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the wolf fish on top of the sauce in the center of the casserole dish, and arrange the clams around the outer edge. Bake uncovered until the wolf fish is cooked through and the clams have opened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with smashed potatoes.

BROWNED AND BRAISED FISH IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put half the oil in a deep skillet wide enough to accommodate the fish. Turn heat to medium high. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper, and dredge skin side in flour. When oil is hot (a pinch of flour will sizzle), put fish in pan skin side down and cook, adjusting heat as necessary so fish browns but does not burn. Cook without turning 5 to 10 minutes, until bottom of fish is nicely browned. Turn off heat, and carefully remove fish to a platter, browned side up.
• Let pan cool a few moments, and wipe it out with paper towels. Add the remaining oil and the onion, garlic and pepper; cook together over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and, if you are using them, capers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break up, 5 to 10 minutes; adjust heat so mixture bubbles steadily but not violently.
• Return fish to pan skin side up, and cook just until fish is tender. Garnish, and serve fish with sauce.

FISH IN A HOT SAFFRON AND GINGER TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Have the whole fish (if using) scaled and cleaned but leave the heads on.
• In a frying pan, heat the garlic and the chili in the oil for moments only, until they soften. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, saffron, and ginger, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Put the fish in the pan with the tomato sauce and simmer until done to your liking-about 3-6 minutes for fillets and about 6-10 minutes for whole fish (turning the whole fish over once), until the fish flakes but is still slightly underdone.

BAKED COD FISH WITH TOMATO CHEESE SAUCE AND BACON

Steps:

• Chop tomato and bacon.
• Rinse cod fish fillets with cold water and pad dry with paper towels. Cut each fillet into little bit bigger than bit size and put into a shallow bowl with white wine. Add salt and black pepper to season. Set aside.
• Make tomato cheese sauce. In a bowl, mix together tomatoes, soy sauce, oregano leaves and shredded cheddar cheese.
• Make crumble. In another bowl, mix together panko, bacon and wild rice.
• In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté spinach over medium heat for about 1 minute then put into each serving ramekin (10-12 oz each) equally. Place cod fish equally with the liquid remaining in the bowl on the spinach. Put the tomato cheese sauce on the fish and sprinkle crumble. Sprinkle black pepper to season (as much as you prefer) and pour the olive oil (1 teaspoon for each) over the top.
• Bake in preheated 400 degrees F oven for 15-20 minutes until fish are cooked through and crumbles are golden brown and crisp.

FISH AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut up the cod into chunks and pat dry with kitchen paper. Coat with the flour.
• Heat oil in a pan and brown the fish, set aside.
• Use the same pan to saute onion, garlic and vegetables until the onion is translucent. Add tomato sauce and herbs. Simmer for 5 mins.
• Put fish back into the pan and reduce the heat. Simmer for another 5 mins then serve with mash potato, roast potatoes or rice.

FISH WITH ASPARAGUS AND BURST TOMATO-SHRIMP SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium saute pan. Sprinkle the fluke with the coriander and salt and then dredge on both sides in some flour, tapping off the excess flour (you want just enough to coat). Place the fillets in the hot pan and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional minute on the second side, or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook until reduced by half. Add half of the minced garlic and the cherry tomatoes and shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the tomatoes have burst, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil and oregano.
• Meanwhile, add the asparagus to a pot of salted boiling water and cook until bright green but not completely tender, about 3 minutes. Shock in an ice bath and place on paper towels to dry.
• To a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, the remaining garlic and the blanched asparagus. Cook until hot and tender.
• To serve, arrange some asparagus on a serving plate, top with a fish fillet and then with some sauce.
