Best Haddock Mediterranean With Kale Recipes

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

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.

MEDITERRANEAN FISH CHOWDER WITH POTATOES AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the onion, celery and carrot. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
• Add a generous pinch of salt and stir in the garlic, anchovies and chopped parsley. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is very fragrant, another minute or two, and add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a bit and the mixture smells aromatic, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the water, potatoes, salt to taste and the bouquet garni, and bring to a simmer. Add the saffron, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Remove the bouquet garni.
• While the soup is simmering, bring a medium pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add the kale. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still colorful. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely and set aside.
• Shortly before serving, season the fish with salt and pepper and stir into the soup, along with the kale. The soup should not be boiling vigorously. Simmer 5 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets), or just until the fish flakes easily when poked. Remove from the heat, taste once more and adjust seasonings, and serve.

HADDOCK MEDITERRANEAN WITH KALE

Steps:

• Spray a glass baking dish with Pam and lay fish fillets in the dish. Combine chopped tomatoes, olives, scallions, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix. Let flavors blend for about 10 minutes. Spoon tomato mixture generously over the fish and bake, covered, in a 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes (depending on thickness of fillets) or until fish flakes easily but isn't dried out. While fish is baking, wash a generous bunch of fresh kale, remove any woody stems from end and chop. Steam for about 10 minutes, or until just wilted. Toss lightly with Smart Balance margarine, salt and pepper. Serve fish fillets on top of a bed of kale, spooning pan juices over all.

ONE-PAN MEDITERRANEAN HADDOCK WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the oregano, Aleppo pepper, coriander, and paprika. Stir to mix.
• Pat the fish dry and season with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides, then rub the spice mixture all over the fish. Set aside for now.
• In a large cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened (manage your heat so the garlic does not burn)
• Add the white wine, lemon juice, and artichoke hearts and cook for another 5 minutes until the liquid is slightly reduced.
• Add the fish to the skillet and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is flakey and fully cooked through.
• When the fish is ready, remove it from the heat and finish with the Roma tomato, fresh herbs, and olives. Serve immediately!

HERB-ROASTED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the fish fillet on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the top of the fillet. Lay the thyme on top and place the olives next to the fillet.
• Beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of water for an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edge of the parchment paper and fold it in half. Carefully fold the edge of the parchment paper under and around the fish to make a package. Place the package on a sheet pan and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Serve hot in the parchment paper.

MEDITERRANEAN KALE

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the kale, recover, and steam until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Toss steamed kale into dressing until well coated.
