Best Pescado En Salsa Verde Fish Fillets In Green Sauce Recipes

MARISCADA EN SALSA VERDE (SEAFOOD STEW IN GREEN SAUCE)

Steps:

• Cook tomatillos in boiling water for about 3 minutes (they will change color), cool off in cold water for a couple of minutes, then chop in a food processor.
• Add onions and garlic to food processor and coarsely puree.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute puree until onions are tender, about 5 minutes (I know this is hard to tell, but use your nose; the puree will smell strongly of onions, but once done, the aroma will be lessened).
• Stir in coconut milk, chicken stock, wine, and parsley; season with salt and pepper and hot sauce.
• Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium high heat; add shrimp and saute until slightly seared, but not necessarily cooked through (will finish in the sauce), about 1 minute per side; set aside.
• Saute scallops until seared, about 2 minutes per side (will also finish in sauce); set aside.
• Wipe out skillet and add about 1/4 cup water and and lobster tails; cover and let steam about 3 minutes; snip in half, lengthwise, with kitchen shears, and set aside.
• Add clams to skillet, cover and cook clams, shaking occasionally, until one opens, then add mussels.
• Re-cover and cook, while shaking pan occasionally, until all shells open.
• Add seafood, including squid (calamari) to salsa verde and heat through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve with optional garnishes.

• Once, salsa verde is finished simmering, pour it into an oven-safe covered casserole (a pretty one for serving).
• Add seafood, stir, cover, and bake at 325 degrees F until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
• Bring to the table in the casserole dish; pass optional garnishes.

MERLUZA EN SALSA VERDE (HAKE IN A GREEN SAUCE)

Steps:

• Carefully clean, rinse and pat dry the hake. Sprinkle the fillets lightly with salt.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic just begins to color, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over and mix thoroughly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of water, the clam broth or juice, wine, parsley and salt to taste. Decrease the heat to medium and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thick or just barely coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. You can add more cold water to loosen up the sauce if necessary.
• Add the hake to the pan, skin-side up, in a single layer. Cook the hake fillets in the sauce for 2 minutes, swirling the pan constantly and sliding the pan on and off the fire until the hake fillets give off some of their gelatin and emulsify with the rest of the sauce. Flip the hake fillets once and cook until the fish is opaque but not overcooked, another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. The sauce should be very light green and slightly thick but still loose and light. Serve immediately.

PESCADO EN SALSA VERDE (FISH FILLETS IN GREEN SAUCE)

Steps:

• Blot the fillets dry--really dry--to avoid a watery sauce.
• In a blender, combine olive oil, wine, vinegar, parsley, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and blend on high until smooth.
• In a large skillet, arrange the fish snugly in a single layer and pour the sauce over the fish.
• If the fish won't fit in one layer, arrange the fish in two layers, pouring half the sauce over the first layer and the rest over the top.
• Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat.
• Immediately reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan and gently simmer the fish for 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes when pierced with a fork.
• Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets; if they are thin, they will be done in less time.

GRILLED FISH WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• To make the salsa verde, combine the garlic, anchovy fillet, salt and capers in a mini food processor and pulse to a paste. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender and combine the ingredients in a jar and blend to a paste.) Add the olive oil and parsley and blend to a purée. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If using within a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature. Otherwise, refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
• Prepare a hot grill. When the grill is ready, season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and brush generously on both sides with olive oil. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side, just until you can pull the flesh apart with a fork. Remove from the heat and serve with the salsa verde.
