Best Poached Fish In Creole Sauce Recipes

POACHED FISH IN CREOLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the scallions, garlic, celery, green pepper, and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minute until softened but not brown. Add the flour to the veg. mixture and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring, about 1 minute longer. Add the tomatoes, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, thyme, cayenne, black pepper, and stock. Bring to a boil, stirring, then simmer, partially covered, 25-30 minute Stir the parsley into the sauce, then remove about 1 cup of the sauce from the pan and reserve. Add the fish fillets to the pan in a single layer. Pour the reserved sauce over the fillets. Partially cover the pan and simmer the fish about 10 minutes, until the fish flakes. With a large slotted spatula, transfer the fish to a serving dish and spoon the sauce over the fillets. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or rice and green beans.

TOMATO-POACHED FISH WITH CHILE OIL AND HERBS

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet (use one with a lid) over medium-high. Add garlic and shallots and cook, swirling the skillet constantly until they start to toast and turn light golden brown, 2 minutes or so. Add red-pepper flakes and swirl to toast for a few seconds. Remove from heat and transfer all but 1 tablespoon of the chile oil to a small bowl.
• Add tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they burst and start to become saucy and jammy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add fish sauce, if using, and 1 1/2 cups water, swirling to release any of the bits stuck on the bottom of the skillet.
• Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened but still nice and brothy, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper and gently lay the pieces in the brothy tomatoes. Cover the skillet and cook until the fish is opaque and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes (slightly longer for a thicker piece of fish, like halibut).
• To serve, transfer fish and brothy tomatoes to a large shallow bowl or divide among four bowls. Drizzle with reserved chile oil, more olive oil and the crispy shallots and garlic. Top with cilantro and mint, and serve with limes for squeezing over the top. Serve with tortillas, toast or rice, if you like.
