Best Potato Wrapped Fish Fillets Recipes

POTATO-WRAPPED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Halve potatoes lengthwise. Using a very sharp knife or mandolin, slice potatoes lengthwise into paper-thin rounds.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper on work surface; arrange potato slices, slightly overlapping, to form a 5-by-7-inch rectangle on parchment; season with salt and pepper.
• Place one fish fillet on potato rectangle. Using the parchment paper, wrap one side of the potatoes around the fish, pressing to adhere. Top with three parsley leaves. Wrap remaining side of potato rectangle around fish and over parsley, pressing to adhere. Carefully remove parchment paper and discard. Repeat process with remaining potatoes, fish fillet, and parsley.
• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat potatoes dry with a clean towel and add fish, parsley side down; cook, turning, until potatoes are golden and crisp on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and serve immediately with beurre rouge sauce.

CRISPY FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, mustard, and salt; set aside. Place the potato flakes in another shallow dish.
• Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Dip fish fillets in the egg mixture. Dredge the fillets in the potato flakes, making sure to completely coat the fish. For extra crispy, dip into egg and potato flakes again.
• Fry fish fillets in oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

POTATO-CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, lemon zest, crushed red pepper flakes and fennel seeds. Bring to a boil then turn the heat off and let it sit for at least 1 hour. (*Big tip: This can be done ahead and used for LOTS of different things.)
• Using a mandoline, slice 1 potato extremely thin, (paper thin), in elongated rounds. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a clean, dry work surface. Arrange 3 potato slices in an overlapping vertical line pressing them together as you put them on the parchment. Repeat this process until you have a 4 by 6-inch overlapping potato rectangle that replicates fish scales. Brush the potato "scales" with the infused oil and sprinkle with salt. Season the halibut with salt. Lay the halibut fillet closer to 1 end of the potato rectangle than the other and then roll the fish up in the potato slices, using the parchment to help facilitate the rolling. Press to compact and really adhere the potatoes to the fish. Brush the outside of the potatoes with the infused oil to seal the potatoes and to prevent the potatoes from turning brown, this will also help make a nice tight "fish package". Reserve the fish in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining fillets. Refrigerate the fillets for at least 1 hour before cooking.
• To cook the fish:
• Add the infused olive oil to a large nonstick saute pan until the bottom is generously covered and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and add to the pan. Cook the fish on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes frequently spooning the excess oil over the fish to "baste" it. The potatoes should be crispy golden brown and very well flavored and the fish will be succulent inside its crispy "scales". Transfer to serving plates and serve.

TORTILLA-WRAPPED FISH

Steps:

• In large skillet heat olive oil over high heat. Saute potatoes, shaking the pan frequently, until golden brown, about 5 -7 minutes. With slotted spoon transfer to a mixing bowl. In same skillet saute onions, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute. Add tomatoes, oregano, and cook an additional minute. Remove from heat and stir in olives. Add mixture to mixing bowl. Add pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.
• Heat the grill or preheat oven to 450 degrees. In another skillet, heat vegetable oil until hot, but not smoking. Using tongs, dip each tortilla in the oil, and cook for about 30 seconds each side. Drain on a paper towel. Season fish fillet with salt and pepper. On tin foil, arrange 3 tortillas so they overlap in the center to form a triangle. Place fish fillet in the center. Divide potato mixture into 6 parts and mound 1 portion evenly over the fillet. Fold over tortillas to enclose the stuffing, forming a triangle. Wrap the fish in tin foil. Repeat the wrapping and mounding process with the remaining fillets. To grill, cook 9 minutes on each side on a moderately hot spot on the grill. To bake, place the packets directly on the oven rack and cook for 20 - 25 minutes.
• To serve, unwrap and discard the foil and, with a spatula, transfer the fish to plates. Open the tortillas to resemble the leaves of a flower. Though they can be eaten, the real purpose of the tortillas is to add moisture and flavor. Serve with lime wedges as garnish.
• In large bowl combine all ingredients and stir until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky and form a ball when pressed together. To test, flatten a small of dough between your palms. If the edges crack, add water to the dough, a tablespoon at a time, until a test piece does not crack. Divide the dough into 24 golf ball size pieces for tacos and 23 large bowls for quesadillas. Place on a platter and cover with a damp towel. Toast or fry as desired.

LE CIRQUE'S POTATO-WRAPPED TRUFFLED COD

Steps:

• Melt 2 pieces of the butter. Toss the potatoes with the melted butter and season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
• Season the cod with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Lay out 4 10-inch squares of plastic wrap on the counter. On each square lay enough slices of potato to fully surround the cod. Place 1 fillet on each square and lay 3 slices of truffle on each. Wrap the cod in the potato slices, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Boil the wine, shallots and thyme together for 20 to 30 minutes, until reduced to half a cup. Strain through a very fine sieve. Whisk the cream into the reduced wine. Over a low flame bring the wine and cream to a boil. Remove from heat. Whisk 6 pieces of butter into the sauce, 1 piece at a time. Return to very low heat if necessary to fully incorporate the butter into the sauce. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 pinch of sugar and fresh pepper. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm.
• Melt 2 pieces of butter in a skillet. Add the leeks and cook over medium heat until soft about 10 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a nonstick pan over medium heat and heat the remaining butter until very hot. Add the fish and cook for 2 1/2 minutes per side, until the potatoes are browned. Bake for 5 minutes and serve on a bed of leeks with a drizzle of sauce.

WHOLE ROASTED FISH WITH SLICED POTATOES, OLIVES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, chopped garlic, chopped oregano, olives and red pepper; drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt. Arrange the potatoes and friends in the bottom of a baking dish large enough to accommodate the fish. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove and reserve.
• Make 3 diagonal slices about 1/2 inch deep on each side of the fish. Season the outside and inside with olive oil and salt. Place the lemon slices, bay leaves, whole oregano sprigs, parsley and the remaining smashed garlic inside the body cavity of the fish.
• Pour the wine over the potatoes, lay the fish on top and toss the whole thing in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eyeballs pop out.
• Remove the skin and bones and serve the fish over the potatoes.

PANCETTA-WRAPPED FISH WITH LEMONY POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the potatoes in a pan of water and boil for 10-12 mins until tender. Add the beans for the final 2-3 mins. Drain well and slice the potatoes in half. Tip into a roomy baking dish and toss with the olives, lemon zest and oil. Season well.
• Season the fish and wrap with the pancetta or bacon. Place on top of the potatoes. Bake for 10-12 mins until cooked through, then add a squeeze of lemon juice and scatter with tarragon before serving.

BAKED FISH & POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Cut each potato into 6 wedges; place in large bowl. Add dressing; toss to coat. Place, cut sides down, on rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 10 min.
• Meanwhile, mix cracker crumbs and 1 Tbsp. cheese in shallow dish or pie plate. Cut fish crosswise into 1-inch-wide sticks; spread tops and sides with mayo. Roll in crumb mixture until evenly coated.
• Turn potatoes and move to edges of pan. Place fish, coated sides up, in center of pan. Bake 8 to 10 min. or until potatoes are tender, and fish is golden brown and flakes easily with fork. Sprinkle remaining cheese over potatoes.
• Serve fish with lemon wedges, broccoli and potatoes.

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
• Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
• Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.
