Best Roasted Fish With Brown Butter Corn Recipes

BAKED HADDOCK WITH BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• For Fish:
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease by spritzing or drizzling olive oil over it.
• Place fish, skin side down, on cookie sheet.
• Lightly spritz or drizzle olive oil on top of fish fillets.
• Lightly season with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, paprika & parsley.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes (depending on thickness) until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Drizzle with brown butter and serve immediately. Enjoy :)
• For Brown Butter:
• Add 2 tablespoons butter to a saucepan. Don't walk away, stay by saucepan during whole process - it only takes a few minutes start to finish and can burn easily.
• Over medium to medium high heat, melt butter and continually whisk or swirl butter.
• Butter will start to foam up, keeping whisking or swirling. You'll notice little brown specks at the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and continue to whisk or swirl for a few seconds.
• This stuff is HOT so don't go sticking pastry brushes in it right away (I speak from experience lol). Let rest for a minute and use a metal spoon to drizzle over fish.

ROASTED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Begin by preparing the vegetable base for the fish. Heat 1/3 cup of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the eggplant, season with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes until just tender. Set aside on a platter. Add the zucchini to the pan and cook in the same way until just tender and remove to the platter with the eggplant. Add to the pan, smashed anchovies, onion, garlic and fennel. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until caramelized then add tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for a further 5 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper and add the red pepper flakes. Combine all the vegetables together in a large roasting pan.
• Now prepare the fish. Get your fishmonger to prepare the tail piece of your fish so it is cleaned and boned, and ready to go when you get home. Begin by vertically scoring the fish in 4 places, skin side up so the cuts pierce the skin and reveal the flesh. Prepare the basil compound butter by chopping half of the basil and mixing it with the room temperature butter until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Season the piece of fish with salt and pepper and smear the top of the fish with basil butter then take the whole fish and transfer to the roasting tray and place on top of the bed of vegetables.
• Sprinkle the buttered fish with the bread crumb mixture.
• Place in hot oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare, then finish under the broiler for 2 minutes to crisp the skin. Do not over cook, otherwise the fish will be dry.
• To serve, portion the fish along the score marks, serve with a scoop of the vegetables.
• Put bread, herbs, garlic and 1/3 cup of olive oil in a food processor and pulse until you have the texture of coarse bread crumbs. They should be a vibrant green from the olive oil and the herbs. Season well with salt and pepper and toast over medium heat in a large saute pan until crispy.

ROASTED CORN WITH FOUR-CHILE BUTTER

Steps:

• Carefully roast the chile peppers over the flame of your stovetop, on a grill or under the broiler. Using tongs, flip and move them around until their skins are completely charred. Transfer the chiles to a resealable plastic bag, seal the bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel, seed and dice the chiles; set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the corn on a baking sheet, brush with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning halfway through, until cooked, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the diced chiles, chili powder, lime zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper and stir. Cook on low for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Transfer the corn to a serving platter (or a foil pan with a cover if transporting) and pour the chili butter over the corn. To serve, garnish with the chopped cilantro.

• Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle swordfish with salt and ground mixed peppercorns. Add swordfish to skillet. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn swordfish over and transfer to oven. Roast until just cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer swordfish to plates. Add seasoned butter to same skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits, until melted and bubbling. Pour butter sauce over swordfish and serve.

ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH BROWN BUTTER CORN SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Break ears of corn in half and stand one half vertically on a cutting board. Using a sawing motion, run a knife between cob and kernels to remove kernels. Using back of knife, scrape denuded cob to release corn's juices. Transfer kernels and juice to a bowl. Repeat with remaining corn. 2. Melt butter in a saucepan; add thyme. Let butter cook until you see golden brown specks in bottom of pan and butter smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Add corn, juices and a large pinch of salt and pepper; stir well and cover pot. Let cook until corn is tender, about 5 minutes. 3. Remove thyme sprigs, add more salt and pepper if desired, and serve hot, alone or as a side dish, garnished with herbs if desired. 4. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season fillets with salt and pepper and place in a baking pan, skin-side down. 5. In a small bowl, mash together the butter, about two-thirds of the garlic, and the lemon zest if using. Smear on top of fish fillets. Roast until cooked through to taste, 7 to 12 minutes depending upon variety of fish and thickness of fillets. 6. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, purée half the brown buttered corn with broth or water, oil, lemon juice and remaining garlic. Stir in remaining corn.

FISH FILLETS WITH BROWN BUTTER (PAN-FRIED)

Steps:

• 2. Lightly dredge fish in flour and shake off excess. (I like to season the flour with salt and pepper as well.)
• 3. When pan is hot, add olive oil followed immediately by 1-2 tablespoons butter.
• 4. When butter is melted, place fish in the pan and jiggle pan for the first 10 seconds to keep the fish from sticking.
• 5. Cook until golden crust forms on meat.
• 6. Carefully turn fish on the other side and again jiggle pan for the first few seconds.
• 7. Cook until skin turns golden brown.
• 8. Remove to a warm plate.
• 9. Pour out the cooking fat from the pan. Then put the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
• 10. Melt them until they become hazel color.
• 11. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and few leaves of thyme or oregano. (you can leave the herbs out)
• 12. Pour the brown butter sauce over the fish fillets and serve.
• 13. *Make sure you pat dry the fillets before working with them. *The cooking time of the fish depends on the thickness of the fillets. *It's better not to cover the fish while frying them so they won't become soggy from the trapped steam.
