Bacon Fish Oleekie Recipes

Steps:

• Put the leek in a large microwave dish with 4 tbsp of the stock. Cover the dish with cling film, pierce the film with a knife, then microwave on High for 5 mins.
• Uncover the dish, then stir the rice and remaining stock into the leek. Re-cover with cling film, pierce and microwave on High for another 10 mins, stirring halfway through until the rice is very nearly cooked.
• Gently stir in the fish chunks, cover the dish with cling film again, then pierce and cook for a further 5 mins until the fish flakes easily and the rice is tender. Stir in the parsley, lemon zest and juice. Leave to stand for 2 mins before serving.

Steps:

• Lightly season both sides of the fish fillets with salt. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup parsley with the red-pepper flakes, garlic and thyme. Zest the lemon into the bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Transfer the fish to the bowl and turn to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. (The fish can be covered tightly and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.) Cut the zested lemon into 8 wedges and set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until crispy, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bacon drippings in the skillet. Lay the marinated fish fillets in an even layer (skin-side down if your fillets are skin-on) and cover fish with any leftover marinade from the bowl. Cook until the fish is firm, opaque and flakes easily when poked with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a serving platter; keep the skillet on the stove.
• Lower the heat to medium, and add the shallots and reserved bacon. Cook, stirring, until the shallots soften, about 2 minutes. Add the corn, stir and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and squeeze in the juice from 3 lemon wedges. Add the remaining 1/4 cup chopped parsley, stir and spoon over the fish. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing.

Steps:

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add onion to bacon fat; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in shallow dish, mix Bisquick mix and cornmeal. In another shallow dish, beat egg. Dip fish into egg, then coat with Bisquick mixture.
• Remove onion from skillet with slotted spoon; set aside. Place fish in skillet with bacon fat. Cook over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned.
• Add tomatoes to skillet. Reduce heat; simmer about 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Top fish with bacon and onion before serving.
