Fish Baked In A Dough Jacket Recipes

Steps:

• If needed, scale and gut fish. Cut off head behind gills/dorsal fins, and cut off the tail.
• Wipe fish dry with a paper towel. Rub inside and out with salt and pepper and put in the refrigerator.
• Put flour, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• Whisk egg, milk and water in a separate bowl. Add about half to the flour bowl and knead to make a soft dough. Add a little more liquid if needed,.
• Move dough to a floured work surface and kneed until smooth. Cut into two pieces, one a little larger than the other.
• Roll the smaller piece so that it is larger than the fish, with about 2 cm (1 1/2 in) border on all sides. Place on a greased baking sheet and put the fish on top, centered.
• Roll the larger piece of dough until it is large enough to drape over the fish and still have 2 cm (1 1/2 in) of border. Don't put it on the fish yet.
• Apply some warm water on the border area of the lower piece of dough. Place top dough on the fish and press the border areas together to form a seal.
• Allow to rise for 30 minutes.
• Brush the remaining egg/milk/water onto the dough to form a glaze. Bake 30 minutes at 180 C (350 F).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Lightly butter 1 sheet of phyllo dough. Lay another sheet directly on top of the first sheet, and lightly butter it. Repeat with remaining 2 sheets of phyllo. Cut sheets in half.
• Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Place a fillet near the bottom edge of one of the halved sheets of phyllo. Sprinkle with dill. Fold in the sides of the phyllo, then roll the fillet. Place on a baking sheet, and lightly brush with butter. Repeat with remaining fillet.
• Bake in a preheated oven until pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring lemon juice to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Boil until almost evaporated. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in cream. Simmer until the cream thickens somewhat. Stir in green onions, and season with salt and pepper. Serve halibut on a pool of sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat.
• Add the celery, leeks, carrots, and a pinch of salt and white pepper, and sauté until the vegetables start to cook down.
• Add the cream and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook until the cream is thickened.
• Remove the pan from the heat.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out both sheets of puff pastry until they are ⅓-inch thick. Transfer one sheet of puff pastry to the baking sheet.
• Cut the sea bass along the back to remove the spine, then butterfly open. Season with salt, pepper, and the tarragon.
• Scoop the cooked vegetables onto one side of the fish, then fold over the other fillet.
• Transfer the fish to the center of the sheet of puff pastry.
• Brush egg wash around the fish, then lay on the second sheet of puff pastry, pressing around the fish to seal. Use a paring knife to cut away the excess puff pastry in the shape of a fish.
• Brush the top of the puff pastry with egg wash and use the leftover pastry scraps to decorate the fish with an eye and gills. Use the tip of the knife or the large opening of a pastry tip to draw scales on the body and tail.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Make the Chive Butter Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the wine, lemon juice, shallots, and tarragon. Reduce until only a ¼ cup (60 ml) of liquid remains. Add the cream and reduce until the mixture thickens slightly.
• Slowly whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, until the sauce is glossy and thickened.
• Remove the tarragon stem and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chives.
• Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃). When the oven is heated. Bake the fish for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
• Transfer the fish to a platter and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
• To serve, cut the fish into individual portions and plate with a drizzle of Chive Butter Sauce.
• Enjoy!
