Fish Roll With Compound Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• On your counter top lay out a sheet of parchment paper and top it with a layer of plastic wrap.
• Lay out your fillets of salmon, tails away from you.
• Overlap the fillets of flounder about 1-inch over the tails of the salmon.
• Then place the scallops on a metal skewer and set at the end of the flounder furthest from you.
• Sprinkle the herbs over the fish and season with salt and pepper.
• Using the plastic wrap pull the fish towards you so that the plastic begins to pull the flounder over the scallops.
• Be sure not to roll the plastic into the fish roll.
• Use a sheet pan to push the roll tightly as you pull the plastic toward you.
• The roll should be tight and you should be able to remove the sheet of plastic.
• Then roll the fish in the parchment away from you so it is covered and can be place into the refrigerator.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For Compound Butter: In a large bowl using a wooden spoon mix all ingredients.
• Place the mixture on a piece of parchment and fold the parchment over itself.
• Pull to form a roll and twist the ends.
• Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set up.
• Preheat your broiler.
• Remove the metal skewer and slice the roulade into 3/4 to 1-inch rounds.
• Place onto a broiler pan remove paper once on pan and brush each round with canola oil.
• Put under the broiler for 3 to 6 minutes depending on how well done you like your fish.
• Serve with 1 slice of compound butter on each fish roll.

Steps:

• Chop the butter into uniform chunks using the dough scraper.
• Place the oil into the food processor and add the chives. Process until the chives are finely chopped. Add the remaining herbs and blend until the herbs have colored the oil. Using the whisk attachment, whip the butter in the mixer?s work bowl at medium speed until it softens and lightens in color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the herb oil to the butter and beat for another 2 minutes until oil is fully incorporated. Remove butter from bowl and spoon onto parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log, using the edge of a baking sheet to form a tight log. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
