Pesce Al Forno Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F, spray 9X13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cover the bottom of the dish with potatoes and onions in alternating rows.
• Place fish on top and sprinkle with rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper, then drizzle with the oil.
• Cover with foil and bake, occasionally basting with pan juices until potatoes are tender and fish is opaque in the center, 50-55 minutes.
• Pour wine over fish and bake, uncovered, 3-5 minutes longer.
• Serve at once.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until golden, taking care not to burn it. Add the tomato puree and bring to a simmer. Add the scallops and shrimp and cook until the scallops are tender and the shrimp are pink, 2 about minutes. Add the clam juice, wine, sun-dried tomatoes and thyme and sautee until the sauce begins to thicken, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the pasta to the pan and turn the heat to low; toss until the pasta is coated with the sauce. Add the butter and parsley and toss until the butter is melted. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven (425°F, 220°C).
• In a suited oven proved dish melt 1 tablespoon butter in the olive oil.
• Cut the lemon into slices.
• Clean sea bass and sprinkle some salt into the cavity and also 1 sprig sage.
• Coat the fin tail completely with salt. This looks pretty and will avoid the fin tail from burning while baking.
• Turn the fish in the butter-olive oil mixture on both sides and put fish into the dish. Slightly salt and pepper the upper side.
• Put fish in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Take fish out of the oven and turn it over. Arrange the four remaining sage sprigs around and under the fish. Add the lemon slices, but put them more on the border of the dish.
• Now cover the upper side with the bread crumbs and press them slightly on the fish, so that they stick better.
• Arrange the remaining tablespoon of butter on the breadcrumbs and put the fish again into the oven for another 10 minutes or until fish is done.
• Fish is done, when dorsal fin can be removed easily.
• Serve very hot with the butter still sizzling.
• Note on BREAD CRUMBS: I make them on my own, because for this dish they should be coarse. Take dried white bread and cut it into very thin slices. Then break it into larger bread crumbs.
• Note on the oven proved dish: I use an oven proved serving platter for this recipe. So I can serve it right out of the oven. An oven proved pan gives it a more rustic view.
