SAFFRON FISH WITH RED PEPPERS AND PRESERVED LEMON
This very flexible recipe is often served by Moroccan Jews and their descendants. Many who moved to France, for example, tend to prepare it with preserved lemons and olives. Others living in Jerusalem, like Danielle Renov, author of "Peas, Love & Carrots" (Mesorah Publications, 2020), might incorporate more spice. (Ms. Renov omits the saffron for Passover.) With the addition of red peppers and tomatoes coming from the Americas, it became the rich Moroccan dish it is today. Traditionally made with white fish, it also works with salmon or shad. Serve this as an appetizer, symbolic of the wish for abundance. Assemble it in the morning and cook it just before serving, or eat the fish at room temperature. For a main course, add quinoa or couscous to soak up the flavorful juices.

Steps:
- Pour 2 cups of boiling water into a bowl and sprinkle with the saffron strands. Use a spoon to press the saffron strands against the side of the bowl to release the flavor. Cover the bowl with a plate and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over low. Add the bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, garlic and cilantro stems, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is transparent.
- Nestle the fish into the vegetables, sprinkle with the paprika, red-pepper flakes (if using), 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the prepared saffron water over everything. (You can do all of this in advance 1 day in advance, and refrigerate until ready to finish.)
- When ready to cook, add the olives and preserved lemon (if using - but if using fresh lemon, that will come in Step 5). Bring the mixture to a boil over high, reduce to low, cover the pan and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, basting the fish every 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro leaves during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Taste for seasoning and serve, setting the fish on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice, if not using the preserved lemon. Serve warm or at room temperature.
SAFFRON-PEPPER SAUCE
Steps:
- Cook a pinch each of saffron and red pepper flakes in a skillet with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup piquillo peppers and cook 3 minutes. Puree with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season with salt.
PAN SEARED SNAPPER IN SAFFRON SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat skillet over medium high flame until it's nice and hot. In the meantime with a sharp knife, score the skin side of the snapper and salt and pepper. Add 1/8 of a cup of the olive oil to skillet. Put the snapper meatside down, sear until you've got a golden crust then turn the fillet over and cook 2 minutes more. Take the fillets out of the skillet and set aside while you saute the fennel in the same skillet for 5 minutes. Set the fennel aside and drain any oil from the skillet. Put remaining 1/8 cup olive oil into skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, saffron, and saute for 1 minute. Deglaze skillet with wine, lemon juice and pernod. When there is almost no liquid left in skillet add fish stock or water. Bring to a simmer and add fennel back to skillet and continue to simmer for 2 more minutes. Put snapper on top of fennel, put skillet in a preheated 425 degree oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven and put fennel on a plate and snapper again on top of fennel. Return skillet to high flame and reduce pan juice by half, remove pan from heat and add butter. Swinging pan until dissolved and sauce has thickened, salt and pepper to taste and spoon around fish and fennel.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Place the shad, skin side down on a rack in a baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Broil the shad, about 6 inches away from the heat source until the top is lightly browned and fish is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes, depending upon how thick it is. (You do not turn it) When done, set on a bed of tomato garnish and serve with buttered spinach or other greens.
SAFFRON SAUCE
Courtesy of my sister, who succeeded in replacing Sauce Hollondaise, which I absolutely don't like, with this fluffy and aromatic gem of a sauce. Goes wonderfully with green or white asparagus, breadsticks, or pretty much everything :).

HALIBUT FILLETS WITH CREAMY SAFFRON SAUCE
If your experience with saffron is that it fades into the background, you have not been cooking with real saffron. There is no easier way to remedy this than to stir it into an uncooked, yogurt-based sauce in which it plays a leading role. (A touch of mild Aleppo pepper is a fine addition, but a pinch of cayenne - just enough to give a suspicion of its presence - also does nicely.) I like this concoction, which takes just a couple of minutes to prepare, with halibut or other mild fish. The halibut can be lightly poached in butter (you don't need much!) or, if you prefer, steamed or baked with no fat, until just tender.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk yogurt together with salt, pepper, Aleppo pepper or cayenne, and shallot. Rub saffron between your fingers to crush it, then stir it into yogurt mixture. Let sit for about 20 minutes (or covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours). Just before serving, add juice, taste, and adjust seasoning.
- Sprinkle halibut with salt and Aleppo pepper or cayenne. Put butter in nonstick skillet large enough to hold halibut, and turn heat to medium. When the butter melts, add fish, and cook gently, turning once or twice, until a thin bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into the thickest part, generally less than 10 minutes.
- Serve fish hot, warm, or at room temperature, with the sauce spooned over it.

Steps:
- Core and remove the seeds from the red peppers. Cut them into 1/4-inch cubes or strips.
- Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the salmon steaks in one layer.
- Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steaks in the pan and cook over high heat until they are lightly browned, about a minute and a half on each side. The time will vary, depending on the thickness of the fish and the doneness desired.
- Transfer the steaks to a warm platter. Leave the cooking butter in the skillet. Add the shallots and the red peppers. Cook, stirring, until wilted.
- Add the wine, reduce by half, add the cream and cook, stirring over medium high heat until reduced again by half. Check the seasoning.
- Add the salmon steaks, the chopped dill and any juices that have accumulated around the steaks, and bring to a simmer. Cook one minute. Do not overcook. Serve immediately with the dill for decoration.

Steps:
- Place the fish, skin side down, in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Cover with the wine, lemon juice, garlic, onion, bay leaf and peppercorns. Marinate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Combine the red peppers, vinegar, saffron, garlic and thyme in a saute pan. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the peppers are barely tender. Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain.
- Transfer the fish to a clean baking dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the marinade over the fish. Pour 1/2 cup of the pepper sauce over the fish. Cover with foil and bake until the small bones dissolve, about 3 to 4 hours.
- Fifteen minutes before serving, heat the remaining sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the fish from the oven. Cut the fillets in half and divide among 4 plates. Spoon the sauce over the shad and serve immediately.
