Stewy Tomato Poached Fish With Chile Oil and Herbs

December 13, 2020
Stewy Tomato Poached Fish With Chile Oil and Herbs

This recipe comes directly from NYTimes cooking.  Its by one of my favorites, Alison Roman.  What I love about this recipe is that its pretty basic and quick, allowing me to make all kinds of adjustments each time I make it.  And I know you guys out there like to make these recipes your own!

By the way, I've made it so you can leave your comments and pictures at the end of the blog post so others can see!!!

(4 servings)

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 small shallot, thinly sliced into rings
  • 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
  • 1 pound small, sweet tomatoes, halved
  •  Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 1/2 pounds seabass, swordfish or salmon (can mix)
  • 1 cup cilantro, leaves and tender stems
  • ½ cup mint, leaves and tender stems
  •  Limes, halved, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet (use one with a lid) over medium-high. Add garlic and shallots and cook, swirling the skillet constantly until they start to toast and turn light golden brown, 2 minutes or so. Add red-pepper flakes and swirl to toast for a few seconds. Remove from heat and transfer all but 1 tablespoon of the chile oil to a small bowl.
  2. Add tomatoes to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they burst and start to become saucy and jammy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add fish sauce, if using, and 1 1/2 cups water, swirling to release any of the bits stuck on the bottom of the skillet.
  3. Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened but still nice and brothy, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Season the fish with salt and pepper and gently lay the pieces in the brothy tomatoes. Cover the skillet and cook until the fish is opaque and just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes (slightly longer for a thicker piece of fish, like halibut).
  5. To serve, transfer fish and brothy tomatoes to a large shallow bowl or divide among four bowls. Drizzle with reserved chile oil, more olive oil and the crispy shallots and garlic. Top with cilantro and mint, and serve with limes for squeezing over the top. Serve with tortillas, toast or rice, if you like.
