Delicate Fish with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

January 25, 2012 By Jittery Cook 5 Comments

This recipe exceeded my expectations. It was super fast to prepare. The sauce can be made in advance and the fish can be massaged with the marinade, then kept in the fridge to save time on last-minute meal preparation. I served it with side dishes of grilled Portobello mushrooms and cherry tomatoes as well as quinoa with baby spinach, sautéed onion and toasted pine nuts. Another successful jittery meal. Phew!

Turbot Recipe

Delicate Fish Marinade 

  • 1 1/2 lb firm white-fleshed fish (halibut, scrod, turbot)
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T chopped parsley
  • 2 t lemon zest
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Mix ingredients, then rub on the fish.

Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1/2 – 1 lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 2 T sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (or use oven-dried fresh cherry tomatoes, slow-roasted in a small heavy dutch oven, that you then deglaze with white wine)
  • 1 T parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 t sugar
  • 2 T capers, plus a bit of juice
  • pinch hot pepper flakes
  • pinch kosher salt

Mix sauce ingredients, then set aside in a small bowl. Broil fish for 8 – 10 minutes turning halfway through, or roast at 420F for 10-12 minutes. Remove, serve warm with sauce.

Final notes:

  • Thank you to Susan Schwartz, my source for this recipe, Stephanie Oboler, who gave it to Susan, and Judi Borts, who gave it to Stephanie. Quite an endorsement if a recipe gets passed on and on. This is exactly the kind of recipe I seek.
  • If using halibut steaks, buy 4 medium-sized fillets, 1 1/4″ thick, center cuts.
  • Read A Wicked Scoff to learn more about scrod.
  • If you can figure out what The Walrus blog is going on about in its halibut vs turbot commentary, then you are much smarter than I am.

    This looks delicious! I will try it as soon as we’re done with the fish that’s currently sitting in the fridge, which coincidentally happens to be my next post. I do believe we are cut from the same culinary cloth, because I keep shaking my head in amazement. Are you getting your ingredients out of my pantry or am I getting my ingredients out of of yours? Here’s to lemon zest– Keep it up, H!

      Hey Judy!
      Good to hear from you. We’re following your political debates on TV. Canadians are more interested in US politics than our own!
      You’ll love this dish. It’s a keeper!
      Let’s just say we could feed each other anytime.
