Best Poached Fish And Vegetables With Garlic Mayonnaise Recipes

POACHED FISH AND VEGETABLES WITH GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Begin poaching the fish and vegetables at least 3 hours before serving. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Meanwhile, place fish in a skillet or saucepan, and cover with water. Add a large pinch of salt, and turn heat to medium high. When water boils, lower heat, simmer fish for 8 to 10 minutes or until a thin-bladed knife inserted into the center meets little resistance. Remove fish with a slotted spoon to a plate, cover loosely, and refrigerate.
• Add carrots and potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Cook until tender, then remove with slotted spoon. Run under cold water. Refrigerate. Cook beans in the same water. When crisp-tender, drain and plunge beans into a bowl of ice water. Refrigerate.
• To make aioli, combine egg, cayenne, saffron, garlic, lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the oil in a blender or a food processor. Turn on machine, and begin adding remaining oil in a thin, steady stream. As mixture thickens, add oil a bit faster, blending until emulsion is thick. Taste, adjust seasoning, and chill.
• Serve fish and vegetables cold, passing aioli at table, along with some crusty bread.

POACHED SALT COD WITH VEGETABLES AND GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• A vegetable steamer
• 6-quart pasta pot fitted with a colander
• One or 2 days before preparing the final dish-depending upon the saltiness of the fish-place the salt cod in a bowl of cold water and soak, covered, in the refrigerator. Change the water three or four times during the soaking period to remove excess salt. Drain and rinse the fish.
• Place the cod in a large saucepan. Add fresh cold water to cover, along with the orange zest, fennel branches or quarters, onion pricked with cloves, and peppercorns, and bring just to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately remove the pan from the heat. Cover and let stand for at least 15 minutes. Drain well and discard the flavorings. Scrape any fatty skin off the fish and remove any bones. Tear the fish into large pieces and arrange on a platter.
• Cooking each vegetable separately, steam the beets, potatoes, and carrots. Peel and halve or quarter the beets and arrange on a separate platter for just the vegetables. Add the potatoes to the platter. Halve the carrots lengthwise and arrange on the platter.
• Separately blanch, refresh, and drain the cauliflower and green beans. Arrange the cauliflower and beans on the platter. Arrange the eggs around the edges of the platter. Bring the platters to the table and serve with the sauce.

SALSA ALIOLI (GARLIC MAYONNAISE)

Steps:

• Pound and crush the garlic with a pinch of salt to a paste in a mortar, or chop finely using the flat part of your knife to crush the garlic and salt into a smooth paste. This may take a few minutes but it is essential that the garlic is perfectly smooth and that no chunks remain before starting to make the aioli. Transfer to a bowl, add the egg yolks and whisk to blend. Still whisking, slowly pour in a quarter of the olive oil, a few drops at a time, until the sauce starts to acquire some body, and then pour in the rest of the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, until it becomes a creamy thick sauce. To finish, add in the lemon juice, plus an extra squeeze of lemon juice to taste, and the hot water. Stir well and serve. If not serving right away, store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.

PROVENçAL POACHED COD AND VEGETABLES WITH GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare the court bouillon: In a large soup pot over high heat, combine the court bouillon ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook until the carrots are almost tender, about 20 minutes. To make the aioli: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and garlic. Add the olive oil in a thin steady stream, whisking it into the mayonnaise. Sprinkle generously with pepper. To prepare the fish and vegetables: Add the saffron, zucchini, leeks, peppers, and scallions to the broth, making sure everything is covered by the broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low or low and cook at a bare simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the fish and olive oil and simmer for another 5 to 6 minutes, until the fish is opaque throughout and flakes. To serve: Lift the fish and vegetables from the broth with a slotted spoon and divide among individual plates. Baste with a little of the broth. Garnish with aioli.

POACHED SALMON & ASPARAGUS WITH WILD GARLIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For the mayonnaise, bring a pan of water to the boil and have a bowl of iced water ready. Plunge the garlic leaves into the boiling water for 30 secs, then lift out with a slotted spoon and drop into the iced water - this helps to keep the green colour. Leave for a few mins, then pat dry and put in a mini food processor with the egg yolks and mustard. Pulse until finely chopped, then scrape into a big mixing bowl. Pour the oils into a jug.
• Whisk the yolks mixture with an electric whisk. Slowly add the oil, first a drip at a time, then in a steady, thin drizzle - the mixture should thicken and start to look like mayonnaise. If at any point it starts to look greasy, add 1 tbsp cold water and continue whisking until all the oil has been added and you have a thick mayonnaise. Add the vinegar and season with salt and white pepper. Lay cling film directly onto the surface of the mayonnaise so a skin doesn't form, then chill. Will keep for 3 days in the fridge.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a large sheet of baking parchment in a large roasting tin and arrange the asparagus in a line that's long enough for the salmon to sit on. Season, put the salmon on top and scatter over the lemon zest. Thinly slice the remaining lemon and put the slices on top of the salmon with the butter. Pour over the lemon juice and season. Bring the sides of the parchment up and over the salmon and scrunch together to seal, creating a tent over the fish. Bake in the oven for 30 mins.
• Bring the roasting tin to the table, open the parcel, and serve with a bowl of wild garlic mayonnaise and some new potatoes on the side.

MAYONNAISE BAKED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place fish, in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
• In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, butter, onion, cheese, lemon juice, Old Bay, and pepper. Mix until a thick paste is formed.
• Spread mixture evenly over fish filets, then top with bread crumbs.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, or until fish is flaky.
• To finish cooking, place fish under the broiler, for another 2-3 minutes, or until fish is golden brown.

MEDITERRANEAN POACHED FISH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, red pepper, and garlic. Cook about 6 minutes, until softened, stirring so garlic does not burn.
• Stir in tomatos, wine, capers, olives, lemon zest and juice, oregano, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil. Add fish and cook, covered, over medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Gently turn fish halfway through cooking.

POACHED VEGETABLES FOLLOWED BY POACHED FISH

Steps:

• Put a tablespoon or so of salt in a medium (say 6-quart) saucepan and add enough water to cover whatever you might cook. Bring to a boil.
• Add the carrots, reduce the heat so the water bubbles gently (cover partly) and cook until just tender, about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove, plunge into ice water (or at least cold running water). When cool, drain and put in a plastic container or sealable bag.
• Potatoes: Same treatment. About 15 minutes, again depending on size. Fennel, green beans: Ditto. Five minutes or less for each.
• Shrimp or fish: No different really, except if you're cooking white fish, undercook it a bit so it doesn't fall apart. Shrimp just has to turn pink, really. Cooking time for shrimp, scallops, squid: 2 minutes or so. For fillets (nothing too thin, or they will fall apart): 5 minutes or so.
