1 lime or lemon, juice of
1/2 cup Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp ghee or unsalted melted butter (if you like it buttery, then add up to 1/2 cup)
2 shallots, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly-sliced
2 tbsp capers
1 tsp seasoned salt, or to your taste
3/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp ground cumin

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil and melted butter with a dash of seasoned salt. Stir in the shallots, garlic and capers.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the seasoned salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder. Spice fish fillets each on both sides.
Place the fish fillets on a lightly-oiled large baking pan or dish. Cover with the buttery lime mixture you prepared earlier. Now arrange the green onion halves and lime slices on top.
Bake in 375 degrees F-heated oven for 10-15 minutes. Do not overcook.
Remove the fish fillets from the oven and garnish with the chopped fresh dill.
Serve next to white rice or roasted Greek potatoes and a simple Mediterranean salad.

Categories main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 fillets of lemon sole
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1 1/2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon Calabrian chili paste
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

Using a paper towel, dry the sole fillets very well. Season the fish evenly with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. When the butter is fully melted and the bubbles have subsided, dredge both sides of 2 fillets in the flour. Shake off the excess flour and add the fish to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium high. Cook the fillets until beginning to brown around the edges on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a fish spatula, flip the fish gently and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove the fillets to a plate and continue with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter and fish.
When all 4 fillets are cooked and out of the skillet, add the capers and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice and stir, scraping up the bits from the bottom. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Finish the sauce by stirring in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, chili paste and oregano. Spoon the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

BLACK OLIVE AND CAPER PASTE

Black Olive and Caper Paste image

You only need a tablespoon or so per serving of fish. Whatever paste is leftover can be spread on toast rounds and served as appetizers. I have also used this on pizza to give the crust a different twist!!

ROASTED PEPPERS WITH CAPERS, OLIVES AND ANCHOVY

Roasted Peppers With Capers, Olives and Anchovy image

A fresh sweet pepper roasted at home can be revelatory. The flames of an outdoor grill, stovetop burner or broiler add a touch of smokiness, while helping to remove a pepper's tough skin. To prevent the pepper from overcooking, do not place it in a closed container after roasting, as some suggest - just let it cool uncovered on a plate. The skin will still come off and the flesh won't be mushy. The combination of sweet pepper and salty anchovy is classic. Serve this carpaccio-style, using a whole pepper to cover the plate, or arrange in alternating rows.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 red bell or other large sweet peppers, such as Corno di Toro
Kosher salt and black pepper
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1 small garlic clove, grated
Extra-virgin olive oil
12 anchovy fillets, rinsed and blotted
1 teaspoon capers
12 black olives
Basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

Roast the peppers: Place each pepper directly on the flames of a stovetop burner or under the broiler as close to the flames as possible. (Alternatively, place the pepper on a hot charcoal or gas grill.) Turning frequently with tongs, allow the skin to blacken and blister all over; About 10 minutes should suffice. Remove from flames, and leave to rest on a plate until cool enough to handle. Ideally, you should cook all the peppers at once rather than one at a time.
Cut the roasted pepper in half lengthwise. Using a small knife, scrape away and discard seeds. Turn over and scrape away the blackened skin. Wipe with a paper towel, if necessary. Do not rinse - a little char is fine. Leave the pepper halves in one piece or cut into strips 3/4-inch wide. Place in a small bowl, toss with salt and pepper, red-pepper flakes, garlic and a little olive oil. Leave to marinate at least 10 minutes.
Lay pepper halves or strips flat on a plate and add 3 or 4 anchovy fillets per serving. Garnish with a few capers and olives. Sprinkle with a little more salt and olive oil, and scatter basil leaves over the top.
