That sounds Fishy...

            Foil-baked Fish with Black Beans and Corn

This is basically a glorified version of the hobo dinner that I grew up eatingThe fish is coated in a compound butter made with chipotles, garlic, and orange zest, then cooked atop a bed of black beans and corn.

The butter melts into the fish, leaving it super flavorful, and then all the juices run down into the veggies underneath.  This is a super-simple dinner that was ready in no time flat! Delish!
Ingredients

• 4 skinless white fish fillets (6 to 8 oz. each) and 1-inch thick
• Salt and pepper
• 4 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tsp minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
• 1 tsp grated orange zest
• 2 Tbs. freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (16-oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups corn kernels
• 1/2 red onion, minced
• 2 scallions, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Make It…

1.  Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position. Heat to 450 

2.  Pat fish dry with paper towels. Season with salt/pepper.  Using a fork, mix the butter, 1 tsp. chipotle, orange zest, half the garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl until well-combined.  Spread butter mixture over the fish.

3.  Combine the beans, corn, onion, scallions, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, orange juice, remaining chipotle, remaining garlic, scallions, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a bowl.

4.  Lay four 14-inch lengths of foil on the counter and divide the bean mixture evenly over the lower half of each piece of foil.  Top with fish, and fold the foil over the fish, folding the edges to seal.

5.  Arrange the packets in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.  Carefully open the packets and sprinkle with remaining cilantro.  Serve.Source:  America's Test Kitchen, The Best Simple Recipes

Balsamic Orange Ginger Glazed Cod

This Fish…is everything that it’s cracked up to be.  A very light and perfectly seasoned fish while having a little sauce to drizzle over – or onto a bed of rice! This is Fish that is company worthy for sure!

I used the foil/packet method of cooking this fish. I am not quite sure why, it just seemed like the right thing to do. Truth be known… I was saving myself a little clean up.

Gather

·      1 package sablefish (black cod), thawed

·      2 tbs. honey

·      1 tbs. balsamic vinegar

·      2 tbs. soy sauce

·      1 tbs. orange zest

·      3 tbs. orange juice

·      1 tsp. ginger, minced

·      2 tbs. grape seed oil, or whatever oil you like to use

·      salt to taste

·      pepper to taste

·      aluminum foil, recommended

Step by Step

1.   Preheat the oven to 450.

2.  Find a baking dish and lay and oversized piece of foil in it. Big enough to set the fish inside while still having the edges protrude.

3.  Lay pieces of fish in the middle and add ingredients on top.

4. Add a second piece of foil over the top sealing the edges by folding (alternating the sides).

5.  Place packet of fish (without the baking dish) in oven for 16 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. It flakes beautifully and tastes even better.

6. Enjoy.

        Balsamic 
   Glazed Salmon

Here is a 30 minute dish you seriously don’t want to miss out on! It might have a little something to do with the fact that I’m obsessed with balsamic vinegar.  The Glaze is… HEAVEN!!

If you…like me, don’t drink Wine and only use it for cooking, you can simply pour the remainder into ice trays and freeze it into individual cubes to reserve for a later cooking use. 

Ingredients

Balsamic Rosemary Glaze

• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup white wine (optional)… but it makes the dish
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard (I like Emeril's)
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary, divided
• 1 cloves garlic, finely minced

Salmon

• 4 (6 oz.) Salmon fillets
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tsp. canola oil, divided

Directions

1.   Allow salmon to rest 10 minutes at room temperature.

2.  Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine balsamic vinegar, white wine, honey, Dijon mustard, 1/2 Tbsp. of the chopped rosemary and the garlic. Heat mixture over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer over medium-low heat until sauce has thickened and reduced to 1/3 cup, about 13 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3.  Remove from heat and pour into a heat proof dish (using a rubber spatula to get it all out) and allow to cool.

4. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp of canola oil. Once pan and oil are hot, add 2 salmon fillets and cook, without moving, until salmon has nicely browned on bottom, about 3 - 5 minutes.

5.  Carefully flip salmon to opposite side and continue to cook 3 - 5 minutes longer until bottom is browned and salmon has cooked through. Rest in a warm oven (don't rest it in a hot oven; you don't want to continue to cook it.) If you have to skillets I would recommend just using both and cooking all of the salmon at once. Wipe skillet clean, add remaining 1 tsp oil, once hot repeat process with remaining 2 salmon fillets.

6. Serve warm… Drizzling each fillet with balsamic rosemary glaze and sprinkling tops with remaining 1/2 Tbsp. of rosemary.
