Fish In A Blanket Recipes

FISH IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• 1. Take the fish fillets and rinse well. Take a baggie and put fish in with the lemon juice and lemon wedges with some very cold water, about 1/4 cup and set in fridge.
• 2. Make the guacomole. Take diced avocado, red onion, salt & pepper, garlic powder and lime juice and mix together. Set aside.
• 3. Put seasoning mix together and put onto a dish large enough to bread fish fillets.
• 4. Drain baggie and remove lemon slices. Pat dry fish fillets with a paper towel. Heat a large skillet and add EVOO.
• 5. Dredge fish fillets in seasoning mix. When pan is heated, add fish fillets. Cook fillets 3 minutes on one side and flip over. Add diced tomatoes to pan and crystal hot sauce. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes carefully watching the pan, tomato will break down and a sauce will develop. Add whites of the green onion stem (save green for garnish) and turn heat down to low and simmer until fillets are soft and starting to flake.
• 6. In another skillet, heat a skillet with a dash of EVOO. When heated add one or two corn tortillas. After 1 minute turn over to other side. Watch carefully so they do not burn. Put onto a plate with paper towel and cover to keep warm. Remove guacomole from fridge.
• 7. After all fish is cooked, remove from pan and put onto a plate, use fork to flake apart. Pour pan sauce into a small bowl.
• 8. Assemble. Take corn tortilla in palm of your hand, like holding a little blanket, and add flaked fish, some pan sauce, guacomole and squeeze lime juice on top. Add green tops of onion. Garnishes: You can add shredded lettuce or extra diced fresh tomato on top if you like. Sour cream and shredded cheese are options also. Enjoy!

FIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Cut a sheet of thawed frozen puff pastry lengthwise into five strips, then cut crosswise into thirds to make 15 rectangles. Slice each rectangle diagonally to make 30 triangles. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese onto each triangle and top with a quartered fig. Wrap the pastry around the fig and press to seal. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with beaten egg and bake at 400˚ until puffed and golden, 18 to 20 minutes.

FISH STICKS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F and unroll dough separating the 16 strips.
• Wrap cheese half and one strip of dough around each Gorton's Classic Breaded Fish Sticks, bake 20 minutes, let sit for 2-3 minutes and serve immediately.

FIGS-IN-A-BLANKET WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and 1 cup water in a medium pot. Add figs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until figs are softened and liquid has almost evaporated and is a syrupy consistency, 7-10 minutes. Transfer figs to a plate; let cool.
• Beat egg with 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. If using a 14-ounce package with 1 sheet of pastry, roll pastry to an 18x12" rectangle on a lightly floured surface. If using a 17-ounce package with 2 sheets of pastry, roll each sheet to a 12x9" rectangle. Cut pastry along the 12" side into 12 (1-inch-wide) strips. Cut each strip crosswise into pieces about 4 1/2" long. You should have 48 (4 1/2x1") strips pastry.
• Scoop a heaping 1/2 tsp. cheese and press into cut side of 1 fig half. Place fig half in the center of 1 pastry strip. Brush 1 end of pastry with egg wash and roll to enclose. Transfer seam side down to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining cheese, figs, and pastry. Brush top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds, if using. Bake pastries, rotating and switching sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and puffed, 15-18 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Figs can be cooked 2 days ahead; cover and chill.
