Wine Baked Onions With Herbed Crumb Topping Recipes

BAKED SEABASS WITH HOMEMADE GARLIC BUTTER AND HERB BREAD CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pulse the bread in a food processor to get slightly coarse bread crumbs.
• Coat a casserole dish just large enough to hold the fillets with 1 tablespoon butter. Place the fillets in the dish and season with salt, pepper, lemon zest and juice, and thyme leaves.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet with the smashed garlic. As soon as the butter starts to bubble, turn off the heat and let the garlic infuse the warm butter.
• Remove the garlic chunks from the butter. Add the bread crumbs and lightly toss until all the butter has been absorbed. Turn the heat off, stir in the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Spread a layer of bread crumb mixture over the top of each fillet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until bread crumbs are golden brown and fish is cooked through.

HERB-ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the stem end of each onion and carefully slice off the brown part of the root end, leaving the root intact. Peel the onion. Stand each onion root end up on a cutting board and cut the onion in wedges through the root. Place the wedges in a bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Pour the dressing over the onions and toss well.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a sheet pan, reserving the vinaigrette that remains in the bowl. Bake the onions for 30 to 45 minutes, until tender and browned. Toss the onions once during cooking. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with the reserved dressing. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.

BAKED SCROD WITH LEMON HERB PANKO CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a skillet, saute the onion in 1 teaspoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of butter until soft but not browned.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the panko crumbs with the parsley and 1 teaspoon of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and the juice of half the lemon.
• Once the onions are soft, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
• Add to the onions, the juice of 1/2 the lemon (or more!) and the white wine and continue to cook for 1 minute.
• Spread the onion and lemon mixture into individual baking dishes or one baking dish large enough to snuggly hold all the fish.
• Place the fish on top of the onions and season the fish with salt and pepper and a little spray of olive oil.
• Divide the crumb topping evenly over the fish and sprinkle with parsley and give a light spray of olive oil.
• Bake for about 20 minutes until fish is cooked through and the crumbs are nicely browned.
• Cover with tinfoil half way through baking if the top is browning to fast.
