Yellow Tail Rockfish Recipes

PANKO CRUSTED ROCKFISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Place a large oven safe skillet into the oven and preheat to 425 degrees.
• In a large bowl combine together the the flour, salt and pepper. Stir then pour onto a large plate.
• In the same bowl combine together the panko, seasoning blend, and parmesan cheese. Stir then pour onto a large plate.
• Wipe out the bowl, then use it again to whisk together the egg and milk.
• Check the fish fillets for any bones and remove as necessary. Slice fish in half if necessary.***
• Dredge fish first in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Dip fish into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
• Coat fish in the panko mixture, shaking off any excess. Place on a clean plate and allow to rest 1 - 2 minutes so the panko can adhere.
• When the oven and frying pan are preheated, add the 2 tablespoons of oil to the hot pan. Allow to heat 1 minute. Carefully add fish fillets to the hot oil.
• Cook in the oven for 3 - 4 minutes, then carefully flip over.
• Cook an additional 3 - 4 minutes, then check with a meat thermometer for an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees.
• While fish cook, set up a cooling rack over a couple layers of paper towels.
• Remove fish from the pan and place on the cooling rack. Allow to drain 3 - 5 minutes prior to serving.

PAN-ROASTED FISH FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a heavy 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the fillets in the pan, skin side down (if applicable), laying them down away from your body. If fillets have skin, press down gently with a spatula for about 20 seconds to prevent curling.
• Lower heat to medium and let sizzle until fish is golden and caramelized around edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip fillets and add butter and thyme to pan. Tilt pan slightly to let the melted butter pool at one end. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the pooled butter. Continue basting until golden all over and cooked through, 45 to 90 seconds more, depending on the thickness of your fish. Serve immediately with chopped parsley (if using) and lemon wedges.

YELLOW TAIL ROCKFISH

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the white wine, Grand Marnier, and grated ginger. Bring to a boil, and reduce the mixture by one half. Strain, and set aside to cool slightly. Whisk the reduction into the hollandaise sauce, and mix in orange juice concentrate. 2. Preheat your oven's broiler. Place the filets onto a baking sheet, and dot each one with one teaspoon of butter, sprinkle with a pinch of thyme, and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of orange juice. 3. Broil the fillets for 3 to 5 minutes, or until just barely done. Fish should be opaque and flake with a fork. Ladle sauce onto plates, and place yellowtail fillets onto sauce.
