Spoon salsa over.
FENNEL?
With its rounded pale green bulb, short stems, and feathery green
leaves, fennel could be mistaken for a plump bunch of celery. The
texture, too, is similar, but fennel's flavor emphatically sets it apart
from celery and other stalk vegetables. The overlapping layers of bulb,
the stems, and the leaves all impart a mild sweet flavor akin to
licorice or anise. Because of its taste, fennel is called "anise" in
many markets; however, the vegetable is an entirely different plant from
the herb anise, which is grown for its seeds and the oil secreted by its
leaves (both of which are used as flavorings.) A member of the parsley
family, fennel is also known as sweet fennel, Florence fennel, and,
finocchio. Widely used in Italian cooking and the cuisine of Provence,
fennel is becoming more widely appreciated in the U.S. Like celery, it
is filling and yet very low in calories, so that it provides an
excellent snack food for weight watchers. It is also well suited to
cooking.

Yellowtail al Vino Bianco
Pour 2
tablespoons of olive oil in pan on medium-high. Add a yellowtail fillet
and sear on one side. Flip the fillet and add to the surrounding edge,
1 tablespoon chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped shallot and 2
tablespoons of chopped chives. Saute approximately one minute or until
garlic is soft but not brown. Remove the fillet and place over some
pasta. Add 1/2 cup white wine to the pan, set on medium-low until
wine reduces completely. Remove from heat, incorporate 1
tablespoon heavy whipping cream and whisk in 4 tablespoons of unsalted
butter! Double
this recipe for two! If your fish fillet is thick and not cooked
complete in the middle, place it in a shallow pan and finish it off in
the oven. You can use this basic Vino Bianco sauce for just about
anything. Try it with some shrimp, scallops or squid... or all of
it and make Seafood al Vino Bianco!

Tommy Lee's Reduced Fat
Fried Fish
Toss some
Panko, that’s Japanese bread crumbs found in the Oriental section of
your Grocer, with some sesame seeds in the oven on a cookie sheet to
toast. Be sure to watch it because once it starts to toast you
want to toss it a couple of times. Put it in a bowl and add only a
little light olive oil to make the mixture damp. If you want to add
some other flavor, try a little garlic powder, fresh grated ginger, or
finely chopped cilantro. Dip your fish in beaten eggs then roll in
the crumbs. Brown it on both sides on the stove top and then finish it
off in an oven at about 375 degrees. The top will be crisp and the
oil will be reduced. So, next time you want fried fish with less
fat....try it!

Calico Bass Enchiladas
First, prepare 8 or 10 calico bass fillets,
rinse them off in fresh water and remove any little bones and pat dry.
In a large skillet, sauté in olive oil, some chopped green onions (1 cup),
minced garlic (4 cloves) and chopped cilantro (1/2 cup). Add
the fish and cover. Let the fish absorb the flavors. Once it's
opaque, you don't want to over cook it cuz we'll be putting it in the oven
later. Remove it from the heat and let it cool. Drain any excess
liquid.
Take a 9x13 glass casserole dish and spray it with cooking spray.
Bust open a can of Green or Red Enchilada Sauce (about 28 oz.), pour about
half the can in a bowl for dipping the tortillas.
Coat the bottom of the pan with some of the sauce. Take 6 corn
tortillas dip them in the sauce, this will give them a moist coating.
Layer the tortillas on the bottom of the dish.
On top of that place the fish mixture, spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix about a cup of sour cream and a cup of cottage
cheese together. Add some chili oil or Mexican seasoning to the
mixture, taste it ... make it as spicy as you like. Layer that
mixture on top of the fish.
Take a entire can of Whole Ortega Chilies, butterfly them out, and
lay them out to form another layer, add a layer of sliced black olives,
some more sauce, a layer of shredded jack cheese (2 cups), some more
soaked tortillas, some shredded cheddar cheese (2 cups), some more black
olives and finally drizzle what's left of the sauce over the top.
Pop it in the oven and let in bake for about 45 minutes or until it's
brown on top....
Let it cool and enjoy. Since it's like a mini meal, it's great to
serve with just a salad.
This recipe comes from Bev Roberts of Dana
Point, CA. Bev is a "Extreme Lady Angler" and a great cook!

Trout Grenoblaise
or any white meat fish - calico bass, rockfish, whitefish, etc.
(For all those fishing the Irvine Lake Derby!)
Start with
clean, scaled, deboned (if possible) trout. 5 little ones or 3 medium or
if your lucky 1 big one! Soak your trout in milk for about 15 minutes, this will keep your meat
white and flakey. Drain it. Dredge your fish lightly in plain
all purpose flour. Place about ¼ a cup clarified butter (see below),
not oil, in a hot pan big enough to fit your fish.
Sauté your fish on both sides until
golden brown, remove from the pan and pour off only the fat from the pan,
keeping all those crumbs in the pan.
NOW THE SAUCE TO DIE FOR!
Deglaze, that means pour into your hot pan, ¼ cup of white wine, the juice
of three lemons, the zest from those three lemons, and a medium diced
shallot. Keeping your pan on to low heat, you want to stir that until it
seems like everything is dry. Add ½ cup of capers, lightly stir. Take a ¼ cup, that’s a ½ a stick of butter, and start adding it to the
sauce in small chunks... this will thicken your sauce. Pour that over
your trout and sprinkler with some chopped parsley.
This was one of my favorite recipes at culinary school, it’s a very easy
basic French sauce. If you add chopped almonds, it’s a Amandine! add
Grapes and it’s Veronique!
CLARIFIED BUTTER:
Take an entire brick or more of butter. Place it in a
pan on low heat, do not boil! Let it melt down. Remove the
foamy top. Scoop out the center, the clear liquid, this is your
clarified butter. Put it in a separate container. Be sure not to tap
the bottom of the pan or stir... this will bring all the solids into your
clarified butter. If you have ever just tossed butter in the pan,
like frying eggs, you notice it burns quick – it’s not the butter burning
but the solids. You can now use your clarified butter or place the
container in the fridge and use as needed

Rockfish Ceviche
In
the first bowl, take about a pound of your rockfish fillets; make sure
there are no bones, cut into small ½ inch or smaller pieces. Mix the fish
with the juice of 6 -8 limes. All the fish should be coated, sprinkle
with salt, cover and place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
In
the second bowl, chop into small pieces, the finer the better: one onion,
2-4 jalapenos (remove seeds to turn down the heat), 1 bunch of cilantro, 4
tomatoes or a couple cans of diced tomatoes, 2 avocados drizzled with
lime juice, 2-4 finely diced carrots. For a salad flair add cubed
cucumber. Place this in the fridge.
When your ready to combine, rinse and strain the rockfish in a colander
drizzle with a little olive oil and toss. Add the fish to the veggies.

Worcestershire sauce. Taste it and adjust with more limejuice, salt,
etc. Serve it with some tostada shells or crackers.

Caldeirada
(Fish Soup)
Take out a wide bottom pot and place it on medium heat.
Add a splash of olive oil. Finely chop 4 garlic cloves and one
jalapeno and add it to the pot. Sauté until it starts to sizzle.
Add a bay leaf if you like. Chunky cut 1 large or 2 small onions and
3 green peppers, add to the pot. Add about 3 peeled potatoes chunks.
When that starts to stick to the bottom of the pan add a pinch of saffron.
Add a cup of white wine and a can of chopped tomatoes (or 4 fresh).
Put enough water in the pot to cover and about 4 extra inches. Next
add your seafood. Fresh chunks of seabass or any other white meat
fish, some shrimp or a seafood medley (Trade Joe's makes a nice one).
Cook until fish becomes white, don't over cook. Sprinkle with some
fresh chopped Italian parsley and squeeze a lemon over it.
This makes a great "pot meal" ... invite some friends and
have everyone bring a seafood item. Make the base and add the fish
as they come.

Braised Halibut with Tomato and Garlic Puree
Preheat your oven to 400F.
Get a glass baking dish, that's going to fit about 4 steaks
tightly and flat. A pyrex lasagna dish works great.
Butter the bottom. Sprinkle about 2 finely chopped shallots in the
dish and add your halibut steaks on top. Salt and pepper them and
add 1/2 cup of dry white wine to the dish.
Place the dish
on top of the stove over high heat until the wine simmers. Cover the
dish with foil and pop it in the oven for 5-10 minutes, about 10 minutes
for every inch of thickness.
While that's
in the oven. Prepare about 12 blanched garlic cloves. That's
taking cleaned, peeled cloves and dipping them in scalding water until
soft - set them aside.
Whisk a
tablespoon of finely chopped parsley, 1/2 cup garlic puree, 1/2 cup of
stiff tomato puree and 2 teaspoons of white wine vinegar into the sauce
left in the pan, add the garlic cloves. Return this to the stove
top, if it's too thin boil it down, if it's too thick add a little water.
Spoon it over
the halibut and add a little chopped tomato for garnish.
Garlic &
Tomato Puree: You can purchase pre-made puree or make your own!
For Garlic Puree: Break three large heads of garlic into
cloves . Simmer unpeeled cloves for 20-30 minutes in a pot of water
until they are completely soft. Drain the garlic, puree in a food
processor and work it through a strainer. You can keep this in
the fridge for about a week or freeze it for several months. Makes
about 1/2 cup.
For Tomato
Puree: Cut four medium tomatoes in half crosswise and squeeze the
seeds out. Chop the tomatoes and stew them over medium heat in a
2-quart pot until the liquid they release evaporates and the mixture
thickens, about 20 minutes. Stir every few minutes to make sure it
doesn't stick and burn. Work it through a strainer and return to
heat for another 15 minutes until it becomes stiff.

Blacken Catalina Sea Bass
Set aside
four 6 oz. skinless sea bass fillets. Prepare your grill using hardwood
charcoal. You want to use a hardwood because it becomes hotter than
regular charcoal and seals the juices into the fish. Combine 2 teaspoons
of paprika, 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon of crushed dried
thyme leaves and 1/4 teaspoon each of sea salt, white, red and black
peppers in small bowl, mix your dry ingredients well and set aside.
Melt 3-4 tablespoons of butter in small saucepan over medium heat, pour
into a shallow bowl, dip the fillets into the melted butter, evenly
coating both sides. Sprinkle both sides of fillets evenly with your dry
mixture.
Make sure your coals are hot. Place the sea bass on the grill. The fire
will flare up but when you close the lid of your grill it will go away.
Grill the sea bass, under the covered grill for about 4 to 6 minutes, turn
it over if necessary, you want the sea bass to be blackened and flake
easily when tested with fork.
Make a nice citrus sauce by whisking the juice of 2 lemons and some warm
melted butter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or baby dill.

Mix 75% Wishbone Italian dressing and
25% Soy Sauce together until it is a nice brown color. Add some fish

red pepper and green bell pepper. Take your kabob stick and
start with your onion on the bottom, add a piece of the fish, a piece of
bell pepper, a scallop, a piece of bell pepper, a piece of fish, onion, a
piece of shrimp, bell pepper, piece of fish, a mushroom and top with a

Seared Sesame Crusted Tuna
In a shallow dish, combine ¼ cup black
sesame seeds and a ½ cup of white sesame seeds and stir to mix. Season
with salt and pepper, 4 chilled ahi tuna steaks, about 6 ounces each, and
an inch thick, take the tuna and dredge it in the sesame seeds, coating
evenly.
In a searing pan,
over high heat, warm a little grapeseed or canola oil, only enough to coat
the bottom of your pan, don’t add your tuna until the pan starts smoking.
Arrange the tuna in the pan, don’t over crowd it, cook until the white
sesames start to turn golden underneath, about a minute. Don’t try to
move it until it releases from the pan, flip it an cook the other side.
When done, transfer the tuna to a cutting board and cut it into ¼ inch
thick slices. Arrange it on a plate or over a salad, drizzle with a
wasabi/soy sauce mixture and serve.

Cliff Friend's Calamari Steaks and
Pieces
Take a large squid, cut into 4 equal filets and remove the outside ink
membrane by peeling off. Under the ink membrane there is a second clear
thin membrane that can be peeled off with your fingers (this is the one
that makes the squid tough, rubbery). Pound the squid filet with a meat
tenderizer and dip them in a pie pan with two beaten eggs. Start the cast
iron skillet on a medium flame and use virgin olive oil (your choice). In
another pie pan put the seasoning (Louisiana seasoned fish fry is Cliff's
choice). Roll the squid filets in seasoned fish fry until coated and into
the skillet for 2-3 minutes each side. now your ready for a great
calamari sandwich. Cliff likes wheat hamburger buns dressed up with
tarter sauce and lettuce or spinach.
To get quid pieces, cut the cooked squid filets every 3/8 of a inch along
the width (shortest distance) and serve with Tarter sauce and maranara
sauce on the side. For a hot sauce use 1/2 cup of catsup to 2 tablespoons
of Tapitio hot sauce with lemon pepper and black pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Ultimate Freedom Coffee Cake
Roast about 2 cups of pecans or walnuts in a 325° oven for about 10-15
minutes, I use pecans, in your 13 x 9 x2-1/2 pan. Let them cool and
then finely chop them. Put them in a bowl and add 1/3 cup each of
granulated and brown sugar. Set this aside for your Streusel.
Wipe the pan clean and put about 1/4 stick of butter in the 13 x 9 x 2-1/2
pan, coat evenly, set aside. The butter should melt if your pan is
still warm otherwise return it for a quick moment to the oven.
In your mixing bowl, beat two sticks of unsalted butter until it's fluffy.
Mix in another bowl, 2-1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 1-3/4 teaspoons of
baking soda, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, add
this mixture gradually to the butter and continue to beat. Be sure
to scrape the bowl if it needs it.
Turn the mixer to low and add 3 eggs lightly beaten and 4 cups of all
purpose flour, alternating... a little flour and some eggs...mix until
combined. Fold in 1 8 oz. tub of sour cream (or 1 cup). Mix well but
don't blend.
Take your pan and spread out a layer of batter, top with a layer of
Streusel (about 3/4s of what you have), another layer of batter and
sprinkle the remaining Streusel on top. Place in the middle rack of
your oven and bake for about 45 minutes, test with toothpick... and it
should be crunch on the outside.
Kick your oven up to 350°.

Get about a pound of sea bass fillets, sprinkle them with the juice of a
couple of limes, salt and pepper then set them aside. Now you want to
julienne cut a half of a sweet onion and a half of a green bell pepper,
place the onion and peppers in a pan with 2 teaspoons of chopped garlic,
1 teaspoon of fresh chopped oregano, 2 medium concasse* chopped tomatoes
and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Simmer that until almost all the liquid
evaporates, but don’t let it brown. Take your fillets and place each
serving in the center of a large piece of foil or buttered parchment
paper, top the fillets equally with the sauce. Next, take about a
fourth of a cup of sliced green olives and one tablespoon of capers and
sprinkle that over all the fillets. Drizzle the fillets with some white
wine (about a ½ cup for all). Bring the edges of your foil up and roll
down sealing the edges and bake for 10-12 minutes. Serve your wrapped
fillet on a plate, cut an X across the top and peel back to release the
steam and the wonderful aroma of dinner!
