(Pesce in Salsa Verde)
Category: Fillets and Steaks
I spent New Year's Eve in Venice with friends one year, and before going to the midnight services at St. Mark's Cathedral, we had dinner at a little trattoria near the Rialto Bridge.We ate grilled prawns, risotto with cuttlefish, and this dish of sautéed fish steaks in a parsley and white wine sauce with peas. After dinner, we walked through the streets, which were filled with good-natured revelers, many wearing fabulous costumes.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 halibut steaks, tilefish or other white fish steaks, about 1 inch thick
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 green onions, finely chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup fresh or frozen baby peas
1 On a piece of wax paper, combine the flour and salt and pepper to taste. Rinse the fish and pat dry, then dredge each steak in the flour mixture to lightly coat both sides. Shake off the excess.
2 In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the fish and brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the fish and brown the other side, about 2 minutes. With a slotted metal spatula, transfer the steaks to a plate. Wipe out the skillet.
3 Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the skillet. Add the onions. Cook over medium heat until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Cook until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley.
4 Return the fish to the skillet and baste it with the sauce. Scatter the peas around the fish. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until the fish is just barely opaque when cut in the thickest part. Serve immediately.
