Whole Tilapia Escabeche

Course Main Dish
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 People

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Coleson's Catch Whole Tilapia
  • Flour
  • Oil
  • 1 pc Yellow Onion
  • 1 pc Green Bell Pepper
  • 1 pc Red Bell Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Thyme
  • 2 Tbsp Vinegar
  • 1/4 c Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 c White Wine
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse the fish, pat dry.
  • Score the fish on both sides with a deep "tick- tac-toe" cut.
  • Season with salt and pepper and coat with flour.
  • Saute in oil until very crispy; dry it out on purpose so that the juice you put on it soaks into the meat. Set aside.
  • Saute the onions and peppers until limp-add all other items, bring to a boil.
  • Place the fish in a baking dish and cover with the onion mixture-cover and bake until tender-15-20 minutes.

Notes

Traditionally this dish is made ahead of time and served cold or at room temp. I like it hot, warm or cold. It is a kind of casual picnic item served with a hearty bread.

Pesto Scallops with Vegetables

Course Main Dish
Servings 2 People

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Coleson’s Catch Scallops
  • Salt and Pepper
  • cooking oil of choice
  • Pesto Sauce use Basic Pesto recipe in Signature Recipes or Prepared Pesto Sauce
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 Portobello Mushroom
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • 6 spears Asparagus

Instructions

  • Toss scallops in pesto and marinate for an hour.
  • Scallops are easier to cook on a stick rather than turning them over individually, but to serve they will be taken off the stick.
  • Cut red onion in to one-inch rounds (leaving the concentric circles intact) and the tomato in half.
  • Salt and pepper the onion circles, tomato, mushroom, bell pepper and asparagus and brush with oil.
  • Place them on a ready grill:  The tomatoes cut side on the grill, the peppers skin side on the grill, the mushrooms underside of the cap on the grill, and with the onion and asparagus it doesn't matter.
  • Turn the tomato, mushroom, and pepper after about 3 minutes, and put a spoon of pesto on top of each.
  • Turn the onion and asparagus as they darken and top the onion with pesto.
  • Remove the vegetables once cooked to your liking.
  • Cook the scallops until just warmed through, 3-5 minutes.

Notes

I recommend serving these delicacies on a bed of romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing, garnished with croutons and grated Parmesan cheese. The vegetables can be placed on the salad whole, which is lovely but harder to eat, or they can be cut up at attractive angles. Put the scallops on top. Serve with lemon if desired.
