Chutney Roast Fish

10 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 10 -12 small red potatoes
  • 3 quarts boiling water, salted
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 5 large garlic cloves, mashed
  • 1 large lemon, just the juice with the seeds removed
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 - 1/3 cup fruit chutney (see earlier note)
  • 4 salmon steaks, inch thick slices, wild if possible, Pacific cod and halibut with the skin on can substitute
  • fresh parsley (to garnish)

Directions

  1. 1
    Slip the potatoes into the boiling water and simmer for 15 minutes, or until they are still slightly firm when they are pierced with a knife. Do not completely cook them. Drain them in a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking.
  2. 2
    While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oven to 400°F In a food processor (or just with a quick whisk), combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper; puree/whisk.
  3. 3
    Stir in the chutney and whisk/puree to mix.
  4. 4
    Place the fish steaks in a shallow bowl. Pour the marinade mixture over them, and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. 5
    Thin-slice the potatoes (peel them as well if you want at this point).
  6. 6
    In a shallow baking dish that can hold the fish steaks with some room to spare, overlap the potato slices to cover the bottom of the dish. Moisten the potatoes with a little of the marinade. Top the potatoes with the fish steaks, then the rest of the marinade.
  7. 7
    Roast the fish in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is just firm when pressed. The flesh should be barely opaque near the center; make a small cut to check. Remember, If the fish is cold when it goes into the oven, it could take longer to cook.
  8. 8
    Serve the fish and potatoes in the baking dish, sprinkled with the parsley leaves for garnish.
