NOVA FISH RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeño (if using).
• In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream until combined. Season to taste with the halved lime, salt, pepper and chipotle (if using).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons each of kosher salt and black pepper. Pour the milk into another medium bowl, and place the fish into it.
• Pour 1/4 cup of the peanut oil into a 12-inch frying pan and place over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is about to smoke. Remove the fish pieces from the milk bath and dredge them lightly through the flour mixture, shaking to remove excess. Add the butter to the pan. Place some fish pieces in the oil, without crowding them, and cook until deep golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn carefully and cook for 1 minute more. Remove to a warmed, paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining fish.
• Meanwhile, lightly grease a skillet with a drizzle of oil and set over medium heat. Heat the tortillas, one or two at a time, until they are soft and hot. Keep them warm, wrapped in a dish towel.
• Fill each tortilla with 3 pieces of fish, browned side up, followed by tomato salsa and a pinch of cabbage. Drizzle with the cream sauce. Serve 2 to 3 tacos per person, with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Place the fish in the center of the foil, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
• Place a slice of lemon on top of each piece of fish, then a sprig of herbs on each.
• Fold up the edges so that it's completely sealed and no steam will escape, creating a loose tent.
• Heat half of the grill (on one side) on high heat with the cover closed.
• When the grill is hot, place the foil packets on the side of the grill with the burners off (indirect heat) and close the grill.
• Depending on the thickness of your fish, cook 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. My porgy fillets took about 12 minutes.
