I
like sauces that add flavour to food without taking over the overall dish
and one day when I did not want to spend too much time in the kitchen, I
decided to use Soya sauce and Teriyaki sauce as a marinade for
Haddock.
The
results were great and one of my vegetarian friends (who eats white fish)
was raving about it so much I decided to share this recipe with everyone.
I
prefer to use puff pastry for this rather than short crust as it adds to
the lightness of the whole dish. Makes 4 parcels.
Ingredients
1
packet ready roll puff pastry
4
large pieces of Haddock
Soya
Sauce
Teriyaki
Sauce
6-8
new potatoes thinly sliced and par boiled
Method
 |
Take
a large frying pan and pour enough Soya sauce to cover the surface.
|
 |
Lay
the fish pieces on the sauce and sprinkle Teriyaki sauce on top.
Leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
|
 |
After
15 minutes, turn the fish pieces over and marinate for another half
hour or so.
|
 |
In
the meantime roll out the puff pastry on a clean, lightly floured work
surface and cut into 4 squares - enough to cover each fish piece.
|
 |
Put
the pastry in the fridge to relax while you prepare the fish and
potatoes.
|
 |
Heat
the frying pan gently till the liquid starts bubbling. It will
not take long for the fish to cook so make sure you turn it after 2
minutes and take off heat after another 2 minutes.
|
 |
Remove
the fish from the frying pan and keep to one side. Put the
frying pan with the marinade back on the stove and gently cook the
potato slices in it. When the marinade has dried out cool the
potatoes.
|
 |
Turn
the oven on to 200* C (180* for fan ovens).
|
 |
Start
assembling the parcels once potatoes and fish have cooled. Put a
couple of layers of the potatoes in the centre of a pastry
square. Place one piece of Haddock on top and fold the pastry to
make a parcel.
|
 |
When
making the parcel please don't panic as it can just be folded over to
enclose the potatoes and fish - nothing fancy is required here.
|
 |
Place
all the parcels on a baking sheet and put an egg glaze (1 egg beaten)
with a pastry brush. Cook in oven for 20 minutes until the
pastry crust is golden.
|
 |
Serve
with a crunchy salad (spring onions, celery, lettuce and cucumber cut
into chunks, tossed in white wine vinegar, olive oil and freshly
ground black pepper).
