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
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the chutney and whisk/puree to mix.
- Place the fish steaks in a shallow bowl. Pour the marinade mixture over them, and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Thin-slice the potatoes (peel them as well if you want at this point).
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the fish and potatoes in the baking dish, sprinkled with the parsley leaves for garnish.
