Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Season fish with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Over high heat, cook one side of the fish until golden brown, about 1 minute. Turn, and brown the second side. Add carrot, onion, garlic, wine and fish broth, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer the contents of the skillet to an oven-proof baking dish, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 5 minutes. Remove the fish to a serving platter and keep warm.

  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, in a saucepan, boil the cooking liquid and vegetables over high heat until reduced by half. Stir in the remaining olive oil to bind the sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Spoon the sauce and vegetables over the fish, and serve with mashed potatoes.

Delicious. Although I'm not sure why the whole thing has to be transferred to a new pan to bake when it can simmer on the stove top, which is what I did.

I made this with fillets rather than on the bone and it came out very well. I'd just note that it took considerably more than one minute to brown a side.
