Fish With Artichoke Sauce

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

4 Fish fillets, such as salmon
-or sea bass, about 6 ounces
-each
Kosher salt
4 lg Artichokes
1/2 Lemon, juice of, added to:
3 c Water, about
6 tb Olive oil, or as needed
2 White onions, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 c Diced ,seeded tomatoes
Chopped mint or parsley

Sprinkle fish fillets with kosher salt and refrigerate until needed. Trim
the artichokes of all leaves and pare them down to the hearts. Scoop out
the choke with a sharp spoon and cut the hearts in 1/4-inch thick slices,
cut them into wedges if they are very large. Keep them in a bowl of lemon
water until needed.

Film a large saute' pan with olive oil. Saute' the artichoke slices,
stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add a little of the lemon water and
cook until the artichokes are almost completely tender. Set aside.

Again fill the pan with olive oil and saute' the onions over moderate heat
until tender and transluscent, about 8 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, then
return artichokes to the pan. Combine well. Season with salt and pepper.
Now, rinse the fish.

At this point, you have two options. You can saute' the fish for 1 or 2
minutes, top with the artichoke mixture, cover the pan and braise over
moderate heat, until the fish is just tender. - Or, you can put the fish in
the baking dish, top with the artichoke mixture, cover the dish and bake in
a preheated , 400*F oven, or until fish is tender, about 10 minutes. (Make
sure you check the fish 2 or 3 minutes before it's supposed to be done) .
Garnish with a generous sprinkle of parsley or mint.
Alternative preparation: If you are feeling adventurous, omit the tomatoes.
Instead, add the grated zest of one orange and one lemon to the onions
while cooking, plus a pinch of hot pepper flakes. Follow your preferred
cooking method for the fish,. Then, garnish with segments from 2 oranges
(try blood oranges) and finally, the chopped mint or parsley.

Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
