Ingredients for fish with leeks:
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large leek, sliced
4-5 large garlic cloves, sliced thinly
10 green onions, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces
1 cup homemade fish stock (link) or bottled clam juice
4 orange roughy, sea bass, escolar (white tuna), haddock or halibut fillets. Any firm, white-fleshed fish will be great if it is fresh.
Chopped fresh Italian parsley
Preparation
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat.
Add leek and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes.
Stir in green onions and stock.
Boil until the liquid is reduced to glaze, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
Salt and pepper to taste. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
Remove the fish to plates.
Add onion mixture to cooking pan and heat briefly, then Spoon this mixture over your fish with leeks and enjoy.
Sprinkle with Italian parsley and serve.
