Armenian-Style Cold Pickerel Recipe

Armenian-Style Cold Pickerel

Homemakers Best Tested
By
Andrew Chase
This unusual lemony and easy-to-make Armenian fish dish is especially nice made with fresh-caught Canadian pickerel, but lake whitefish is also very good. The ginger is a nontraditional ingredient that rids the cooking fish of its "fishy" smell. Serve the fish with baguette and a hot or cold salad of boiled potatoes and sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, all drizzled with fragrant olive oil.

Ingredients

1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
7 green onions, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 thin slices ginger
2 bay leaves
1-1/2 tsp  (7 mL)  salt
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  black pepper
2 pickerel fillets (each about 1 lb/500 g) or 1 whole pickerel cut in thick steaks
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  extra-virgin olive oil
3 lemons (approx)

Preparation

Stir together parsley, onions and garlic; spread half on bottom of large nonstick or cast-iron skillet and place ginger and bay leaves on top.

Sprinkle salt and pepper all over fillets; arrange on parsley mixture and top with remaining parsley mixture. Drizzle with oil, then 1/4 cup/60 mL water.

Remove and discard peel and white pith from lemons; thinly slice lemons, removing seeds. Spread single layer of slices over parsley mixture to completely cover.

Bring to boil; cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovering for the last 5 minutes, until thickest part of fish flakes easily with fork, about 25 minutes. Let cool.

Transfer to serving platter, removing bay leaves; cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

Makes 6 servings.
