Zucchini Wrapped Fish With Butternut Squash Hash And Pinot Noir Butter Sauce

  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 ounces hot Italian sausage, chopped or crumbled
  • 1/2 cup minced yellow onions
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 small butternut squash (1 to 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, halved, seeds and fibers removed, and diced
  • 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 large zucchini, ends trimmed
  • 8 (3-ounce) medallions halibut, grouper or other firm mild fish, trimmed to measure each about 1 1/2 to 2 inches square
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Pinot Noir Butter Sauce
  • Zucchini blossoms, garnish
  • Chopped chives, garnish

Directions

  • In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and stir to break up into pieces. Cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 minutes. Add the squash and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the sugar, salt, pepper, and chicken stock, and stir. Cover and cook over medium heat until the squash is tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Uncover, stir, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, adjust seasoning, to taste, and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using a mandolin or other slicing machine, cut the zucchini lengthwise into long ribbons, about 1/8-inch thick. On a work surface, overlap 2 long zucchini ribbons to form a cross. In the center of the cross, place 1 halibut medallion and season lightly with salt and pepper. Brush a small amount of egg wash on each zucchini strip and fold alternately over the fish to form a tight package. Lightly salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the fish packages, folded side down, and sear for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter, turn the fish and place in the oven until cooked through and tops are golden, 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • To serve, spoon the squash hash in the center of 4 plates. Top each portion with 2 fish packages and nap with the Pinot Noir Butter Sauce. Garnish each plate with zucchini blossoms and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve immediately.
