Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or hake)
- 500 grams fresh clams
- 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup fish or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the clams thoroughly under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any clams that are cracked or do not close when tapped.
Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.
In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the chopped parsley, reserving a small handful for garnish, and cook for 1 minute to release its aroma.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the fish stock, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and place the fish fillets into the skillet.
Cover the skillet and cook the fish for 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until they are almost cooked through.
Meanwhile, dissolve the cornstarch in the water to create a slurry.
Add the clams to the skillet, distributing them evenly around the fish, and drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the sauce.
Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the dish with the reserved parsley and lemon slices.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or steamed white rice to soak up the flavorful green sauce.
