Title: Cranapple Fillets
Categories: Shellfish
Yield: 6 Servings
| 6 | Salmon fillets; or trout ----apple bouillon----- | |
| 4 | c | Apple juice |
| 1/2 | c | Onions; sliced |
| 1 | Celery; cut to 1" lengths | |
| 1 | Bay leaf | |
| 4 | Peppercorns | |
| 1 | ts | Salt ----cranberry sauce----- |
| 1 | c | Apple juice |
| 1/4 | c | Lemon juice |
| 2 | c | Fresh cranberries |
| 3/4 | ts | Cinnamon |
| 1/2 | c | Sugar |
In a large pan combine 4 cups apple juice, onion celery, bay leaf, peppercorn and salt. Mix well and heat to boiling. Simmer for 10 minutes to blend flavors.
Place the fillets on a rack over the mixture and steam for 9-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Carefully remove fish to a hot platter. Discard the mixture.
To prepare the cranberry sauce add 1 cup apple juice to small pan. Stir in lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce to a medium heat and add the cranberries. Cook until cranberry skins pop, about 5 minutes. Partially mash the berries and stir for another 2-3 minutes.
Place fillets on a bed of romaine lettuce and cover with the cranberry sauce. (The sauce can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated, providing a tasty combination of warm fish and cool sauce.)
Serves 6.
