.......... Pan Seared Australian Ocean Trout Served with Shitake Mushrooms and Sage-Cashew Pesto J.J. Minetola, Executive Chef at Tsunami created this delicious entrée. It will debut on Tsunami’s menu later this month. In this recipe, J. J. uses grapeseed oil because it has a clean flavor and a high smoking point. For convenience, the pesto can be made ahead; it will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.

4 filets of Australian Ocean Trout or Salmon

½ c. grapeseed oil

Kosher salt

White pepper

Linguini to serve four

2 c. sliced shitake mushrooms

1 c. chopped sage leaves, packed tightly

4 oz. olive oil

¼ c. cashews

Dash lemon juice

1 T. grated Parmesan cheese

1. Bring water to a rapid boil for the linguini

2. Heat oven to 450 degrees

3. Season fish with kosher salt and white pepper

4. Heat about 4 T. grapeseed oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat

5. Sear fish on one side only in grapeseed oil for approximately 3-4 minutes

6. Remove skillet from heat, turn fish and place skillet with fish in 450 degree oven to finish cooking to desired doneness

7. While fish is cooking, cook the linguini in rapidly boiling water (for 2-3 minutes for fresh pasta or as directed)

8. Saute shitake mushrooms in about 4 T. grapeseed oil.

9. To mushrooms, add 1 T. chopped garlic and kosher salt and white pepper to taste. Sprinkle a few drops of water into the mixture, being careful as it sizzles.

10. To prepare pesto: Heat 1 oz. olive oil in a skillet. Add chopped sage leaves and cook until warmed through. In a food processor, blend sage leaves and cashews. Add Parmesan cheese and remaining 3 oz. olive oil. Add a dash of lemon juice. Add kosher salt and white pepper to taste. Process until smooth. (Can be done ahead of time; will keep for a week in the refrigerator.)

11. To assemble: Add pesto to skillet with shitake mushrooms; mix well. Add linguini to skillet with pesto-mushroom mixture. Place linguini in a serving bowl. Place fish on top of linguini. Garnish as desired; J. J. garnishes with an edible marigold.
