Season fish all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then put, skin sides down, in baking pan. Drizzle fillets with 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil (total). Broil fish 6 inches from heat until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a platter. While fish broils, whisk together remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice in a small bowl, then add remaining 5 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Stir in basil and spoon vinaigrette over cooked fish. Makes 4 servings. Olive-Oil-Glazed Potatoes 1 lb russet (baking) potatoes (about 2) 1 1/4 cups water 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Combine potatoes with water, oil, garlic, and salt in a 10-inch nonstick skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover skillet and briskly simmer, shaking skillet occasionally, until potatoes are tender and most of water is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 4 servings. -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia D. Hill at recipes@swcp.com. Only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting.
