LSmoked haddock and a few other ingredients are all you need to create an elegant, refined dish. Lightly sauteed green beans and peas accompany the lean white-flesh fish, and everything is finished with a white wine sauce. The smoky flavor of the fish pairs well with the creamy sauce, while the green beans and peas complete the plate. Since white wine is often aged in oak barrels, oak wood pellets are an excellent choice for this cook. In addition to complementing the wine in the sauce, oak is robust enough to make an impact during the short cook time, but it doesn’t overpower.

Instructions

                                                                                          • Step 1: Preheat your Z-Grills (preferably with branded oak pellets) or other wood pellet grill to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
                                                                                            • Step 2: Rub the haddock fillets with oil, then season both sides of each fillet with salt and black pepper.
                                                                                            • Step 3: Place the grill mat on the grates and transfer the fish to the grill mat.
                                                                                            • Step 4: Close the grill’s lid and cook for 50-55 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
                                                                                            • Step 5: At the 25-minute mark, fill a large skillet with water and bring it to a boil on your stovetop. Salt the water once boiling.
                                                                                            • Step 6: Add the green beans and cook for 3 minutes. The beans are ready when they are tender and bright green.
                                                                                            • Step 7: Drain the green beans and set them aside.
                                                                                            • Step 8: Melt the butter in the same skillet used to cook the green beans. Do this over medium heat.
                                                                                            • Step 9: Add the shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until softened, fragrant, and slightly brown at the edges.
                                                                                            • Step 10: Add the green beans, peas, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the peas are warmed through. Set aside but keep warm.
                                                                                            • Step 11: Heat the oil for the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
                                                                                            • Step 12: Add the shallot and sauté for 2 minutes or until softened.
                                                                                            • Step 13: Pour in the wine and lemon juice.
                                                                                            • Step 14: Next, add the sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and simmer for 3 minutes or until reduced by half.
                                                                                            • Step 15: Stir in the cream, return the sauce to a simmer, and simmer for 2 minutes.
                                                                                            • Step 16: Remove the sauce from the heat and slowly stir in the cubes of cold butter. Add one cube at a time, stir until melted, and repeat until you incorporate all the butter.
                                                                                            • Step 17: Add black pepper to taste.
                                                                                            • Step 18: Divide the green beans and peas between four plates.
                                                                                            • Step 19: Drizzle white wine sauce over the green beans and peas.
                                                                                            • Step 20: Place a smoked haddock fillet on top of each serving of green beans and peas, finish with more sauce (if desired), and serve.
