Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir together oil and potatoes in a 5-quart glass or ceramic casserole. Cover securely with microwave plastic wrap or a tightly fitting lid. Cook at 100 percent power for 4 minutes in a 650- to 700-watt oven. If using plastic, prick to release steam.

    Remove from oven. Place fish bones and heads on a double thickness of cheesecloth and tie securely with string. Add to casserole along with 2½ cups of the wine and garlic. Cover and cook for 22 minutes, stirring twice.

  3. Step 3

    While potato mixture is cooking, halve fillets lengthwise and remove pin bones; try a tweezers. Cut across into 2-inch chunks.

  4. Step 4

    If using plastic, prick to release steam. Remove casserole from oven and uncover. Discard fish heads and bones in cheesecloth. Place fish over potatoes and top with kale. Re-cover and cook for 17 minutes. If using plastic, prick to release steam.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven and uncover. Stir in remaining 1-cup wine, salt and pepper to taste, breaking up the fish as you stir. Re-cover and cook for 3 minutes more or until hot.

Cooking Notes

I followed the recipe exactly and it came out way too salty. I suggest you try 1.5 teaspoons. I also had to add some more liquid towards he end.
