Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Cucumber Slaw:
1 cup julienned cucumber
1/2 cup julienned red bell pepper
1/2 cup julienned carrot
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Key Lime Butter Sauce:
6 ounces white wine
2 shallots, minced
2 bay leaves
4 cups heavy cream
Zest and juice of 2 Key limes
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
For the Grouper:
Four 7-ounce fresh skinless grouper filets
2 ounces blended oil (half olive oil, half vegetable oil)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the slaw: Toss together the cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, rice vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the key lime butter sauce: Bring the wine, shallots and bay leaves to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Once boiling, add the heavy cream and lime zest and juice. Bring back to a boil and cook until reduced by half. Mix the cornstarch and water together and slowly whisk into the reduced cream.
  • Once the mixture thickens turn the heat to low and add the butter a little at a time, whisking each time until fully incorporated. Run through a fine strainer and keep warm until serving.
  • For the grouper: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke. Season the grouper filets with salt and pepper, put in the skillet top-side down and cook until the flesh begins to crisp, about 2 minutes. Do not flip; transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the grouper flakes easily, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • To serve, spoon some Key Lime Butter Sauce on each of 4 plates and top with a grouper filet browned-side up. Top each filet with some Cucumber Slaw and serve.

TANGY CUCUMBER SLAW FOR TACOS



Tangy Cucumber Slaw for Tacos image

I took the base of Martha Stewart's cucumber radish slaw and changed it up. This is great on top of tacos or with pork. You can use it like any other coleslaw. It's super tangy if you like a vinegar in-your-face tangy-type taste. I wanted to make a slaw without mayo to make a lower-fat version.

Categories     Salad     Coleslaw Recipes     No Mayo

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ head cabbage, chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
¼ red onion, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, or to taste
9 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place cabbage, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro in a bowl to make coleslaw mix.
  • Whisk vinegar, oil, sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a separate bowl. Add dressing to the coleslaw mix. Let sit until flavors settle, at least 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cucumbers. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the slaw more crisp and refreshing.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to your slaw, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli.
  • For a more flavorful slaw, try adding some fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, or cilantro.
  • Season the slaw to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of sugar if you like.
  • Serve the slaw immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cucumber slaw is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is light and refreshing, and it pairs well with grilled meats, fish, or chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious cucumber slaw that will be a hit with your family and friends.
