PAN-FRIED CUMIN-CHILE CRUSTED FISH



Pan-Fried Cumin-Chile Crusted Fish image

This only serves 2 but can easily be increased to serve how many servings you need. Although the original recipe suggests using snapper, other white fish such as Tilapia or Grouper can be used. When I made this I used Tilapia, as it is more readily available where I live. As there is not much oil used to cook the fish, it best to use a bit of Pam in the skillet or a non-stick pan, as the fish tends to stick. Recipe source: local newspaper

CUMIN-ROASTED SALMON WITH CILANTRO SAUCE



Cumin-Roasted Salmon With Cilantro Sauce image

Roasting a whole fillet of fish might seem like a weekend-only treat, but cooking salmon this way is a luxury you should allow yourself on any old Tuesday, as it requires no additional preparation or skill. Be sure to slather the vinegary herb sauce on the still-warm salmon to allow the warm spices and fresh herbs to get to know each other better.

1 cup cilantro, leaves and tender stems, chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped chives (from about 1/2 bunch)
1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds skin-on salmon fillet
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

Coffee-Rubbed Grilled Fish image

The final days of December for African-Americans mean playing games of bid whist and spades, and cultivating joy through seasonal dishes. For Rashad Frazier and his family in Portland, Ore., Kwanzaa is all about the food, Nguzo Saba (the seven principles) and honoring members of their families who have made their lives bright. Mr. Frazier is a personal chef and an avid outdoorsman; this rub is his go-to for highlighting fresh-caught fish, which he is serving for the holiday.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 whole fish (1 to 1 1/2 pounds each) such as branzino, gutted and scaled (see Notes)
2 teaspoons medium-ground coffee
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cayenne (see Notes)
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the grill
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill or heat an indoor grill pan to medium-high, ensuring the grates are very clean. Using a sharp knife, score the fish with four diagonal slashes through the skin on both sides.
  • Mix the coffee, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, ancho, cumin, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat the fish very dry with paper towels, then drizzle with the oil and rub over the skin. Sprinkle the coffee rub all over the exterior and cavity of the fish and massage the seasoning into nooks and crannies.
  • Oil the grill grates or pan. Place the fish on the hot, greased grates, and cover, if using a gas grill. Grill, turning once, until skin is browned and crisp and the flesh is opaque, 5 to 6 minutes per side. The crisped skin should naturally release from the grate when turning and removing the fish. If it doesn't, let it sit until it does. If it's still stuck, carefully pry the skin off the grate with a spatula. Season to taste with salt, and serve right away with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish: For the best results, use fresh, firm-fleshed fish fillets or steaks. You can use any type of fish you like, but some good options include salmon, tilapia, cod, or halibut.
  • Make sure the fish is dry: Before you coat the fish in the cumin crust, pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the crust adhere better to the fish.
  • Use a light hand with the oil: When you're searing the fish, use just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. This will help prevent the fish from sticking and will also help to create a nice crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're searing the fish, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the fish to steam instead of sear, and you won't get a nice crust.
  • Cook the fish until it's cooked through: The best way to tell if the fish is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it's done.

Conclusion:

Cumin crusted fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The cumin crust gives the fish a flavorful and slightly spicy crust, while the inside of the fish remains moist and flaky. Serve the fish with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
