SALMON WITH YOGURT-CURRY SAUCE



Salmon With Yogurt-Curry Sauce image

With its rich flesh, salmon is so strongly flavored that you can pair it with just about anything. Here I cook it with a yogurt sauce that contains just chopped cucumber and spices. If you use farmed salmon and a nonstick skillet, you won't even need to add any fat. That's because farmed salmon is so high in fat (fattier than wild salmon, and it's the beneficial omega-3 type, too) that it's difficult to overcook. This is not to say you can put it on the stove and walk away, but that precision is a goal rather than a necessity. Even if you like your fish cooked through, the result will be a piece of meat that still has a fair amount of moisture in it.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1 small cucumber, peeled
Salt and pepper
10 cardamom pods, remove seeds and discard hulls
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg pieces (smack a whole nutmeg with a hammer)
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed, if necessary
4 6-ounce salmon fillets
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • If yogurt is very thin, put it in a cheesecloth-lined strainer over a bowl. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Chop flesh, sprinkle it with salt and put in a strainer over a bowl.
  • If making spice mix (see note), combine all spices in a skillet and toast over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Grind to a coarse powder in a spice mill.
  • Put a skillet over medium heat; if it is other than nonstick, add oil. Season fish with salt and pepper and add it to pan; raise heat to medium high. Combine cucumber with yogurt and one tablespoon of spice mix in a bowl; taste and adjust seasoning.
  • After salmon has cooked for 4 minutes, turn it and cook on other side another 2 to 5 minutes. Serve, browned side up, with sauce and lime on the side.

CRISPY-SKIN SALMON WITH CURRIED YOGURT SAUCE



Crispy-Skin Salmon with Curried Yogurt Sauce image

Nailing perfectly crispy skin on salmon is easier than you think. The secret is prepping the fish before cooking it. Scraping the residual moisture will guarantee a crisp skin. You can also scrape it a few hours or days before cooking.

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Two 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin on, scales and pin bones removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • For the salmon: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. With the sharp edge of a knife, scrape the skin back and forth the length of a fillet over and over with light pressure. You will see moisture build up on your knife edge; wipe it away. Continue for about 1 minute, until there's almost nothing to wipe away. Cut a few 2- to 3-inch slits across the middle of the salmon skin. Repeat with the remaining fillet.
  • Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle with the oil and set aside until ready to cook.
  • For the yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, cilantro, lemon zest and juice, oil, garlic, garam masala and curry powder in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Heat a 9- to 11-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. There is no need to oil the pan, because you oiled the fish. Add the fillets skin-side down, laying them away from you. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Shake the pan until the salmon releases from the bottom of the pan by itself.
  • Carefully turn the salmon over and reduce the heat to medium-low so the flesh side cooks more slowly. Cook until a thin-bladed knife inserted into the flesh meets with just a little resistance or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a fillet registers 125 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes (thinner pieces will be done quicker than the thicker ones).
  • Serve the fillets topped with some of the yogurt sauce.

COD FILLETS WITH CILANTRO YOGURT SAUCE



Cod Fillets With Cilantro Yogurt Sauce image

This cooling herbed yogurt sauce is adapted from the chef Yotam Ottolenghi in London, who serves it with leek fritters. But it's wonderful with mild fish like cod. The fish, while delicious, is utterly simple: fillets baked in a 300-degree oven until opaque, 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the pieces. It is the sauce that is the star, and that comes together quickly in a food processor. Combine roughly chopped cilantro and parsley, garlic that has been mashed to a paste, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and yogurt. (Whole-milk yogurt would be best for body and flavor, while low-fat is O.K., and nonfat untenable.) Process until the mixture is smooth and green. There will be sauce left over, which you can use on yet more fish, or as a dip for vegetables or fritters, anything that would thrive when dunked in the refreshing, herb-graced sauce.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (you'll have sauce left over)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups cilantro leaves (some stems are O.K. - you don't have to pick off each leaf the way you do with parsley)
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 garlic cloves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or whole)
1 1/2 pounds Alaskan cod fillets
Lemon wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, coarsely chop the cilantro and the parsley leaves. In a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with a pinch of salt. Place the cilantro and parsley in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely chopped. Add the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, about 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and the yogurt and process until the mixture is smooth and green. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and lay on the foil. Place a pan of just boiled water on the floor of your oven and place the baking sheet with the fish in the oven on the middle rack. Bake 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque on the surface and you can pull it apart with a fork.
  • Remove the fish from the oven, transfer to plates or a platter, and spoon on the sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

CURRIED FISH FILLETS WITH YOGURT SAUCE



Curried Fish Fillets with Yogurt Sauce image

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons minced green onion
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
4 4-ounce flounder or petrale sole fillets
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 large egg whites
1 cup toasted wheat germ

Steps:

  • Mix yogurt, cilantro and green onion in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Spray baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Place in oven. Rub each side of each fish fillet with 1/4 teaspoon curry powder. Whisk egg whites in medium bowl until foamy. Place wheat germ on large sheet of waxed paper. Dip fish fillets into egg whites, then turn fillets in wheat germ, coating lightly. Place fish fillets on hot baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until fish is opaque in center, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 2 minutes. Transfer to platter. Serve yogurt sauce alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm-fleshed fish: This will help the fish hold its shape during cooking and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Use a flavorful curry paste: The curry paste is what will give your fish its flavor, so choose one that you enjoy. There are many different types of curry paste available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the fish, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the fish gently: Fish is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it gently. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Serve with a variety of sides: Curried fish fillets can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Curried fish fillets with yogurt sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked in a flavorful curry sauce and then served with a cooling yogurt sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
