Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Four 4-ounce mahi-mahi fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Cuban Style Orange Citrus Vinaigrette, plus more for drizzling
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill grates
3 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
2 cups long grain white rice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
One 14.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup plantain chips, crushed
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the mahi-mahi with salt and pepper. Coat in 1/4 cup of the Cuban Style Orange Citrus Vinaigrette in a shallow bowl or baking dish. Let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the bacon to a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring, until crispy, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon pieces, leaving the drippings in the pan. Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the rice, 2 cups water, cumin and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat. Cook until the rice is tender and the all water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the beans and bacon pieces.
  • Brush the grill grates generously with oil. Place the fish on the grill, rounded-side down, and leave it until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks, about 5 minutes. (Test it by gently lifting a corner -- if it sticks, cook it a bit longer and try again.) Carefully turn the fish over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes.
  • Divide the rice and beans among 4 plates. Top each with a piece of mahi-mahi. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Sprinkle with crushed plantains and serve each with a lime quarter.

Whole Fried Fish with Grilled Lime, Cilantro and Ginger Vinaigrette image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 limes, 1 zested, both cut in half
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, plus one 2-inch piece
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups vegetable oil or neutral oil, for frying
1 jalapeno
Two 1 1/2- to 2-pound whole fish such as red snapper or striped bass
4 cups rice flour
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves and small stems (plooms)
4 scallions, sliced on a bias and soaked in ice water

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the limes cut-side down and cook until deeply charred, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, soy sauce and fish sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  • Add the frying oil to a cast-iron skillet large enough so the oil comes no more than halfway up the skillet sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeno and 2-inch piece ginger to the oil.
  • Place the fish on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. Make slashes crosswise on a diagonal along the body of the fish every 2 inches on both sides, cutting all the way down to the bone. Season the fish generously inside and out with salt. Mix together the rice flour, coriander, lime zest and 1 tablespoon salt in a shallow bowl. Dredge the fish in the seasoned rice flour.
  • When the oil is 350 degrees F, grip a fish firmly by the tail and carefully lower head-first into the skillet, making sure to lay it down away from you. Repeat with the other fish. Fry until the flesh on the bottom side is cooked through and the skin is deeply browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. While the fish are frying, baste the inside of the heads with hot oil periodically.
  • Use tongs and a fish spatula to carefully turn both fish over. Fry until the flesh on the second side is cooked through and the skin is deeply browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and season both sides with more salt.
  • To serve: Place both fish on a platter. Spoon the ginger vinaigrette over the top and around the fish. Garnish with cilantro and scallions and place the grilled limes around the edges.
