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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tuna steaks (1-inch thick)
vegetable oil, for brushing tuna
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons wasabi paste
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Arrange tuna steaks in one layer in a shallow dish and lightly brush both sides with oil.
  • Spread peppercorns and dill evenly on both sides of tuna and marinate 20 minutes.
  • Grill tuna on a oiled rack set about 5-6 inches over glowing coals. 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare fish. (Alternatively, grill tuna in a preheated oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan).
  • Make sauce while tuna marinates:.
  • In a heavy saucepan combine scallions, coriander, lime juice, soy sauce and wasabi paste and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting pan from heat occasionally to cool mixture and adding each new piece before previous one has melted completely. (Do not allow sauce to simmer. Sauce should not get hot enough to seperate).
  • This dish goes well served with garlic mashed potatoes and french green beans.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LIME, DILL, BUTTER SAUCE



Chicken Breasts With Lime, Dill, Butter Sauce image

Make and share this Chicken Breasts With Lime, Dill, Butter Sauce recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Heather N.

Categories     Sauces

Time 25m

Yield 4 chicken breasts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup salted butter
4 tablespoons lime juice (the store-bought kind)
3 -4 limes
3 tablespoons dill weed
1 teaspoon minced garlic (to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper chicken breasts, and sprinkle both sides with a little dill weed.
  • Heat large skillet on medium heat.
  • Melt 1/2 stick of butter in skillet, garlic, salt & pepper, 1T of dill weed, 2T lime juice and the juice of 1.5-2 limes.
  • Add chicken breasts, over medium heat cook approximately 6-8 minutes per side or until done.
  • In seperate smaller skillet combine the other 1/2 stick of butter, 1.5T dillweed, 2T lime juice and juice of 1.5 lime (save at least 1/2 of a lime for garnish). Heat over low heat until combined and melted.
  • Pour sauce from second skillet over plated chicken breasts.
  • Garnish with lime slices. Slice off a thin circle of lime. Cut 1/2 down center and then pull ends in opposite directions to create a spiral like shape.
  • I serve this dish with rice or parmesan angel hair pasta and a vegetable.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice is not a good substitute.
  • To zest a lime, use a microplane or a fine grater. Avoid grating the white pith, as it is bitter.
  • Clarified butter is best for this sauce, as it has a higher smoke point and will not brown as easily as regular butter.
  • If you don't have clarified butter, you can make your own by melting unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. When the butter has melted, skim off the white foam that forms on the top. The clarified butter is the clear liquid that remains.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce, as it will become thick and curdled.
  • Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Lime butter sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes, such as fish, chicken, and vegetables. It is also a great way to add a pop of flavor to grilled or roasted meats. The bright, citrusy flavor of the limes pairs perfectly with the rich, buttery sauce. This sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
