Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ear corn, shucked
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into large wedges
2 limes, peeled, segmented and diced plus juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 cup small diced red onion
1/2 habanero chile, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced, plus extra leaves for garnish
1 avocado, small diced
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Four 6-ounce swordfish steaks
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high.
  • Grill the corn, rotating occasionally, until charred, about 10 minutes. Cut the kernels from the cob. Meanwhile, grill the mangoes on each side until charred, about 2 minutes per side. Place the mangoes on a cutting board and let cool slightly, then rough chop and combine in a bowl with the corn, limes, lime juice, red onion, habanero, cilantro, avocado and salt.
  • Combine the ancho chile powder, coriander and salt in a bowl. Brush the fish on both sides with the olive oil. Sprinkle the swordfish with the spice rub. Grill the swordfish until the outside is nicely charred and the interior is cooked through, about 4 minutes a side, depending on the thickness.
  • Place the swordfish on plates, then season with salt and pepper and divide the salsa among them. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and some additional cilantro.

SALSA FISH



Salsa Fish image

"My family loves outdoor activities, especially fishing," informs Diane Grajewski of North Branch, Michigan. "I give their catch of the day unexpected zip with salsa. It dresses up these golden crumb-coated fillets and keeps them moist and tender."

MAYA CITRUS SALSA WITH RED SNAPPER



Maya Citrus Salsa With Red Snapper image

Xec (pronounced "shek") is a sweet, sour, juicy citrus salsa from Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, and it makes a brilliant match with almost any kind of fish, cooked almost any kind of way. The combination here - orange, grapefruit, lemon - is not traditional to Mayan cooking, nor is it a mandate. Add lime if you have it, a bitter orange if you can find it. Don't skip the minced habanero, though, which adds a bit of heat and yet more flavor. The fish starts on the stove for a few minutes, and is soon moved to the oven to finish cooking, for a total time of less than 10 minutes.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange
1 small grapefruit
1 large lemon
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 habanero or other chili, seeded and minced, or to taste
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil
4 red snapper fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each, preferably skin on (and scaled)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut orange in half horizontally and section it as you would a grapefruit; do this over a bowl to capture all its juice. Remove seeds and combine flesh and juice in bowl. Repeat with grapefruit and lemon. Stir in cilantro, habanero and salt.
  • Put oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. A minute later, add fish, skin side down; season top with salt. Cook until skin begins to crisp, 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to oven. Cook another 3 or 4 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into thickest part of fish. Serve fish with xec, immediately.

OVEN-STEAMED FISH WITH MIXED-NUT SALSA



Oven-Steamed Fish With Mixed-Nut Salsa image

This recipe pairs two elements you can incorporate into many meals: a steaming method that accommodates any size of fillet and a nut salsa that's good on more than just fish. This recipe fashions a steamer using a baking dish, boiling water and the heat of the oven (see Tip for stovetop instructions), and steaming shows off the delicate flavor of mild fish and ensures tenderness even if things end up slightly overcooked. A crunchy and bright salsa made with salted mixed nuts - the kind usually served as bar snacks - balances the lightness of the fish, but it's also great on roasted chicken, winter squash, salad greens and more.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Handful of parsley sprigs, plus ½ cup parsley leaves and tender stems, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 pounds mild fish fillets of equal size (skin-on or skinless), such as cod, halibut, sole, grouper or salmon
Salt and black pepper
Boiling water
1 cup mixed, salted nuts, coarsely chopped (avoid peanuts, if possible)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons unseasoned rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pick a baking dish that will fit all the fish fillets in an even layer. Scatter the whole parsley sprigs in the dish. Pat the fish dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on top of the parsley sprigs. (The herbs keep the fillets from sticking to the pan and will lightly flavor the fish.) Pour enough boiling water around the fish to cover the bottom of the dish. Seal the dish tightly with foil and bake until the fish is opaque and flakes with a fork, about 10 minutes for thin fillets like sole and up to 20 minutes for dense fillets that are 1-inch thick or more.
  • While the fish is cooking, stir together the chopped parsley, nuts, olive oil, vinegar, honey and ½ teaspoon black pepper. (Measure the pepper; it's more than you think.) Season to taste with salt.
  • Transfer the cooked fish to plates, and discard the parsley and water. Spoon some salsa over fillets and pass the rest at the table.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like salmon, cod, or tilapia work best for this recipe. Avoid delicate fish like sole or flounder, as they may break apart during cooking.
  • Use fresh salsa: Fresh salsa will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a store-bought salsa that you enjoy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Make sure to leave some space between the fish fillets in the skillet so that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the fish until it is cooked through: The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Don't overcook the fish, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: Salsa fish skillet is best served immediately after it is cooked. The fish will be at its best and the salsa will still be fresh and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Salsa fish skillet is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover salsa. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give salsa fish skillet a try.
