Time 37m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, crushed or to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a shallow glass dish, stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin on them, place them skin side down. Cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from the dish, and reserve marinade. Fry fish for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.

SESAME CRUSTED FISH WITH SOY, BUTTER AND GINGER SAUCE



Sesame Crusted Fish With Soy, Butter and Ginger Sauce image

Mark Bittman. This dish is a breeze, largely because of the sesame seed crust, which guarantees both flavor and crunch. And the sauce takes about 3 minutes to make! Use any firm white fillets you like here, from sea bass to red snapper or grouper. I am partial to sea bass because of its buttery, rich taste...but that is a definite splurge.

Categories     High Protein

Time 15m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sesame seeds
salt and black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons canola oil (can use corn oil, needs to be a "neutral" oil)
24 ounces sea bass fillets (or other white fish, skinless)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat while you prepare the sesame seeds. Put them on a plate and season them with salt and pepper; add the oil to the skillet. When the oil shimmers, begin to turn the fillets in the seeds, encouraging them to coat the fillets as fully as possible, and add the fillets to the skillet.
  • Brown the fish on one side for a couple of minutes, then turn and brown on the other side, another minute or two. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the fish to a plate (don't worry if it's done); put the plate of fish in the oven to keep warm.
  • When the skillet has cooled slightly, return it to the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and when it melts, add the ginger. About 30 seconds later, add the soy sauce and 1/4 cup water and stir to blend. return the fillets to the skillet, along with any of their accumulated juices.
  • Turn the heat to medium and cook the fillets for a total of about 4 minutes, turning 3 or 4 times. (If at any time the pan seems to dry out entirely, add 2 or 3 tablespoons water.) At this point, the fish should be done (a thin-bladed knife inserted into its thickest point will meet little resistance.) Serve with the pan juices spooned over the fish.

BAKED FISH WITH SESAME AND GINGER



Baked Fish With Sesame and Ginger image

Here's a virtuous though incredibly flavorful way to prepare any firm white-fleshed fish like cod, halibut or rock fish. Marinate the fish in a bit of fresh ginger and sesame oil then bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. Finish it off with a sprinkling of black sesame seeds, chopped scallions and a few slices of pickled ginger. Serve over a bed of steamed spinach and tender white rice.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cod fillets, about 6 ounces each (or substitute halibut, rock fish or other firm white-fleshed fish)
Salt
pepper
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
3 or 4 scallions, sliced thin
Pickled ginger, for serving

Steps:

  • Season each fillet lightly with salt and pepper. Combine ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl, then rub the mixture on the fillets, massaging with fingers to coat evenly.
  • Place the fish in one layer in a baking dish, and tightly cover the dish with foil. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 3 hours and bring to room temperature before baking.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the fish on the top rack for 10 minutes. Remove foil and check to make sure the fish is cooked through. Return to oven for 1 or 2 more minutes, if necessary.
  • Transfer the fish to plates or a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and garnish with a few slices pickled ginger. Serve with stir-fried spinach and steamed rice, if desired.

SESAME-CRUSTED TUNA



Sesame-Crusted Tuna image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds, optional
salt and freshly ground black pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing the fish
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds tuna steaks, cut in 6 equal portions, approximately 1-inch thick
fleur de sel

Steps:

  • In a dry skillet on medium heat, toast the white sesame seeds until they are just beginning to turn light golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and spread seeds on a plate. Add the black sesame seeds to the plate if using, and stir seeds around with fingertips to combine.
  • Brush the tuna pieces on all sides with olive oil. Season on all sides with salt and pepper, and dip tuna pieces in the seeds, pressing to coat on all sides. Set aside on a wax foil lined cookie sheet.
  • When ready to cook, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium high in the skillet. When oil is hot, add the butter, when the butter foams, add the fish to the skillet. Let cook without moving the fish for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the sesame crust begins to crisp and brown. When the crust is golden brown, turn the fish and cook until the other side is golden brown and crisp, about another 2 minutes, adding additional butter if needed to keep the fish from sticking and speed up the browning. Once the second side is browned, turn the fish pieces on edge with tongs, to brown the remaining sides.
  • Remove from heat and set aside. Fish will be medium rare at this point. If you prefer fish more well done, place the ban with the fish in a 375 degree F oven for another 3 to 5 minutes.
  • To serve, slice each portion in half and place on the pasta bed with the edges overlapping. Sprinkle with finishing salt, if desired.

SESAME CRUSTED FISH



Sesame Crusted Fish image

This is a terrific and simple fish dish. I've made it for many years. This is best with a flaky fish such as cod or snapper but tilapia will work, too. A Jeff Smith/Frugal Gourmet recipe.

Provided by Pot Scrubber

Categories     Whitefish

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs white fish fillets, cut into nuggets
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cup flour, for dredging
2 egg whites, beaten
4 tablespoons white sesame seeds (not toasted... raw)
4 tablespoons black sesame seeds (not toasted... raw)
oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Marinate fish in the soy and sesame oil for 15 minutes.
  • Drain and dust the fish in flour.
  • Dip into the egg and then roll in the sesame seeds.
  • Deep fry the pieces in 360 degree oil for 4 or 5 minutes. No longer -- the sesame seeds scorch easily and will be bitter.
  • Make a simple dipping sauce with some soy sauce diluted with about a 50/50 ratio of water and some fresh grated ginger. Delicious!
  • You may need to cook this in two batches so that the temperature of the oil doesn't plummet. The oil needs to maintain a constant 360 temperature if possible.

  • If you don't have sesame seeds, you can use another type of seed, such as poppy seeds or sunflower seeds.
