Pork tacos al pastor may get the fame, but this fish al pastor, based on a version at Mexico City restaurant Contramar, deserves plenty of glory. A potent chile marinade adds lots of flavor before the fillets hit the grill, and a do-ahead pineapple salsa is the perfect finishing touch.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 guajillo chiles, seeds removed
3 morita chiles, seeds removed
3 lb. skinless striped bass or halibut fillets, cut crosswise into (1½"-wide) pieces
½ cup fresh orange juice
¼ cup store-bought or homemade achiote paste
5 garlic cloves, 4 whole, 1 finely chopped
¼ cup plus 3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. kosher salt
½ red onion, finely chopped
1 habanero chile, finely chopped
2 cups finely chopped pineapple (from about ½ medium pineapple)
3 Tbsp. chopped cilantro, plus leaves for serving
Vegetable oil (for grill)
16 corn tortillas
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring guajillo and morita chiles and 1½ cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit 30 minutes to allow chiles to soften.
  • Place fish in a large bowl or baking dish. Transfer chile mixture and soaking liquid to a blender. Add orange juice, achiote paste, 4 garlic cloves, ¼ cup lime juice, and 1 Tbsp. salt and purée until smooth, about 2 minutes. Set aside 1 cup chile sauce, uncovered, at room temperature for serving. Pour remaining sauce over fish and toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, mix onion, habanero chile, pineapple, 3 Tbsp. cilantro, remaining finely chopped garlic clove, 3 Tbsp. lime juice, and 1½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Cover salsa and chill until ready to use.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; thoroughly clean grate and brush with oil. Working in batches if necessary, grill fish, leaving a few inches of space between each piece, until marinade is dried and beginning to char, about 2 minutes. Using a fish spatula, release fish from grate, turn, and continue to grill until charred on second side and flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Grill tortillas until just beginning to brown in spots, about 30 seconds per side. Top each tortilla with a piece of fish, then a schmear of reserved chile sauce, a spoonful of pineapple salsa, and some cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
  • Do Ahead: Pineapple salsa can be made 4 hours ahead. Keep chilled.

STRIPED BASS POACHED IN SPICY SOY SAUCE



Striped Bass Poached In Spicy Soy Sauce image

Poaching fish in a mixture of soy sauce and water is a simple, fast method that adds gorgeous flavor to fillets, which emerge moist and succulent. It is also flexible and forgiving, with a cooking liquid that can accommodate a host of seasonings. Here those seasonings are sugar (to cut the saltiness of the soy sauce), scallions and an optional fresh or dried chile pepper (either minced or put in whole), but you could experiment with ginger, garlic, lime juice or other flavors. Combine all the ingredients, except the bass, in a skillet. Bring to a boil, add the fish flesh-side-down, and adjust the heat so that the mixture does not bubble too aggressively. The fish cooks in 8 to 10 minutes, until its flesh is mahogany-colored and doesn't resist when you slice in with a thin-bladed knife. Serve on top of rice, garnished with the cooking liquid and the scallions, which are now limp and tender. Other fish, like cod, halibut, monkfish and salmon, also work, but keep an eye on it as it poaches - you will likely need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 to 1/2 cup good soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
About 15 scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths, or 2 or 3 spring onions or 1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 dried or fresh chile pepper (optional)
About 1 1/2 pounds striped bass fillet, about 1 inch thick

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, scallions, chile (if using) and 1/2 to 2/3 cup water in a skillet just large enough to hold the fish. Turn the heat to medium high, and bring to a boil.
  • Add the fish, and adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles but not furiously. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once or twice, until the fish is coated with a brown glaze and cooked through. Serve with white rice, spooning the sauce over all and garnishing with the scallions.
