Provided by Nancie McDermott

Categories     Mains

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry or Shaoxing rice wine
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3/4 pound halibut fillets or another white fish such as cod or snapper (skinned if desired)
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons shredded or grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons mild vegetable oil
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sherry, and sesame oil, and stir well.☞TESTER TIP: Once you begin cooking, this fish comes together very quickly. Have ready your sauce, tongs, and serving plate for the fish before you start cooking.
  • Fill the base of a steamer pan or a wok with about 4 inches (10 cm) of water. Place the steamer basket over the water.
  • Arrange the fish, skin-side down, on a plate that will fit inside the steamer. (If you have more than 1 piece of fish, leave a little space between them.) Lightly season the fish with the salt and then scatter the ginger over the fish.
  • Place the plate in position inside the basket or on the rack, and bring the steaming water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  • When the steam is flowing well, adjust the heat to maintain an even flow, and cover the steamer basket with its lid. Cook until the fish is opaque throughout when checked at the thickest part, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn off the heat and leave the fish in the steamer.
  • In a small pan or skillet over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil until it is hot but not smoking, about 1 minute.
  • Carefully transfer the fish to a platter, leaving any liquid behind. Quickly pour the soy sauce mixture over the ginger-covered fish, and scatter the scallion on top of the ginger. Slowly drizzle the hot oil over the top of the fish. Serve right away.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound halibut fillet
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
¼ cup lightly packed fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Pat halibut dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of fillet with salt. Scatter the ginger over the top of the fish and place onto a heatproof ceramic dish.
  • Place into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water, and cover. Gently steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Pour accumulated water out of the dish and sprinkle the fillet with green onion. Drizzle both soy sauces over the surface of the fish.
  • Heat peanut and sesame oils in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke. When the oil is hot, carefully pour on top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and water on top of the fish to pop and spatter all over; be careful. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

4 very fresh halibut fillets, skinless, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Salt and pepper
1 tomato, diced
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons ponzu
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
4 cups watercress, washed and picked
Salt and pepper

Steps:

1 garlic clove, finely sliced
1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot, grated
1 pinch salt & freshly ground black pepper

WHOLE ROAST FISH WITH LEMONGRASS AND GINGER



Whole Roast Fish With Lemongrass and Ginger image

A marinade packed with aromatics, like lemongrass, ginger, shallots and scotch bonnet chile, is crushed in a mortar and pestle and spread onto a mild white fish, such as a whole branzino, in this recipe. As with most marinades, the longer you let it steep, the better. Using the mortar and pestle is optional, but a highly rewarding process - and encouraged. If you have an asanka, the grooved surface will give the marinade a unique texture, with bouquets rising from the bowl as you work. Serve the roast fish flaked off the bone, over rice or alongside a fresh green salad.

Categories     weekday, seafood, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 pounds whole fish, scaled and cleaned (about 3 whole branzino)
6 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 stalk lemongrass (about 2 1/4 ounces), tough outer part discarded, chopped
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, scrubbed and chopped
4 scallions, green parts sliced and white parts trimmed and left whole
1 scotch bonnet chile, with or without seeds, chopped
1 shallot, peeled and chopped
2 lemons
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
10 cilantro sprigs, cut crosswise

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pat the body and inside of the fish dry, and space the fish evenly apart on an unlined sheet pan. Using a sharp knife, cut two diagonal slits, 2 inches apart, into the skin of each fish, making sure not to cut through to the bone. Repeat the slits on the other side. Drizzle both sides and the inside of the fish with 3 tablespoons oil, and season with the 1 1/2 tablespoons salt.
  • Working in batches if necessary, transfer the lemongrass to the bowl of an asanka or a mortar. Use the pestle to pound the lemongrass pieces until crushed and fragrant. Move the crushed pieces to one side of the mortar bowl or the asanka. Add the ginger pieces and repeat the pounding process until they're crushed. Combine the ginger and the lemongrass. Add the scallion greens and scotch bonnet chile. Use the pestle to crush and combine these with the lemongrass mixture. Add the shallot and zest of 1 lemon, crush and combine with the pestle. Stir in the turmeric and coconut milk. (Makes about 1 1/4 cup marinade.) Alternatively, you can do this step in a food processor. Add in the ingredients in the order listed, and pulse them all together. Stir in the turmeric and coconut milk.
  • Slice the zested lemon into 3 or 4 rounds. Spread the marinade generously over both sides of each fish and about 2 tablespoons into each cavity. Place a lemon slice, the white end of a scallion and some cilantro sprigs in each cavity. (At this point, the fish can be left to marinate for up to 30 minutes, or covered and refrigerated overnight.) Drizzle the tops of the fish with the remaining oil.
  • Roast the fish until firm and cooked through, rotating the sheet pan once halfway through the process, about 22 to 25 minutes. Slice the remaining lemon into wedges. Serve the fish over steamed rice or alongside a hearty salad, with the lemon wedges for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Make sure to prep all of your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Choose the right halibut: Look for halibut that is firm and white, with no brown spots. Avoid fish that is slimy or has an off odor.
  • Steam the halibut gently: Overcooking will make the halibut tough and dry. Steam the fish until it is just cooked through, which will take about 5-7 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to the halibut. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations.
  • Serve the halibut immediately: Steamed halibut is best served hot out of the steamer. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Steamed halibut is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile fish. It is a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other essential nutrients. The lemongrass and ginger in this recipe add a bright, citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the mild flavor of the halibut. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
