OVEN-STEAMED COD OR MAHI MAHI IN GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA



Oven-Steamed Cod or Mahi Mahi in Green Tomatillo Salsa image

I love tomatillo sauce with a range of fish, from salmon to shellfish to the lighter fish I am focused on this week. I used cod for my recipe tests.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2 or 3 jalapeño or serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded for a milder salsa
1/4 cup chopped onion, soaked for 5 minutes in cold water, then drained and rinsed
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
Salt to taste
1/3 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, plus additional chopped cilantro for garnish
1 tablespoon grapeseed or sunflower oil
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 1/2 pounds cod or mahi mahi fillets
Cilantro sprigs or leaves and lemon or lime wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Place the tomatillos in a saucepan, fill with water and bring to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Drain and place in a blender. Add the chiles, chopped onion, garlic, salt and cilantro. Blend until smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a drop of the tomatillo purée to test the heat. If it sizzles and sputters immediately, the oil is hot enough. Add the tomatillo purée, and stir constantly until it thickens and begins to stick to the pan, about 5 minutes. When you run your spoon down the middle of the pan it should leave a canal. Stir in the stock, bring to a simmer, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until it has reduced by about a quarter and coats the front and the back of a spoon like cream. Keep warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and lay on the foil. Place a pan of just boiled water on the floor of your oven and place the baking sheet with the fish in the oven on the middle rack. Bake 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque on the surface and you can pull it apart with a fork. Remove from the heat, transfer to plates or a platter, and spoon on the sauce. Garnish with cilantro and lemon or lime wedges, and serve. You will have some sauce left over.

MAHI-MAHI IN GINGER SCALLION SAUCE



Mahi-Mahi In Ginger Scallion Sauce image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 25m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 scallions (about 1 1/2 bunches)
1/2 teaspoon Oriental sesame oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
4 filets of mahi-mahi, 8 ounces each, cut 1/2-inch thick (swordfish with the skin trimmed off can be substituted)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Trim the roots from the scallions. Reserve four of the scallions. Cut the white part off the remaining scallions and chop finely. Trim the green of any wilted leaves and slice into one-inch lengths.
  • Place the sesame oil in a medium-sized saucepan along with the white part of the scallions and the shallots, and cook over low heat until they soften but do not take on any color. Add the ginger and chicken stock and continue cooking over medium heat until the stock has reduced to two-thirds of a cup. Strain the reduced stock through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, forcing as much of the solids as possible through the sieve. Set aside.
  • While the stock is reducing, blanch the green part of the scallions for a few seconds in boiling salted water, drain and immediately drop into ice water to set the color. Drain again and puree in a blender, adding a few drops of water if necessary. Remove the puree and set aside, covered, until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet to very hot and briefly sear the four reserved scallions. Set aside.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper. Add the peanut oil to the nonstick skillet and sear the fish for a few seconds on one side, turn and sear a few seconds longer on the other side, just until it begins to take on color but is not cooked completely through. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet and place in the oven.
  • Bring the reduced stock mixture to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the green scallion puree. Add the lime juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the sauce on each of four warm plates, spreading it to cover the bottom of the plate. Top with a fish filet and place a seared scallion on the fish. Serve at once.

After trying a few mahi mahi recipes, this one is definitely my favorite. This glazed mahi mahi is good with rice, vegetables or salad. Blotting the fillets before cooking allows a nice brown crust to form. Cod or halibut can be used, too. -Michelle Ibarrientos, Torrance, California
