Crunchy Wasabi-Crusted Fish with Red-Cabbage Slaw image

Categories     Fish     Mustard     Bake     Quick & Easy     Wasabi     Cabbage     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For fish
4 (3/4- to 1-inch-thick) skinless white-fleshed fish fillets, such as Pacific cod or halibut (6 oz each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi paste (from a tube)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 to 1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
For slaw
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped)
8 oz shredded red cabbage (4 cups; from a 10-oz package)
Accompaniment: pickled ginger (sushi ginger)

Steps:

  • Prepare fish:
  • Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil.
  • Pat fillets dry, then arrange in baking pan. Sprinkle salt all over fillets. Stir together wasabi paste and mayonnaise in a bowl, then spread tops of fillets with half of mayonnaise and sprinkle with half of panko. Turn fillets over and spread with remaining mayonnaise, then sprinkle with remaining crumbs.
  • Bake until fish is just cooked through, 12 to 16 minutes, then broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until crumbs on top are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Make slaw while fish bakes:
  • Stir together vinegar, sugar, mustard, and salt in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Halve cucumber lengthwise, then thinly slice. Add to dressing along with cabbage and stir to coat. Serve slaw alongside fish.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest salmon fillet you can find. This will ensure that the fish is tender and flavorful.
  • Make sure to pat the salmon fillet dry before coating it with the wasabi mixture. This will help the coating adhere to the fish.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the pistachios and bread crumbs by hand.
  • Be careful not to overcook the salmon. It should be cooked until it is just opaque in the center.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Wasabi-crusted salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of the spicy wasabi and the crunchy pistachio crust is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook salmon, give this recipe a try.
