Best 7 Way Too Easy Sesame Fish Fillets Recipes

SESAME DILL FISH

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, sesame seeds, dill and salt. Place yogurt in another bowl. Dip fillets in yogurt; shake off excess, then dip in crumb mixture., Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Fry fillets over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lemon if desired.

SESAME-CRUSTED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.
• Heat oil in a nonstick pan.
• Brush fillets with the egg whites and season with salt and pepper.
• Coat thickly on one side only with the sesame seeds.
• Saute in oil, seed side down, until golden brown.
• Place seed side up on a cornmeal sprinkled baking pan and bake at 400 deg. until done - this will depend on the thickness of your fillets, probably will take about 5 minutes.
• Or, you can just turn over and panfry until done.
• Note1: Chef recommended grouper or red snapper; I've made this also with tilapia.
• Note2: Baking is really handy if you are making a larger quantity - that way you can finish all the fillets at the same time.

SESAME-CRUSTED FISH WITH BUTTER AND GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Put seeds on plate. Season fillets with salt and pepper and turn in seeds, patting to coat fillets as fully as possible with seeds. Add oil to skillet and when it shimmers add fillets.
• Brown fish on 1 side for a couple of minutes, then brown on other side for a minute or two. Remove skillet from heat, transfer fish to plate (even if not done) and place plate in oven.
• When skillet has cooled slightly, put over medium heat. Add butter, and when it melts add ginger. About 30 seconds later, add soy sauce and 1/4 cup water and stir to blend. Return fillets to skillet, along with accumulated juices.
• Turn heat to medium and cook fillets for about 1 to 3 minutes until desired doneness, turning 3 or 4 times. (If the pan dries out, add 2 or 3 tablespoons water.) Fish should be done when a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance at fillet's thickest point. Serve pan juices over fish.

SESAME-SEED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Put the fish fillets in a dish and add the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Turn the fillets in the mixture and let stand until ready to cook.
• Put the beaten egg, milk, salt and pepper in a flat dish and stir to blend. Put the sesame seeds and cheese in a separate dish and blend.
• Put the flour in a third dish.
• Lift the fillets one at a time and, using the fingers, wipe off much, but not all, of the marinating liquid. Dip the fillets one at a time in flour to coat well. Dip the pieces into the egg mixture to coat on both sides. Dip in the sesame seed mixture to coat well.
• Heat the oil and butter in a skillet and add the fish fillets (it may be necessary to cook the fish in two steps if the skillet is not large enough, but the amount of oil and butter indicated should be sufficient). Cook two minutes and turn carefully with a pancake turner or spatula. Cook about two minutes on the second side.
• If all the fillets have not been cooked, add a second batch to the skillet and continue cooking in the same manner. Transfer the fillets to a warm platter. Pour the pan fat over all. Garnish with lemon wedges.

STEAMED SCALLION GINGER FISH FILLETS WITH BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Transfer fish to 2 rimmed plates. Drizzle each piece with 1 tablespoon soy sauce mixture and scatter with julienned ginger. (Set remaining sauce aside for finishing dish.) Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Fit large saucepan with flat steamer basket, fill with 1 inch water, and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and transfer 1 plate to steamer basket. Cover and steam 4 minutes. Without lifting lid, turn off flame and allow residual heat to finish cooking until fish is just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Carefully remove plate (keep warm in oven). Return water in steamer to boil, transfer second plate to steamer, and steam remaining fish in same manner.
• While fish is steaming, in small saucepan over moderate heat, heat vegetable oil. Keep warm.
• Divide fish among 4 plates and top with julienned scallions. Pour splash of hot oil over each dish. Serve immediately with bok choy.
