Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger
2 tablespoons finely diced shallots
1 tablespoon chopped dill fronds
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound striped bass skin-on fish filets, or any kind of white fish
1 small yellow or white onion, sliced
1/3 bunch plus 2/3 bunch fresh dill, stemmed
2 plus 2 scallion stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
Persian cucumber, julienned
Pickled red onions
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
8 ounces vermicelli, cooked
Coco Rico Vietnamese Fish Sauce
Butter lettuce
"Mam Nem" (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix fish sauce, turmeric powder, garlic, ginger, shallots, dill fronds, and black pepper in a bowl. Add fish and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for no longer than 30 minutes, or else the fish will get too salty as you prepare the rest of the recipe.
  • Heat a little bit of oil on high heat in a pan/skillet and sauté onions until lightly golden. Add 1/3 bunch of fresh dill and two sliced scallions stalks to the party. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes. Plate the onions, scallions, and dill on a serving platter.Remove fish from bowl, drain, and dispose of marinade. Pat dry excess marinade with paper towels so the sugar in the fish sauce doesn't burn the fish.In the same pan used to cook the onions, heat a little more oil on medium-high heat. Pan-fry the fish for 3-4 minutes, or until both sides are evenly browned. If you have delicious skin-on fish, give some extra cooking love to that skin, which should turn nice and crispy before you flip it.Plate the fish on sautéed onions, scallions, and dill. Garnish with remaining fresh dill and scallions, cucumber, Pickled Red Onions, and peanuts.Serve immediately with sides of vermicelli noodles, Coco Rico Vietnamese Fish Sauce, and butter lettuce. Wrap everything, eat everything in a bowl, or whatever combination makes you happy. (I and many Vietnamese especially like it with "Mam Nem", a fermented fish and pineapple dipping sauce-don't knock it til you try it!) Enjoy one of my favoritest dishes evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds halibut fillets
8 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
1 cup fresh dill, leaves picked from stems
1 cup finely sliced scallions
4 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
For the fish marinade
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
For the pineapple sauce
1/2 cup cubed fresh pineapple
2 garlic cloves
1 Thai chile
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup fish sauce (nam pla)

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium-size bowl, mix the marinade ingredients together. Cut the halibut into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Add the fish to the marinade and toss well. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  • 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a blender, blend the pineapple sauce ingredients until smooth.
  • 3. When the water is boiling, add the vermicelli and stir. Cook until the noodles are soft but not mushy, 1 to 2 minutes. (Or just soak the noodles in a bowl of hot water for 4 to 5 minutes.) Drain well and divide among 4 plates; set aside.
  • 4. Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add half the marinated fish and reduce heat to medium. Cook until the fish starts to brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Carefully turn the fish pieces over, then cook for about 20 seconds more. Add half the dill and scallions and sauté for about 20 seconds, or until the scallions are wilted.
  • 5. Divide the cooked fish, scallions, and dill over 2 of the plates of noodles.
  • 6. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining fish, scallions, and dill, then divide them over the remaining two plates.
  • 7. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pineapple sauce over the fish and noodles. Sprinkle with the roasted peanuts and serve immediately. Pass the extra pineapple sauce at the table.
