Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fresh grapefruit juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 small bay leaf
3 tablespoons cream
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
4 (6 ounce) grouper fillets (or other firm white fish such as mahi-mahi)
1/2 cup flour
Salt and pepper to taste
Canola oil for frying

Steps:

  • Combine wine, grapefruit juice, orange juice, lemon juice, vinegar, shallots, and bay leaf in a small saucepan. Boil mixture over medium-high heat until it is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 15-20 minutes. Add cream and boil until mixture is reduced to 1/3 cup again, 1-3 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
  • Reduce heat to low and whisk in butter 1 piece at a time, adding the next piece of butter before the previous one has completely melted. Lift pan off heat as necessary to keep sauce from getting too hot if butter begins to melt too quickly and the sauce separates. Once all the butter is mixed in, stir in parsley. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Set the pan over a saucepan of warm water, stirring occasionally, to keep the sauce warm while cooking the fish. Don't let the sauce get too hot.
  • Make the egg batter by whisking together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt in a cake pan or pie plate. Set aside.
  • Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Put the flour on a plate. Coat each fillet lightly with flour on both sides, shaking off any excess flour. Then submerge the fish fillets in the egg batter. Turn the fish to coat both sides evenly.
  • Pour about 1/4 inch oil into a large non-stick skillet. Heat oil over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, lift the fish from the egg batter one piece at a time, allowing excess batter to drip off, and carefully add fillets to skillet. Cook, until golden brown and crisp on the underside, about 5-7 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until golden brown and crisp on the second side, 3 to 5 minutes more depending on the thickness of the fillet. Drain fish fillets on paper towels. To serve, place a fillet on a plate and spoon some of the citrus butter sauce over the fish.

FISH WITH CITRUS-CHILE SAUCE



Fish With Citrus-Chile Sauce image

This light yet earthy sauce lends a generous, almost floral warmth to any white, sturdy fish. For heat, there are crushed Calabrian chiles, smoky and sunny; for a mellow sourness, Moscatel vinegar - feel free to substitute apple cider vinegar and a little sugar to approximate the same fruitiness; and for funk, fermented white pepper (although regular white pepper will work too). Other notes include delicate marjoram, cousin to oregano but less forward, with its comforting contour of balsam, and Timur pepper from Nepal, fragrant and bright, calling to mind a just-peeled tangerine. (If you use Sichuan pepper instead, give it a citrus boost with extra orange juice and a shower of orange zest.) The sauce comes out denser than a vinaigrette but still loose and the orange-red of a young sunset.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 teaspoon Timur (Timut) peppercorns (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon white peppercorns, preferably fermented (see Tip)
1 1/2 tablespoons Moscatel vinegar (see Tip)
2 teaspoons crushed Calabrian chiles (in oil)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh marjoram leaves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon orange or tangerine juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
4 sturdy white fish fillets or steaks (about 6 ounces each), such as halibut, red snapper, sea bass or swordfish
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Toast the Timur pepper in a dry skillet over medium heat. When the pods are fragrant but not yet darker brown, remove them from the heat and let cool. Using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, crush into a fine powder, along with the white peppercorns.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, chiles, marjoram, juice, garlic and the freshly ground Timur and white pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes for the flavors to meld, then gradually whisk in the olive oil. Add salt. Taste and add more of whichever seasonings you like, whisking as you go. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Make the fish: Pat the fish dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper. If cooking on the stovetop, coat a skillet with oil and heat over medium-high. (The skillet should be large enough to hold all the fillets with space between them. If it isn't, work in batches.) Carefully add the fish to the hot oil and pan-fry the fish until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. (Gently probe the fish with a fork; if it flakes, it's done.) Remove from the heat and transfer to plates.
  • If grilling, heat a grill to medium-high. Generously brush or rub the fish with olive oil to coat. Place on the hot grill grates, skin side down if there's skin and cover if using a gas grill. Cook until the fish releases easily from the grate, about 3 minutes. For thinner fillets, the flesh will be just opaque throughout and starting to gape and the fillets don't need to be flipped. Simply transfer them to plates. For thick fillets or steaks, carefully flip the fish and cook until just opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more, then transfer to plates. Spoon the sauce over the fish and serve.
