SESAME CRUSTED FISH WITH SOY, BUTTER AND GINGER SAUCE



Sesame Crusted Fish With Soy, Butter and Ginger Sauce image

Mark Bittman. This dish is a breeze, largely because of the sesame seed crust, which guarantees both flavor and crunch. And the sauce takes about 3 minutes to make! Use any firm white fillets you like here, from sea bass to red snapper or grouper. I am partial to sea bass because of its buttery, rich taste...but that is a definite splurge.

Time 15m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sesame seeds
salt and black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons canola oil (can use corn oil, needs to be a "neutral" oil)
24 ounces sea bass fillets (or other white fish, skinless)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat while you prepare the sesame seeds. Put them on a plate and season them with salt and pepper; add the oil to the skillet. When the oil shimmers, begin to turn the fillets in the seeds, encouraging them to coat the fillets as fully as possible, and add the fillets to the skillet.
  • Brown the fish on one side for a couple of minutes, then turn and brown on the other side, another minute or two. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the fish to a plate (don't worry if it's done); put the plate of fish in the oven to keep warm.
  • When the skillet has cooled slightly, return it to the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and when it melts, add the ginger. About 30 seconds later, add the soy sauce and 1/4 cup water and stir to blend. return the fillets to the skillet, along with any of their accumulated juices.
  • Turn the heat to medium and cook the fillets for a total of about 4 minutes, turning 3 or 4 times. (If at any time the pan seems to dry out entirely, add 2 or 3 tablespoons water.) At this point, the fish should be done (a thin-bladed knife inserted into its thickest point will meet little resistance.) Serve with the pan juices spooned over the fish.

SESAME CRUSTED FISH



Sesame Crusted Fish image

This is a terrific and simple fish dish. I've made it for many years. This is best with a flaky fish such as cod or snapper but tilapia will work, too. A Jeff Smith/Frugal Gourmet recipe.

Categories     Whitefish

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs white fish fillets, cut into nuggets
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cup flour, for dredging
2 egg whites, beaten
4 tablespoons white sesame seeds (not toasted... raw)
4 tablespoons black sesame seeds (not toasted... raw)
oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Marinate fish in the soy and sesame oil for 15 minutes.
  • Drain and dust the fish in flour.
  • Dip into the egg and then roll in the sesame seeds.
  • Deep fry the pieces in 360 degree oil for 4 or 5 minutes. No longer -- the sesame seeds scorch easily and will be bitter.
  • Make a simple dipping sauce with some soy sauce diluted with about a 50/50 ratio of water and some fresh grated ginger. Delicious!
  • You may need to cook this in two batches so that the temperature of the oil doesn't plummet. The oil needs to maintain a constant 360 temperature if possible.

SESAME CRUSTED TROUT WITH GINGER SCALLION SALAD



Sesame Crusted Trout With Ginger Scallion Salad image

Sounds fancy but it's very easy. This is a nice dinner for two people. Have your fish guy do the deboning of the trout. My husband found this recipe in one of his fishing magazines but it's originally from Lucia's Restaurant in Minneapolis, Minn.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

20 ounces fresh trout, deboned
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup lemon juice
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 cup very thinly julienned fresh ginger, about 1-inch long
1/2 cup very thinly julienned scallion, about 1-inch long
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 garlic clove, finely mashed
1 pinch sugar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon cilantro, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Trout: Rinse each trout under cold water and pat dry. Dip each into the lemon juice and then dredge the skinless side in the sesame seeds to coat well. In a heavy-bottom, large saute pan, heat the butter and oil until the foam subsides. Place the trout skin-side-up in the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Lower the heat to medium and cook about 5-8 minutes; flip, and cook another 5-8 minutes, or until the flesh is pinkish white and flaky.
  • Ginger Scallion Salad: Combine all ingredients and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary. Pile a little of the salad on top of each trout.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 shallots, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 lemon, juiced
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 shiso leaves
coarse kosher salt
ground white pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
4 tablespoons black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine shallots, ginger, lemon juice, and white wine. Cook until liquid is reduced to approximately 2 tablespoons. Stir in heavy cream, and bring to light boil. Reduce cream by half; do not burn. Stir in soy sauce, then transfer to blender. Blend on low while slowly adding butter, a few cubes at a time, until all of the butter is emulsified. Roughly chop or tear shiso, add to sauce, and blend for about 10 more seconds. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Keep sauce warm.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Season both sides of the fillets with kosher salt and white pepper. Mix together white and black sesame seeds, and place in a plate or flat dish. Press the TOP side only of each fillet into the mixture, and press seeds into fish so it sticks. Make sure that the crusted sides are evenly crusted with the seeds. When oil is smoking, add fish, sesame seed side down to pan, and be careful of oil splatters. Pan sear fish for about 30 to 45 seconds per side. Place pan into oven, or transfer fish to baking sheet, and cook in oven for about 5 to 6 minutes. Serve sesame crust side up with ginger butter sauce.
