OVEN-STEAMED COD OR MAHI MAHI IN GREEN TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Place the tomatillos in a saucepan, fill with water and bring to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Drain and place in a blender. Add the chiles, chopped onion, garlic, salt and cilantro. Blend until smooth.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a drop of the tomatillo purée to test the heat. If it sizzles and sputters immediately, the oil is hot enough. Add the tomatillo purée, and stir constantly until it thickens and begins to stick to the pan, about 5 minutes. When you run your spoon down the middle of the pan it should leave a canal. Stir in the stock, bring to a simmer, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until it has reduced by about a quarter and coats the front and the back of a spoon like cream. Keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and lay on the foil. Place a pan of just boiled water on the floor of your oven and place the baking sheet with the fish in the oven on the middle rack. Bake 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque on the surface and you can pull it apart with a fork. Remove from the heat, transfer to plates or a platter, and spoon on the sauce. Garnish with cilantro and lemon or lime wedges, and serve. You will have some sauce left over.

STEAMED MAHI MAHI WITH VEGETABLES AND GARLIC MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a high-sided skillet over medium heat, add the canola oil. When it is hot toss in half the onion (reserve other half for the online Round 2 Recipe Grilled Chicken and Apple Wraps) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. (Reserve 4 pieces each of squash, and zucchini for the online Round 2 Recipe Grilled Chicken and Apple Wraps.) Add the remaining squash and zucchini, mushrooms, and broth and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish on the vegetables and top each piece with a sprig of thyme. Season the fish with salt and pepper, cover, and steam until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the fish to a plate and cover to keep warm. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Turn the heat to high and let the broth bubble, add the garlic and mustard and let cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
• Spoon the vegetables onto a plate and top with a piece of fish. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.

STEAMED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Cook the rice as the label directs. Meanwhile, fill a large skillet halfway with water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Set the bottom of a stackable bamboo steamer in the water. Sprinkle the scallion whites and 1 teaspoon ginger on a plate that will fit in the steamer basket; set the fish on top and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. Set in the steamer basket; cover and cook 8 minutes.
• Line another steamer level with parchment; add the bok choy and carrots and set on top of the fish basket. Cover and cook until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 7 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add the chile, garlic, the remaining ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, swirling the pan, until the garlic and ginger start browning, 2 minutes.
• Remove the baskets. Drain any liquid from the fish; cut into 4 pieces. Drizzle the fish and vegetables with the chile oil and soy sauce; top with the scallion greens and season with white pepper. Serve with the rice.
