FRESH HALIBUT STEAMED IN SWISS CHARD WITH THAI CURRY CREAM



Fresh Halibut Steamed in Swiss Chard with Thai Curry Cream image

One of the most interesting food tours you can take is down the aisles of an Asian and especially Southeast Asian grocery store. There are all kinds of strange, exotic ingredients that generally are inexpensive and certainly worth a try. Over the years I've shopped in a couple of stores fairly regularly and have just been amazed at the diversity of products available, especially curry pastes. They come in every color and flavor imaginable, are delicious and very different from Indian curries. The curry paste I like best for this dish is one called Massaman curry, a red curry. I encourage you to try them all and use your favorite mixture.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 (5-ounce) portions fresh halibut cut 3/4-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
12 to 16 large chard leaves, tough center rib removed
2 cups sliced oyster mushrooms
2/3 cup finely sliced scallions
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup rich fish or mushroom stock
Thai Curry Cream (recipe follows)
Garnish: Cilantro sprigs and finely sliced, deep-fried leeks (white part only)

Steps:

  • Season halibut lightly with salt, pepper and lime zest and set aside. Blanch chard leaves in lightly salted water for 5 to 10 seconds until softened and then immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking and set color. Pat dry and wrap halibut pieces completely with leaves.
  • To serve: Add mushrooms, scallions and olive oil to an oven-proof saute pan large enough to hold fish in one layer. Saute mushroom mixture until its just beginning to color. Place wrapped fish on top of mushroom mixture, add the wine and stock and cover. Finish cooking fish on top of stove over moderate heat or in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish is cooked through. With a spatula, lift fish and its mushroom bed and place attractively on warm plates. Pour sauce around and garnish with cilantro sprigs and deep fried leeks on top of wrapped fish.

THAI COCONUT CURRY HALIBUT WITH FRESH SAUTEED SPINACH RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Thai Coconut Curry Halibut with Fresh Sauteed Spinach Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (24-ounce) bag fresh spinach, rinsed and dried*
3 medium shallots, diced
2 heaping teaspoons Thai red curry paste
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 can lite coconut milk
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
4 {6 to 8-ounce} white fish fillets, thawed and skin removed (I used fresh halibut, but you can use Barramundi)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 green onions, sliced thin on the bias
1 whole lime, juiced
3 stalks fresh lemongrass, optional
Note: I don't have any problems wilting baby spinach, but I wilt it low and slow with olive oil. Using frozen spinach really doesn't work with this dish, as there is a LOT of water-- and the texture of wilted fresh spinach is hard to beat!

Steps:

  • In a deep 10-inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Use tongs to toss the spinach. Once warm, add in the spinach and allow to begin to "wilt" (the spinach pile will begin to reduce). Once it starts to wilt season with a pinch of kosher salt and coarse black pepper. Remove the wilted spinach to a clean bowl and set aside. Note: I prefer to to make the spinach in a separate cast iron skillet, and the fish in another skillet. I don't mind cleaning two skillets, and I am better able to keep everything hot and ready to serve at the same time. Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel (if using one skillet) and add in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté the shallots until slightly golden around the edges. About 5 minutes. Stir in the Thai red curry paste and then pour in 1-1/2 cups of chicken broth, the can of lite coconut milk and a 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Stir, bring to a simmer and reduce by half. Note: If using the fresh lemon grass, cut off the root end and trim off the tips. Using the blunt end of a knife, "bruise" the lemon grass by pounding it a bit. Set into the broth to infuse with it's delicious lemony fragrance. Season the fish fillets with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Next place the seasoned, skinless fish fillets into the coconut curry broth and spoon some of the broth over top. Cover the pan and let the fish poach for about 7 to 8 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the lemongrass, with tongs and toss. Meanwhile combine the chopped cilantro, parsley, sliced green onions and cut the lime in half. Reserve 1/4 cup for garnishing. Divide the spinach among four shallow bowls, top with the fillets. Quickly add the chopped cilantro/parsley/green onion mixture to the coconut curry broth, squeeze in the entire lime, stir and ladle over the fish and spinach. Serve with cooked Jasmine Rice.
