Fish Filets With Asian Vegetables Recipes

FISH FILLETS WITH ASIAN VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Arrange the fish fillets in a baking dish . Place the water chestnuts and bamboo shoots in a colander, and pour boiling water over them to remove the tinny taste. Arrange the vegetables around the fish. Also arrange the scallions and snow peas. Bring the court bouillon to a simmer, along with the soy, sesame oil, pepper, garlic and ginger. Pour this over the fish, cover the fish with a sheet of buttered wax paper, buttered side down, and bake for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven, drain the cooking liquids, and reduce them by half. Serve immediately, dividing the fish among the plates along with the vegetables.

ASIAN VEGETABLES WITH FISH

Steps:

• Cut the perch fillets in 1-1.5 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) wide strips and sprinkle with lemon juice. Peel ginger and cut into sticks. Peel celery root and cut into large cubes (1.5-2 cm/approximately 3/4 inch). Parboil in boiling salted water for about 6 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water. Trim peas. Peel the shallots, cut in half and cut into strips.
• Rinse the Thai basil and pat dry. Cook rice according to package instructions, about 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the ginger with the shallots until translucent. Add fish and cook 2 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables, deglaze with soy sauce and cook for another 3 minutes. Season with pepper and arrange on plates with the rice. Serve garnished with basil.

PAN-SEARED FISH FILLETS IN GINGER BROTH

Steps:

• Discard any bruised or wilted outer leaves from bok choy, then cut leaves from stalks, keeping leaves and stalks separate. Thinly slice leaves and cut stalks diagonally into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Halve carrot lengthwise and cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry bok choy stalks, carrot, and ginger 1 minute. Stir in Sherry, broth, and sugar and simmer, covered, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut scallions crosswise into 2-inch pieces, then halve lengthwise and cut into very thin matchsticks.
• Add bok choy leaves and scallions to carrot mixture and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• While vegetables simmer, pat fish dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir together cornstarch and curry powder, then rub into skin of each fillet. Halve each fillet diagonally with a sharp knife.
• Stir sesame oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper into vegetable mixture and keep warm, uncovered, on turned-off burner.
• Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook fish, skin sides down, gently pressing occasionally with a metal spatula (to keep skin flat), until skin is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
• Divide broth and vegetables among 4 shallow bowls and stack 2 fish halves, skin sides up, in center of each bowl.

CRISPY ORIENTAL FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan combine the soy sauce, the vinegar, the gingerroot, the sugar, and pepper to taste and heat the mixture over low heat while preparing the fish.
• Pat the fish dry and season it with salt and pepper.
• Have ready in separate shallow dishes the cornstarch, the eggs beaten with the salt, and the bread crumbs combined with the sesame seeds.
• Dredge each fillet in the cornstarch, coating it thoroughly and shaking off the excess, dip it in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and dredge it in the bread crumb mixture, pressing the mixture to help it adhere.
• In a skillet heat 1/4 inch of the oil over moderately high heat until it just begins to smoke, in it fry the fillets, 2 at a time, reheating the oil between batches, for 45 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden brown, and transfer them to paper towels to drain.
• Transfer the fillets to plates, bring the soy sauce mixture to a boil, and spoon it over the fish.
