Fresh Halibut Steamed In Swiss Chard With Thai Curry Cream Recipes

PAN SEARED HALIBUT IN THAI CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Season Halibut with lime zest, salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
• In your food processor, process your garlic, ginger, onion and lime juice until smooth or finely minced. This could pose a challenge for large processors, since its a small amount of ingredients. If so, do it by hand then add in the lime juice.
• Melt butter in a non-stick skillet or frying pan. Over med-high heat, pan sear the halibut, about 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through. (Cook time will vary based on the thickness of your fish).
• Carefully place fish on a baking sheet or plate tented with foil.
• In the same pan, add your mixture from the food processor and saute for 4 minutes. If you need to add a smidge more butter, do so.
• Add in your Thai red curry paste and tomato paste, blend well and saute for 3 minutes.
• Add in the wine and stir briskly, once its simmering add in the coconut milk, sugar and some salt & pepper.
• Stir, taste and adjust seasoning or heat if necessary. If you would like it spicier, add in a pinch or two of Cayenne pepper.
• Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Place the fish gently into the pan of sauce, allow it to sit for a minute or two and serve.
• OR plate the fish and spoon the sauce around it.
• Enjoy!

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

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.

HALIBUT WITH SWISS CHARD AND GINGER CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Brush fish with oil. Mix ginger, shallots and garlic in heavy small saucepan. Rub 1 teaspoon ginger mixture over each fish fillet. Add clam juice and wine to remaining ginger mixture in saucepan. Boil mixture until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes.
• Steam Swiss chard until just tender, about 30 seconds. Transfer chard to strainer and rinse with cold water. Drain.
• Pat chard dry. Place 1 chard leaf on work surface. Place another leaf next to first, overlapping long sides. Place 1 fish fillet crosswise near 1 end of chard, leaving 2-inch border on short sides of fish. Season fish with salt and pepper. Fold 2 long sides of chard over fish, then roll up fish in chard, enclosing completely. Repeat with remaining chard and fish. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover ginger mixture and fish separately and chill.)
• Place steaming rack over boiling water in large Dutch oven. Place fish on rack. Cover; steam until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to plates.
