Marinated Pickled Kingfish Escabeche De Serrucho Recipes

JAMAICAN STYLE ESCOVITCH OF FISH WITH PICKLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the salt, pickling spice, bell peppers, onion, garlic, and Scotch bonnet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and skim any foam that rises to the top. Simmer vegetables for 2 minutes; remove from heat and set aside until warm before serving. (Pickled vegetables may be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated in a nonreactive container until ready to serve. May be served warm or cold.)
• When you are ready to cook the fish, place the fillets on a nonreactive plate or platter and squeeze the lime juice over the fillets. Let sit for several minutes then pat fillets dry. Season well on both sides with salt and freshly ground white pepper. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, Essence, remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and white pepper and stir to combine. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour mixture and shake to release any excess.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan and, when hot, add the fish and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (This will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets you are using.) Transfer fillets to a platter and spoon some of the pickled vegetables with pickling liquid over the fish. Serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

PESCADO EN ESCABECHE (PICKLED FISH)

Steps:

• First, prepare the escabeche by heating a large sized saucepan to stovetop medium heat. Pour in a little olive oil to sauté. Throw in the chopped white onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper when the pan is ready.
• Sauté the mixture for 3-5 minutes while continuously stirring. Slowly pour in the olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Toss in the spanish olives, bay leaves, salt, and the black peppercorns.
• Stir the mixture around and reduce the heat to simmer. Set aside for 45 minutes. Heat a medium frying pan to medium-high heat. Cover the bottom of the frying pan with oil for frying.
• Season the king fish steaks with adobe seasoning, salt & pepper, and squeeze half of the lemon onto both sides of the fish. Slowly put each king fish steaks into the pan, and fry each side for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to not over fry the fish. It should be golden on the outside, while making sure the fish meat is still soft.
• Place king fish steaks into a small-medium sized glass container. Pour escabeche sauce over the fish and cover the container with a tightly sealed lid. Place in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours for pickling process. Before eating, let fish thaw to room temperature.

KINGFISH ESCABECHE WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on a plate. Dredge the fish fillets in the seasoned flour, tapping off the excess. Put a large skillet over high heat and coat with the canola oil. When the oil is shimmering, lay the fish fillets in the pan and cook until well browned, 5 to 6 minutes. You want a good sear, so don't move the fish around, just let it do its thing. Turn the fillets over and sear until just about cooked through, 2 minutes. Transfer the fillets to an 8 × 8-inch baking dish. Scatter the carrot, onion, and bell pepper on top of the fish and set aside.
• Put a small pot over medium heat and add the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the agave, mustard seeds, bay leaf, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt. When the mixture reaches a boil, pour it over the fish and cover with plastic wrap. Marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator. If chilling, bring to room temperature before serving.
• To serve, discard the thyme sprig and bay leaf. Divide the fish among 4 small plates and spoon the vegetables and the marinade on top. Scatter some chunks of avocado on top. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with cilantro leaves.
• Toasting Spices
• Put the spices in a dry skillet. Set over medium-low heat and toast, shaking the pan so the spices don't scorch, for just a minute to release the fragrant oils.
• Avocados
• Living in Miami, I often use Florida avocados, which are really large, easily four times the size of Hass avocados, with a smooth green skin. Most people think they have no flavor, but I find that while they're not as creamy and rich as Hass, they possess subtle nuances of flavor-plus they're less expensive! Because avocados can vary greatly in size, I call for cup measurements in the recipes.

RICK'S SEARED FISH IN ESCABECHE

Steps:

• In a large, well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 cup oil over medium-high heat. Pat fish dry. Working in batches if necessary, cook in a single uncrowded layer until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn, and cook until second side is brown and fish flakes under firm pressure, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove to a plate, and set aside. Discard oil from pan.
• Reduce heat to medium, and add remaining tablespoon oil. When hot, add onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and carrots are almost soft, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine cloves and black pepper in a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder, and process until coarsely ground. Add to vegetables, along with stock, vinegar, bay leaves, thyme, and cinnamon. Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Taste; season with salt (about 3/4 teaspoon), and stir in jalapeno strips.
• To serve warm, lay fillets over simmering escabeche, cover, and gently heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place one fillet on each of six plates, and spoon some of the escabeche over each one. Garnish with sprigs of thyme. To serve cool, arrange fish on a deep serving platter, and spoon escabeche over. As it cools to room temperature, the fish and vegetables will absorb much of the liquid.
