Sake Steamed Halibut With Ginger Cabbage Recipes

STEAMED GREEN CABBAGE WITH HALIBUT FILLET

Steps:

• Heat water and butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat until butter melts. Add cabbage, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and steam, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender, about 25 minutes. Stir in dill.
• Season halibut on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange fish on top of cabbage in a single layer. Cover, and steam until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Season with pepper. Garnish with dill.

SAKE-STEAMED HALIBUT WITH DILLED CARROTS

Steps:

• Spray steamer rack with nonstick spray. Sprinkle both sides of halibut with salt and pepper, then sprinkle top of fillets with 2 teaspoons dill; place fish on prepared steamer rack.
• Combine sake and onion in large pot; bring to boil. Continue to boil 2 minutes. Add carrots and garlic to pot; return to boil. Place steamer rack with fish over liquid in pot. Cover pot tightly and steam fish until just opaque in center, about 8 minutes. Transfer fish to platter. Cut each fillet crosswise in half; cover with foil. Discard onion. Using slotted spoon, transfer carrots and garlic to small bowl; mix in butter and remaining 2 teaspoons dill. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon carrots alongside fish on platter. Boil liquid in pot until reduced to 6 tablespoons, about 3 minutes. Pour over fish and carrots.

SAKE-STEAMED HALIBUT WITH GINGER & CABBAGE

Steps:

• Soak the cauliflower in the ginger juice at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Drain.
• Meanwhile, in each of 2 medium skillets, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil.
• Divide the cabbage, leeks and fresh ginger between the skillets and season with salt, pepper, & crushed red pepper flakes.
• Cover and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned, about 8 minutes.
• Divide the sake between the skillets and bring to a boil.
• Add 4 halibut fillets to each skillet and season with salt, pepper & crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
• Cover and cook over high heat until the fish is firm, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the halibut and vegetables to shallow bowls.
• Garnish with the shaved cauliflower and sliced scallions and serve.

HALIBUT SIMMERED IN SOY AND SAKE

Steps:

• Combine the sake, mirin, dashi, soy sauce, and sliced ginger in a skillet or saucepan with a lid; it should be just wide enough to hold the fish. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, if you are using shredded ginger, soak it in cold water to cover.
• After the liquids have boiled for 1 minute, reduce the heat to medium and gently add the fish, skin side down. Cover and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers steadily. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the point of a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into the thickest part of the fillet.
• Carefully remove the fish from the poaching liquid. Drain the ginger if you're using it and garnish the fish. Pass the sauce separately to spoon over the fish and white rice.

STEAMED HALIBUT WITH LEMONGRASS & GINGER

Steps:

• In a food processor, grind up the lemon grass, ginger and garlic into a paste (it will look fibrous).
• Add remaining ingredients and spread paste on fish.
• Place in steamer and steam until fish is just beginning to flake, about 6-7 minutes.
