Seared Peppered Fish Steaks With Crispy Slaw And Soy Vinaigrette Recipes

FRIED FISH SANDWICH WITH PEPPER SLAW

Steps:

• Make the slaw:
• Combine lemon and lime juice, hot sauce, olive oil, oregano, and salt in a large bowl. Add onion, jalapeño, and poblano chile and toss to combine. Let marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour while you prepare the rest of the dish.
• Make the tartar sauce:
• Combine cornichons, mayonnaise, parsley, capers, tomato powder (if using), vinegar, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl.
• Make the fish:
• Whisk flour, cornstarch, oregano, onion powder, tomato powder (if using), garlic powder, and 3 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add club soda and quickly whisk to incorporate.
• Pour canola oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/4". Heat oil over medium-high until shimmering, hot, and an instant-read thermometer registers 350°F. Dip fish into batter to coat, shake off excess, then fry until golden, crispy, and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary and adjust the heat as needed to keep oil at 350°F. Transfer to paper towels and season with salt.
• Assemble the sandwiches:
• Strain the slaw and discard liquid. Transfer slaw to a medium bowl.
• Spread 1 Tbsp. tartar sauce on both sides of each bun and place tomato slices on bottom halves. Divide fried fish and slaw among sandwiches and add top halves of buns.
• Do Ahead
• Slaw can be made, strained, and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead. Tartar sauce can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead.

PAN-ROASTED SWORDFISH STEAKS WITH MIXED-PEPPERCORN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Mash butter, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground mixed peppercorns, and lemon peel in small bowl. Season to taste with salt.
• Heat oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle swordfish with salt and ground mixed peppercorns. Add swordfish to skillet. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn swordfish over and transfer to oven. Roast until just cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Transfer swordfish to plates. Add seasoned butter to same skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits, until melted and bubbling. Pour butter sauce over swordfish and serve.

SEARED FISH STEAKS WITH HORSERADISH BUTTER

Steps:

• Steaks:
• 1. Set a heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, while preparing the meal and seasoning the fish steaks. Three to four minutes before searing the fish steaks, turn on the exhaust fan and increase the heat to high.
• 2. Set steaks on a plate, drizzle with oil; turn to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• 3. A minute or so after the residual oils in the skillet send up wisps of smoke, put the fish steaks in the pan. Cook over high heat until the steaks develop a thick, rich brown crust, about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Turn the steaks and continue to cook over high heat until the other sides develop a thick, rich brown crust and the fish is medium-rare to medium, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes longer. (For medium-well-done fish, turn the heat to low and cook, turning once, for 1 to 2 minutes longer.) Remove to a plate and let stand 5 minutes.
• 4. Serve with lemon wedges, or an uncooked relish or flavored butter. Or make a pan sauce by adding 1/2 cup liquid to the skillet; boil until the liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Tilting the skillet so that the reduced liquid is at one side of the pan, whisk in butter or other enrichments until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
• Butter:
• Mash the horseradish and butter into a paste. Add the vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Smear a tablespoon of flavored butter over each portion and serve immediately.

SEARED STEAK WITH ASIAN INSPIRED SLAW

Steps:

• In a small tureen, mix all of the dry ingredients to make the rub for the steak. Rub both sides of the steak generously and wrap it tightly in saran wrap. Put the steak back in the refridgerator to marinate for no less than 20 minutes.
• In a frying pan, put in your edamame, frozen corn, chopped red bell pepper, chopped onion, 2 of the minced garlic cloves, the sesame oil, 2 tbsp olive oil, the chili sauce and the soy sauce.
• When the steak is done marinating pull it out and set it to the side. In another large frying pan on medium, add the remaining olive oil and garlic clove. Saute the clove until brown in color and then put the steak in the pan and sear as appropriate to your liking. I tend to like my steak medium well so I do 7 minutes per side. Flip the steak half way done and then move to a cutting board to rest for 2 minutes before slicing. Always slice long strips of the steak at an angle.
• While the steak is cooking, turn on the frying pan with the slaw mixture in it to medium and saute for around 10 minutes. When it is done, pour it onto a platter.
• Place the steak strips on top of the slaw in your serving platter and it is ready to serve!

SALT-AND-PEPPER FISH

Steps:

• Rinse rice in several changes of cold water in a medium bowl until water runs clear. Drain well, then transfer to a small saucepan. Pour in 1¼ cups cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Give rice a stir so grains don't stick to the bottom. Cover pot and reduce heat to lowest setting. Cook, undisturbed, until water is evaporated and rice is tender, 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, still covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim dark green tops from scallions and thinly slice; set aside. Thinly slice white and pale green parts of scallions of a deep diagonal. Set aside separately.
• Mix ginger and 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Add cod and season with salt and sprinkle all over with pepper. Toss to coat.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook cod, undisturbed, until golden underneath, about 2 minutes. Turn over and scatter reserved white and pale green scallion parts on top. Cook, shaking the pan a few times, until fish is cooked through and some scallions are caramelized and some are just slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir vinegar and sugar in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Mix into rice. Add butter and reserved dark green scallion tops and gently stir until butter is melted. Season with salt.
• Transfer rice to a platter and top with fish; pour any pan juices over.
