Steamed Halibut Flashed With Thai Bird Kaffir Lime Oil Turmeric Fried Rice And Long Bean Salad Recipes

STEAMED HALIBUT FLASHED WITH THAI BIRD-KAFFIR LIME OIL TURMERIC FRIED RICE AND LONG BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Set up a steamer that can hold the 4 fillets. Mix lime juice, salt, sugar and water. Add the fish and brine for 20 minutes. Add the fillets to the steamer (should be lined with red leaf or banana leaf), top with the scallions and steam for 8 to10 minutes until cooked though. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the peanut oil very hot until almost smoking. Mix the kaffir, chile, ginger, garlic and salt and pepper. First plate the halibut and right before serving, add the mix to the hot oil, mix and immediately flash the halibut. Serve.
• It is recommended to use day old rice so that the drier rice can soak up the flavors. In a wok, add 2 tablespoons of oil and quickly soft scramble the eggs. Remove the eggs. In the same wok, coat with oil and stir-fry garlic and ginger. Add scallions and rice and heat thoroughly. Add soy sauce, white pepper and scrambled eggs. Check for seasoning.
• Blanch the long beans in a 350 degree fryer for only 1 minute until wrinkled. Mix in a bowl the sambal, fish sauce and lime juice. Add the hot long beans. Check for seasoning and adjust. Let sit at room temperature.

STEAMED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Line a steamer with fresh mixed herbs. Season halibut steaks with salt; place on herbs. Cover, and steam over simmering water until opaque, 5 to 7 minutes. Add a squeeze of lime.

HALIBUT STEAKS WITH CHILI AND LIME

Steps:

• If you have two large halibut steaks cut each in half, making four portions.
• Combine the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder and garlic in a shallow dish large enough to hold the halibut steaks in a single layer. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
• Place the halibut steaks in the dish, turn them once, cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Turn them again and marinate another 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill or broiler to very hot. Grill or broil the halibut steaks until lightly browned on one side, about six minutes, then turn and cook them on the other side. Baste them with the marinade a couple of times during cooking.
• When the fish is done, place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Spoon the heated marinade over the fish and serve at once.

LIGHT AND CRISPY FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs, milk, and flour together in a shallow bowl. Stir panko bread crumbs and seasoned bread crumbs together in another bowl.
• Gently dip halibut squares into egg mixture, the press gently into bread crumbs mixture to generously coat completely. Place breaded halibut in a single layer on a plate while breading the rest.
• Cook halibut in preheated oil until golden brown and crisp on the outside, 4 to 6 minutes.

• For the Fish.
• Steam the filets for 9 to 11 minutes.
