Rainbow Trout with Jasmine Rice and Citrus Vinaigrette image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 rainbow trout, heads removed and cleaned
Salt and black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
Jasmine Rice, recipe follows
Citrus Vinaigrette, recipe follows
3 cups Jasmine rice, rinsed
3 1/2 cups cold water
3/4 cup finely diced onion
1 bay leaf
Salt
White Pepper
1/4 cup Champagne vinegar
3/4 cup fresh citrus juice (lemon, lime, or orange, or a combination), plus more if desired
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 1/2 cups canola-olive oil blend (1 1/4 cups each or your preference)
Salt
White pepper
Steamed fresh seasonal vegetables, accompaniment

Steps:

  • Season trout fillets lightly with salt and pepper on both meat and skin sides. Lightly dust fillets with flour and shake off excess. In a non-stick skillet large enough to hold all 4 fish, heat the oil and butter over high heat until almost smoking. (You may need to work in batches or use 2 skillets if you don't have one that is large enough). Carefully place the trout, meat side down, in the skillet and saute for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully turn the fish over with tongs and finish cooking on the skin side, about 2 more minutes. With tongs, remove the trout from the skillet and serve immediately with the rice and vinaigrette.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Add enough salt and pepper to make the water taste slightly salty. Cover and bring to a boil. When the water level drops below the rice, reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about 8 minutes and turn off the heat. Leave covered and let stand for about 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve hot with the trout.
  • Add vinegar, citrus juice, shallots, and mustard to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Slowly add oil while machine is running until emulsified; the vinaigrette should be thick. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add more citrus juice, to taste, if desired. Drizzle over trout. Toss with steamed fresh seasonal vegetables, if desired.

CITRUS RICE SALAD WITH PARMESAN



Citrus Rice Salad With Parmesan image

In all of American cooking there is probably no term less meaningful than "salad." I'm racking my brain for a way to narrow the definition, but the best I can do is a dictionary-like "mixture of food, usually cold or at room temperature, with some kind of dressing." That's not saying much, but it opens a world of opportunities, especially when the base ingredient is rice, which offers a far wider variety of flavors and textures than any other grain.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, lunch, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 to 2 cups any rice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed citrus juice, or more to taste (lemon, lime, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, or a combination)
2 tablespoons grated citrus zest
1 tablespoon sugar or honey
1 cup chopped citrus flesh (or whole segments, if small)
1/2 large red or mild white onion, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup or more grated Parmesan
Chopped almonds or pecans, optional

Steps:

  • Cook rice in abundant salted water, as you would pasta, until it's just done; white rice will take 10 to 15 minutes, brown 30 or a little longer. Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again, then put in a large bowl.
  • Combine olive oil, citrus juice, zest, sugar or honey, salt and pepper in a blender and turn the machine on; a creamy emulsion will form within 30 seconds. Taste and add more citrus juice a teaspoon or two at a time until the balance tastes right to you.
  • Drizzle vinaigrette over rice. Use 2 big forks to combine, fluffing rice and tossing gently to separate grains. Stir in citrus flesh, onion and mint; taste, and adjust the seasoning or moisten with a little more dressing. Serve, sprinkled with Parmesan and chopped nuts, at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a day, bringing salad back to room temperature before serving.

SEARED SCALLOPS, ORANGE RICE, AND CITRUS KEY LIME SAUCE



Seared Scallops, Orange Rice, and Citrus Key Lime Sauce image

This is a very quick cooking dish with tons of flavor. Fresh sea scallops cook up so quick and I love to use some fragrant jasmine rice flavored with orange zest to compliment the flavors. Serve this sauteed snow peas or fresh roasted zucchini, something light and simple to compliment the light dish.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Weeknight

Time 30m

Yield 6 Scallops per person, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

24 scallops (6 per person)
2/3 cup key lime juice (Key lime does make a difference. If you can't get key lime use 1/2 cup regular lime juice, it is not)
1/2 cup orange juice (approximately ... just the juice of 1 orange)
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
4 tablespoons butter (2 tablespoons to saute, 2 to garnish the dish)
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped fine
salt
pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 (14 ounce) box jasmine rice
vegetable broth (to cook the rice in)
1 approximately ... just the orange, zest of
2 scallions chopped white and greens
1 teaspoon butter
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Scallops -- Now before you start anything, just take out the scallops from the fridge, rinse well and pat dry. Then season well with salt and pepper and set to the side so they get to room temperature You don't want to sear cold scallops.
  • Rice -- Now even though it is quick cooking, the scallops take such little time we need to start the rice first. Now I happen to use the quick cooking, but you can use any Jasmine brand, quick cooking or not that you want. Just follow the directions for cooking the rice. But these are my changes. For the liquid, I use vegetable broth instead of water and I replace some of the broth with the juice of 1 orange, however much that will be depends on the size of the orange. Just make sure if it calls for 3 cups of liquid, use the orange juice and the rest should be the vegetable broth. This will just really help to flavor the rice as it cooks. I also add the zest of 1entire orange to the liquid as the rice cooks. Just cover and let cook as you sear the scallops.
  • Scallops -- As the rice cooks, time to make the scallops. In a cast iron if you have one or a stainless pan (NO NON STICK) for this dish heat up 2 tablespoons of the the butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil to medium high heat and sear the scallops. Once you place them in the pan DO NOT move. They take about 2-3 minutes per side and when you can easily lift them, then it is time to turn. They don't take long and don't over cook. When they become opaque and firm to the touch they are done. They will also continue to cook once removed. They should be golden brown per side. Once done, remove to a plate and cover with foil.
  • Rice -- Now the rice should be done. Add the scallions, butter, salt and pepper to taste if you want. Cover and set to the side. It is all done.
  • Key Lime Sauce -- Now in the pan where you seared the scallops, add the garlic and saute just a minute. Then add the orange juice, key lime juice, honey, ginger, red pepper flakes and reduce on medium for 3-4 minutes to reduce. Then add in the cilantro, salt and pepper if needed and butter to glisten the sauce.
  • Serve -- Serve the orange rice and top with 6 of the scallops per person and top with the key lime sauce. I love to garnish this with a lime and orange slice to let those know what is in the dish.

CITRUS RICE SALAD WITH PARMESAN



Citrus Rice Salad With Parmesan image

Found several interesting looking rice salads in the NY Times on July 30, 2008 by Mark Bittman (the minimalist). He says rice salads are among the few salads that don't deteriorate after the dressing is added, so they can be dressed minutes or hours ahead. He recommends that you cook the rice a bit in advance, and dress it before it gets too cold. He also recommends that you cook the rice like a pasta, in abundant salted water (for between 15 and 45 minutes, depending on the rice) and then drain it and dress it when the rice is cool enough to handle. Cooking time is for white rice. Slightly adjusted to suit my dietary preferences (lower fat, but you can increase the olive oil and cheese as you see fit).

Brown Rice Citrus Salad image

What a refreshing salad! The cranberry and orange add a nice zing. This is perfect for a potluck or picnic. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a large crowd. Yummy!

Provided by Trish Morris

Categories     Other Salads

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c brown and wild rice (I ran out of wild rice so i just used brown)
1/2 c dried cranberries
3/4 c pecans - toasted and chopped
2 stalk(s) green onion (fine slice)
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
3/4 tsp orange zest
fresh cracked pepper (to taste)
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • 1. Cook rice as per directions and cool in fridge. Combine liquid and pour over rice. Add rest of ingredients and chill.

Tips:

  • Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking removes the starch, which helps to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Use the right amount of water: The general rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice. However, you may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the type of rice you are using and your desired consistency.
  • Cook the rice over low heat: Cooking the rice over low heat helps to prevent the rice from burning and sticking to the pot.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Letting the rice rest for a few minutes before serving allows the rice to absorb all of the liquid and become fluffy.
  • Add flavor to the rice: You can add flavor to the rice by adding ingredients such as salt, pepper, herbs, spices, or citrus zest.

Conclusion:

Cooking citrus rice is a simple and delicious way to enjoy rice. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of meals.
