GRILLED HALIBUT WITH INDIAN SPICES AND CORN RELISH



Grilled Halibut With Indian Spices and Corn Relish image

Here, a fragrant combination of ground cumin, turmeric, coriander and fennel seed is rubbed all over fresh halibut steaks (Pacific salmon, wild striped bass and hake also work well here). The steaks are then left to marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator before grilling. The cooked fish is topped with a quick relish made of fresh corn, ginger, onion, cilantro and a bit of the spice mixture that's been sautéed in clarified butter. It's an unexpected yet extraordinary way to prepare fish that might just win over the self-proclaimed seafood-haters at the table.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 halibut steaks, 1 inch thick, 2 to 2 1/2 pounds total (Pacific salmon, wild striped bass, hake steaks or fillets of these fish can be substituted)
2 lemons
4 tablespoons ghee (sold in Indian stores and fancy food shops) or clarified butter; vegetable oil can be substituted
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup cooked fresh corn kernels (about 1 ear of corn)
Oil for grill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Combine cumin, turmeric, coriander, fennel, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste. Rub fish steaks on both sides with juice of 1/2 lemon, then rub with all but 2 teaspoons of spice mixture. Refrigerate 3 hours.
  • While fish marinates, heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a skillet, add ginger and onion and sauté until onion just starts to brown. Stir in remaining spices and sauté, stirring, until spices smell toasty, then add corn and juice of 1/2 lemon. Cook briefly and set aside.
  • Remove fish from refrigerator and brush on both sides with remaining ghee or butter. Heat grill and oil grates. When hot, place fish on grill over medium-hot coals or gas fire and cook about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to turn fish and grill 3 to 4 minutes, until a little liquid just begins to pool on surface of fish and a paring knife inserted just at the bone can move flesh away from it easily. Salmon should be cooked about 3 minutes on each side. Remove fish to a warm platter or individual plates.
  • Reheat corn mixture, adding cilantro and a couple tablespoons water to moisten it. Spoon corn on fish, garnish with wedges cut from remaining lemon and serve.

Who does not want to stay healthy. To that end, we try to eat fish at least 2-3 times a week in my home. This recipe is for halibut, but you can certainly sub other fish. I like how freshness of corn and chili relish highlights the suppleness of fish like halibut.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 34

2 tablespoons canola oil
Handful fresh mint leaves, for serving
1 small Spanish onion, finely diced
1/2 small Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
3 heaping tablespoons Mesa Curry Powder, recipe follows
3 cups fish stock or vegetable stock
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
4 ears corn, grilled and kernels removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large skinless halibut fillet, preferably center cut (about 2 pounds)
Canola oil
Handful fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Grilled Cherry Tomato Chutney, recipe follows
3 tablespoons ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground fennel
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground chile de arbol
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pint grape tomatoes
Canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cider vinegar
Handful fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped mint
Zest of 1 lime

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Add the onions, apples and Mesa Curry Powder and cook until the onions and apples soften, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and three-quarters of the corn kernels. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, another 25 to 30 minutes. Strain the finished sauce into a large bowl, add the remaining corn and taste for seasoning.
  • Preheat a grill for direct and indirect grilling.
  • Brush the halibut on both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until slightly charred on the first side, about 4 minutes. Flip and char the other side, another 4 minutes. If the fish is not yet cooked through, rotate the grate (instead of moving the fish) so that the fish is over indirect heat. Cover and cook another few minutes until just cooked through.
  • Transfer the cooked fish to a large serving platter. Lade over some of the corn-coconut curry sauce. Scatter the herbs over the sauce, and then top with some Grilled Cherry Tomato Chutney.
  • Combine all the spices in a small bowl.
  • Prepare a charcoal grill for direct grilling, high heat.
  • Toss the tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a grill basket and grill until charred and slightly soft, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the vinegar, sugar, coriander and cumin seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened to a glaze, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then pour over the tomatoes. Toss, mashing the tomatoes slightly. Add the herbs and the zest, toss again, taste and season.

CUMIN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH SWEET CORN SAUCE



Cumin-Seared Halibut with Sweet Corn Sauce image

Northern Pacific halibut is my fish of choice to have in the warmer months. It is a flat fish and deserves special care when handling. Since it can be a little more expensive, I save it for special occasions. The sauce relies on corn, which is very important to Native American culture and recipes. Use blue corn if you can get ahold of it. Otherwise, sweet corn is a great go-to.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine, optional
5 ears corn, kernels cut off, 2 cobs reserved
4 cups vegetable stock
8 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Zest of 1 lemon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Four 6- to 8-ounce halibut fillets
2 teaspoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the sweet corn sauce: In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the canola oil, onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Sweat on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the wine, if using, and cook until it evaporates, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the corn kernels, reserved cobs and stock. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • For the halibut: Meanwhile, in a large plastic bag, combine 5 teaspoons of the canola oil, the cumin, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper with the halibut fillets and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Discard the corn cobs, thyme and bay leaf from the sauce. Carefully pour the mixture into a blender and puree on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes. The natural starches will activate and thicken the sauce. Pour the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. Simmer over low heat until it reduces by half, about 15 minutes.
  • To finish the halibut, in a medium sauté pan, heat the butter and remaining 3 teaspoons canola oil over high heat until the butter melts and the oil is hot (a little smoke indicates it's ready). Place the halibut fillets in the pan skin-side up and cook until a nice crust forms on the bottoms, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and cook 3 minutes more. Lower the heat and continue to cook until the internal temperature registers 140 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Let rest, covered with foil, for a few minutes. Serve topped with the sweet corn sauce.

TURKISH-SPICED HALIBUT SKEWERS WITH YOGURT SAUCE



Turkish-Spiced Halibut Skewers With Yogurt Sauce image

Turkish chefs make these beautiful skewers with local swordfish, usually dousing the fish in a garlicky lemony marinade before cooking. Bay leaves (they grow wild) are usually a presence, too. David Tanis took that inspiration and made the fish halibut, adding thinly sliced lemons and onions, along with pinches of aromatic cumin and coriander, and a heavy hand with the bay leaves. You would think this might be overkill, but in fact it only enhances the sweetness of the fish.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds boneless halibut or other firm-fleshed fish
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and coarsely ground
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and coarsely ground
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced, plus 1 garlic clove, grated or smashed to a paste
8 bay leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup plain yogurt
Pinch cayenne
1 small cucumber, about 2 ounces, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cut halibut into large chunks of equal size and thread onto skewers. You should have 4 kebabs weighing about 6 ounces each. Lay them in a shallow dish. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a mixing bowl, put cumin, coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, onion, lemon, minced garlic and bay leaves. Add olive oil and stir together. Spoon mixture over fish skewers and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour.
  • Put yogurt in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add garlic paste, cayenne and cucumber. Mix mint, dill and parsley together, add half to yogurt mixture, and reserve the rest. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Heat a grill or broiler. When it is hot, cook skewers for about 2 minutes per side, until just opaque. (Leave some lemon, onion and bay leaf clinging to fish, so they char a bit.) Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining herb mixture. Serve with yogurt sauce on the side.
