SESAME-CRUSTED FISH WITH BUTTER AND GINGER SAUCE
This recipe came out of a 2005 kitchen cage match between Mark Bittman and the chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, in which Bittman, the home cook, sought to cook Chef Vongerichten's food more simply and perhaps just as deliciously. Judging by the quality of this particular dish, he succeeded.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Put seeds on plate. Season fillets with salt and pepper and turn in seeds, patting to coat fillets as fully as possible with seeds. Add oil to skillet and when it shimmers add fillets.
- Brown fish on 1 side for a couple of minutes, then brown on other side for a minute or two. Remove skillet from heat, transfer fish to plate (even if not done) and place plate in oven.
- When skillet has cooled slightly, put over medium heat. Add butter, and when it melts add ginger. About 30 seconds later, add soy sauce and 1/4 cup water and stir to blend. Return fillets to skillet, along with accumulated juices.
- Turn heat to medium and cook fillets for about 1 to 3 minutes until desired doneness, turning 3 or 4 times. (If the pan dries out, add 2 or 3 tablespoons water.) Fish should be done when a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance at fillet's thickest point. Serve pan juices over fish.

SNAPPY GINGERS
Steps:
- Special equipment: an electric mixer with paddle attachment
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and molasses and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, espresso, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, baking soda, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. (The dough will be quite soft.)
- Roll the dough into tight 1-inch round logs, wrap snugly in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and chill until firm (see Cook's Note*).
- Unwrap the dough and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Pour some sugar into a shallow dish. Press the top of each cookie into the sugar and then place cookies sugar side up on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Do not over bake; the cookies will become "snappy" once they have cooled completely. Transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool for 5 minutes.
SESAME-CRUSTED RED SNAPPER WITH GINGER-DRESSED SNAPPY VEGGIES
Steps:
- In a salad bowl combine the ginger, jalapeño, vinegar, salt, and pepper. In a slow steady stream, whisk in 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Add the radishes, cucumber, and bell pepper and toss to coat. Let the veggies marinate at room temperature while you prepare the sesame-crusted snapper.
- With a sharp paring knife, score the skin side of the snapper fillets: Slash 3 1/8-inch-deep cuts across the width of the fish. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Sprinkle and then gently press the sesame seeds onto both sides of the fish. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (twice around the pan). When the pan is hot, add the seasoned fish to the skillet skin side down. Sauté the snapper for 4 minutes, and if you find that the fillets bubble up in the center section, carefully press each fillet down with a fish spatula. Flip the fillets and continue to cook on the second side for 3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and opaque. While the fish is cooking on the second side, finish off the ginger-dressed snappy veggies.
- To the marinating vegetables add the watercress, basil, and peanuts. Toss to combine.
- To serve, distribute the snappy veggies among four plates and top with the sesame-crusted snapper.

Steps:
- Arrange a 9-inch metal cake rack or steamer basket in a 12- to 14-inch wok or a deep 12-inch skillet (with a domed lid) and add enough water to reach just below rack. Cover wok and bring water to a boil.
- Score skin of fish in several places, then put on an oiled heatproof plate that will fit into wok or skillet with 1 inch clearance around plate. Stir together Sherry and salt in a small bowl, then rub mixture onto both sides of fish, leaving skin side up.
- Heat vegetable oil in a small skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté ginger, scallion, and chiles, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds, and spoon over fish. Carefully transfer fish (on plate) to rack in wok and cover tightly, then steam until fish is just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Carefully remove plate from wok and sprinkle fish with sesame oil.
Tips:
- To ensure the sesame crust adheres properly, ensure the red snapper fillets are patted dry before coating them in the sesame mixture.
- For a crispy crust, make sure the cooking oil is hot enough before adding the fish fillets. The ideal temperature is around 375°F (190°C).
- To enhance the flavor of the ginger-dressed snappy veggies, use freshly grated ginger and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- When preparing the curry couscous, use vegetable broth instead of water for a richer taste.
- For a more vibrant color and texture, use a mix of chopped almonds and chopped pistachios in the couscous.
Conclusion:
This delightful dish combines the aromatic flavors of sesame and ginger with the vibrant colors and textures of fresh vegetables and nutty couscous. The sesame-crusted red snapper provides a crispy exterior and a tender, flaky interior, while the ginger-dressed snappy veggies offer a refreshing and tangy complement. The curry couscous, with its warm and inviting spices, serves as a flavorful base for the dish. Overall, this recipe offers a delightful symphony of flavors and textures, making it a perfect choice for a special meal or a sophisticated dinner party.
