SESAME-CRUSTED FISH WITH BUTTER AND GINGER SAUCE



Sesame-Crusted Fish With Butter and Ginger Sauce image

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.

Categories     dinner, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sesame seeds
4 skinless fillets like black sea bass or red snapper, 6 ounces each
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons neutral oil, like corn or canola
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce

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.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar, plus sugar for dusting the cookies
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground espresso
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

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



Sesame-Crusted Red Snapper with Ginger-Dressed Snappy Veggies image

Categories     Salad     Ginger     Side     Marinate     Snapper

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2-inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and grated or minced
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar (eyeball it)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 radishes, thinly sliced
1 English (seedless) cucumber (the one wrapped in plastic), thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, quartered, and cut into thin strips
4 8-ounce portions red snapper fillet, skin on
1/2 cup sesame seeds, untoasted (available on spice aisle)
1 bunch watercress, trimmed of thick stems
1 cup (about 20 leaves) fresh basil, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup toasted unsalted peanuts, coarsely chopped

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.

STEAMED RED SNAPPER WITH GINGER, CHILES, AND SESAME OIL



Steamed Red Snapper with Ginger, Chiles, and Sesame Oil image

Categories     Wok     Fish     Ginger     Steam     Quick & Easy     Snapper     Hot Pepper     Sesame     Gourmet

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1-pound) red snapper fillet with skin (3/4 inch thick)
1 tablespoon medium-dry Sherry
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks (1 1/2 inches long)
1 scallion, cut lengthwise into 1 1/2-inch-long very thin strips (1/3 cup)
2 fresh serrano chiles, seeded and cut lengthwise into very thin strips
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

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.
