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.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound center-cut salmon, skin and pin bones removed, cut into 24, 1 1/2- to 2-inch cubes
1 small red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide pieces
1 lemon, sliced into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and then quartered plus lemon wedges for serving
Herb Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, from 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
Kosher salt
1/2 cup packed basil leaves
1/2 cup packed parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the salmon, red onion, and lemon quarters to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
  • To assemble the kebabs, thread a few pieces of red onion onto an 8-inch-long metal skewer (see Cook's Note). Next, add a piece of salmon, followed by a quarter of lemon. Continue threading the ingredients onto the skewer until you have 4 pieces of salmon on the skewer. Set the finished kebab aside and continue the process with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
  • Generously oil the grates of the preheated grill. Add the salmon kebabs to the grill and cook, turning halfway through, until nice grill marks have formed, and the salmon easily releases from the grill, 4 to 6 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
  • Remove the salmon to a serving platter and drizzle with the Herb Sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.
  • Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the garlic is finely chopped. Add the basil and parsley leaves and blend until finely chopped. Transfer the herb sauce to a bowl to serve with the grilled salmon.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. This will ensure that your kebabs are moist and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor your kebabs. This recipe uses a combination of cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder, but you can use any spices that you like.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the kebabs with a variety of dipping sauces. Yogurt sauce is a classic choice, but you can also serve the kebabs with tzatziki sauce, pesto, or even a simple vinaigrette.
  • Enjoy the kebabs hot off the grill. They're also great served cold, so you can make them ahead of time and enjoy them later.

Conclusion:

Spiced salmon kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout. The salmon is moist and flavorful, and the spices give it a nice kick. The yogurt sauce is the perfect complement to the kebabs, and it helps to cool them down. Whether you're serving them hot off the grill or cold, these kebabs are sure to be a hit.
