Best 7 Steamed Fish On Kale Recipes

STEAMED FISH ON KALE

Steps:

• Wash greens and shake dry, allowing some water to cling to leaves. Cut into rough sections, 3 or 4 inches long; cut off and discard any stems thicker than 1/4-inch.
• Put greens in a deep skillet that can be covered, along with wine, garlic, half the butter, and some salt and pepper. Turn heat to medium-high, cover and cook, checking occasionally to make sure mixture does not dry out, until greens are just about tender, 10 minutes or so.
• Put fish on top of greens, season with salt and pepper, and dot with remaining butter. Re-cover, and cook until fish is done and greens fully tender, 5 to 10 minutes more.

STEAMED CLAMS AND KALE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika and oregano and cook, stirring, until the mixture begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, clam juice and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and add the potatoes; cook until almost tender, about 8 minutes.
• Add the clams to the pot, cover and cook until they begin to open, about 5 minutes. Stir in the kale and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cover and continue cooking until all of the clams open andthe potatoes are tender, 4 to 5 more minutes. (Discard any clams that do not open.)
• Divide the clams, kale and potatoes among bowls using a slotted spoon. Top with the broth and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with bread.

CHINESE-STYLE STEAMED FISH

Steps:

• Arrange 1/2 of the green onions on the bottom of the steaming bowl (it is important to steam in a container in order to retain the steam and juices around the fish). Place 1/2 of the mushrooms and Napa cabbage sections on top of the onions. Place fish on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes over fish. Top with the remaining green onions, mushrooms, and napa cabbage. Drizzle soy sauce and water over everything.
• Place steam bowl in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

SEARED FISH WITH CREAMED KALE AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Prepare your fish: Pat the fish dry, then salt the skin side to help draw out moisture. Set on a plate and refrigerate, uncovered.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Prepare your kale: Pull the leaves off the stems and tear leaves into bite-size pieces. Wash vigorously, drain, then set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium. Add the leek, thyme and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the cream and bring to a boil over high. Continue to cook on high until thickened, about 5 minutes. Using a fine-mesh sieve set over a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, strain the sauce, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. (You should have about 1/2 cup sauce.) Set aside the solids and return the sauce to the saucepan. Whisk in the mustard and stock concentrate, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
• Discard the thyme sprigs and stir the cooked leek mixture into cooked rice, if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Once the sauce is done, blanch the kale in the boiling water until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain and rinse under cold water. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze out the excess liquid. Add to the strained cream, then season with salt and pepper. Cover, and warm over low, stirring occasionally.
• Cook the fish: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Pat the fish dry a second time, then season the skin with pepper, and the flesh with salt and pepper. Add to the hot oil, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crispy and golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and cook until the outside starts to turn golden, but the thickest part of the fish is still slightly translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the rice (if using), creamed kale and fish among plates and serve immediately.

BASIC STEAMED KALE

Steps:

• Throw in the garlic.
• Bring water to the boil. Cover pan, reduce heat to low and steam kale for approximately 10 minutes, or until tender.
• Remove from heat to serving dish. Toss with a little bit of oil of choice, if desired.
