Citrus Glazed Fish Food

GRILLED SALMON WITH CITRUS BUTTER

Steps:

• Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add the lemon and lime zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and completely mixed.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap out on your workspace. Spread the butter across the plastic wrap and roll into a log, twisting the ends to seal. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. This will give you a nice clean round of butter to top the fish with. Alternatively, you can leave the butter in a small bowl and dollop the butter on top of the fish once it's grilled.
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates with a clean tea towel. Grill the salmon for 4 minutes, and then flip and cook the second side for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Top each fillet with a slice of the citrus butter while the fish is still hot so it melts right over the top.

CITRUS-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degree F.
• Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.
• Measure the thickest portion of the fillet.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place in a shallow baking pan; set aside.
• In a small bowl stir together marmalade, green onions, garlic, wine, ginger, mustard, cayenne pepper, and five-spice powder. Spoon mixture over salmon.
• Bake, uncovered, for 6 to 12 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork. (have gotten varied responses on how long this takes, so definitely test it!)
• Transfer fish and glaze to a serving dish with a lip.
• Sprinkle with almonds.
• Serve with steamed asparagus, if desired.

CITRUS TILAPIA

Steps:

• 1. On a plate, combine the flour and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Lightly dredge the tilapia in the flour.
• 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove the fish and set aside.
• 3. Add the orange juice, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, and the ginger to the skillet. Increase the heat and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Taste and add lemon zest or more lemon juice if necessary. Return the fish to the skillet, coat with sauce, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through.

PAN-GLAZED FISH WITH CITRUS AND SOY

Steps:

• Place fish in a flat-bottomed glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold fillets in 1 layer. Stir together juices in a small bowl, then combine 1 tablespoon mixed juices with sake in another small bowl and pour over fillets. Marinate fish, covered, at room temperature, 10 minutes. Stir together mirin and 2 tablespoons soy sauce, then pour over fillets and marinate, covered, at room temperature, 5 minutes more (or in refrigerator up to 1 hour). Remove fish from marinade and pat dry. Discard marinade.
• Stir together water, sugar, and remaining tablespoon each mixed juices and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté fillets, skin side down, until just crisp and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn fillets over and sauté until browned, about 1 minute more. Add soy mixture to skillet and cook, swirling skillet occasionally, until sauce is reduced to a glaze and fillets are just cooked through, about 3 minutes. (If sauce reduces before fish is cooked through, swirl in 1 additional tablespoon water, repeating as necessary until fish is done.)

CITRUS GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, water, sugar and salt in a small skillet. Mix well, and bring to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Cook until reduced by half. Let cool until the glaze is thick and sticky.
• Brush onto grilled meats or fish during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Pour remaining glaze over afterwards, or use as bright decoration to your entree.

TRIPLE CITRUS GLAZED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Glaze: Bring all of the ingredients to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, stirring to melt the preserves and to keep the mixture from burning. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the glaze reduce until syrupy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
• Salmon:
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil just before grilling, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the salmon for about 4 minutes per side, brushing with the glaze during the final few minutes of cooking. Transfer the salmon to serving plates and brush them with the remaining glaze before serving.

POMEGRANATE-GLAZED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS-MINT CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the asparagus in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain, then cut the asparagus spears on the bias into thirds.
• Zest the orange, remove and discard the peel and cut the flesh into segments; squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes into a large bowl.
• Add the vinegar, mustard and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the bowl with the orange juice; whisk together. Add the orange zest and segments, asparagus, lima beans, hazelnuts, mint, parsley and scallions and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Position an oven rack in the second position from the top and preheat the oven to broil.
• Heat a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season all sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side down and cook for 1 minute.
• Set aside some of the Pomegranate Glaze in a separate bowl for serving, then brush the salmon liberally with the remaining glaze, being careful not to let too much drip down as the glaze will burn and hinder the crisping of the skin. Transfer to the oven and broil until the glaze is caramelized and the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Serve over the asparagus salad with a couple smears of the reserved glaze on the side.
• Whisk together the pomegranate juice, honey, sugar, mustard, cornstarch and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Let cool.

CITRUS-GLAZED FISH

Steps:

• Bring juices, A.1. and sugar to boil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat; simmer on medium heat 10 min. or until sauce is reduced by half, stirring frequently. Remove half the sauce; reserve for later use.
• Season fish with pepper. Place on rack of broiler pan sprayed with cooking spray; brush with remaining sauce.
• Broil, 4 inches from heat, 8 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork, carefully turning fish after 4 min. and brushing with remaining sauce.
• Drizzle fish with reserved sauce before serving.

STICKY CITRUS & MUSTARD GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Pour the citrus juice, honey and mustard into a saucepan and boil rapidly until reduced to a sticky sauce.
• Arrange the sliced fruit in the bottom of a casserole dish and scatter it with half the dill. Season the salmon fillet and put it on top of the fruit, then brush with the sticky sauce. Bake for 20 mins until the salmon is cooked though. Scatter with more dill before serving.

CITRUS FISH

Steps:

• Place an 18x12-in. piece of heavy-duty foil on a large baking sheet. Arrange fillets in a single layer on foil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with onion, parsley, and lemon and orange zest. Drizzle with oil. Top with a second large piece of foil. Bring edges of foil together; crimp to seal, forming a large packet., Bake at 450° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

• Remove fillets to serving dish and pour sauce over fish. Top with scallions and mint. Serve immediately.
