Fish With Herbs And Lime Food

FISH SKEWERS WITH HERBS AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, fish sauce and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Add fish cubes and gently toss to evenly coat. Let marinate while the grill heats up.
• Thread marinated fish onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers (see Tip), pushing them up so they touch. This keeps them from overcooking.
• When the grill is hot, lightly brush the grates with oil and add the skewers. Cook until slightly charred in places, about 2 to 4 minutes, rotating them carefully halfway through.
• Transfer to a serving platter, and immediately squeeze 2 or 3 lime wedges on top of the fish while still hot. Garnish fish with scallions and herbs, and serve with more lime wedges on the side.

BAKED SEA BASS WITH HERBS AND LIME

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6/400F/200°C
• Scale the fish well (ask your fishmonger to do it for you) and cut off the fins.
• Wash the fish thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with kitchen paper.
• Make slashes diagonally across the fish, about 4 cuts on each side.
• Place the fish in an oiled roasting tray and brush lightly with some of the oil.
• Grate the zest of 1 lime and squeeze the juice.
• In a bowl, mix the juice and zest with the chopped herbs, grated garlic and finely sliced red onion and stuff the mixture into the slashes.
• Cut the remaining 2 limes in 4s and place alongside the fish.
• Season the fish and lime with salt and freshly milled black pepper and drizzle over the remaining oil.
• Place the tray on the middle shelf of the oven for about 25-30 minutes (depends on the size of the fish) until the flesh feels just firm when pressed.
• If you want to double-check that the fish is cooked, part some of the flesh down to the bone and see if it flakes.
• Place the fish on a serving plate and pour the remaining juices from the tray onto the fish.
• To serve, place the roasted lime alongside the fish or you may want to squeeze the lime on the fish and then place the squeezed lime on the side for garnish!

LIME HERB GRILLED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Mix the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, lime zest and hot sauce in a blender or food processor.
• Stir in the fresh minced basil and rinsed capers.
• Place the fish in a single layer in a resealable bag or a flat glass casserole. Pour half of the marinade over the fish and seal the resealable bag or if using a glass casserole cover with plastic wrap. Save the other half for when the fish is done.
• Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator turning the meat occasionally to redistribute the marinade. Do not marinate any longer or the lime will "cook" the fish.
• When ready to grill the fish, remove from the marinade and place on a platter. Gently blot the fish with paper towels. Discard the fish marinade.
• Season the fish on both sides with the Seasoned Salt and Black Pepper.
• Oil the grill grates or us grill spray oil on the grates before lighting the grill.
• Heat the grill to medium high heat 450 ℉.
• Grill the fish until just cooked though 4 minutes per side. It may differ depending on your thickness of fish. A perfect medium is 130 ℉ to 135 ℉.
• Divide the halibut among 4 plates. Stir the remaining marinade and drizzle over the fish.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic and cook until golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes.
• Season fish with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper, add to pan and let cook for 1 minute. Add vermouth and 2 tablespoons water. Turn heat to low, cover and cook until fish is just barely cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Move fish to a plate, keeping any liquid and garlic in skillet.
• In the same skillet over high heat, add potatoes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and water to just cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Flake fish. Drain potatoes and garlic and place in a large bowl. Roughly mash potatoes and garlic, then add flaked fish, eggs, cilantro, basil, scallion, chile, cayenne, lime zest and panko and combine. Season with salt if needed. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
• Place flour on a plate. Form generous 1/4 cup fish patties about 1/2 inch thick. Dip patties into flour to lightly coat each side.
• In a large, preferably nonstick skillet, heat an 1/8 inch of olive oil over medium heat. Cook fish cakes until golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes each side, adding more oil as needed. Move to a paper towel-lined plate.
