Fish With Sesame Seed Sauce Food

WHITE FISH WITH SESAME NOODLES

Steps:

• Use a spice grinder or pestle and mortar to crush the sesame seeds, then stir in the soy sauce, oil, 1 tbsp of water and a splash of rice vinegar, to make a creamy dressing, season and set aside.
• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the noodles and cook following pack instructions, then drain and set aside. Using the same pan, tip in all the spinach and cook until reduced down and dark green. Tip in the noodles, along with the sesame dressing and a splash of water and toss well to heat through.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. Season the skin of the seabass, then place in the pan skin-side down, fry until the skin has crisped up and the flesh has nearly all turned opaque, around 3 mins. Flip over and fry for 30 seconds further, until the fish is flaking and cooked through. Divide the noodles and greens between two bowls and place the fish on top. Scatter over the toasted sesame seeds and serve.

BAKED FISH WITH SESAME AND GINGER

Steps:

• Season each fillet lightly with salt and pepper. Combine ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl, then rub the mixture on the fillets, massaging with fingers to coat evenly.
• Place the fish in one layer in a baking dish, and tightly cover the dish with foil. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 3 hours and bring to room temperature before baking.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the fish on the top rack for 10 minutes. Remove foil and check to make sure the fish is cooked through. Return to oven for 1 or 2 more minutes, if necessary.
• Transfer the fish to plates or a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and garnish with a few slices pickled ginger. Serve with stir-fried spinach and steamed rice, if desired.

SESAME SEED SAUCE

Steps:

• Toast the sesame seeds in a fry pan over medium low heat, stirring constantly (apprx 5 minutes).
• Crush with mortar& pestle or in a blender.
• Mix in remaining ingredients.
• Store in a bottle in the fridge.

FISH WITH SESAME SEED SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fish with sea salt & refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Mix the olive oil, salt & 1/2 cup of water in a nonstick skillet. Cook the onions in the skillet for 10 minutes or until the onions are soft & the water has evaporated.
• Allow the onions to slowly turn golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic & cook for another minute or two.
• Meanwhile, steam the fish over a pot of boiling water until the flesh is barely flaky. Cool & break into small pieces. Mix the fish in with the onions then spread into the baking dish.
• Combine the tahini & 1/4 cup water by beating well in a mixing bowl. Gradually stir in the lemon juice until smooth & creamy.
• Pour over the fish mixture & cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
• Serve cool or chilled, garnished with fresh parsley.

SESAME SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare mustard according to instructions.
• Mix mustard, soy sauce and oil in blender. You can use any type of soy sauce you like, but tamara can get to salty, so a less salty version is better.
• Add garlic, onion, ground seseame seeds and blend until smooth.
• Mix roasted seeds inches.
• You can substitute whole seseame seeds for the ground but make sure to blend on high for a long time.
• Warm if desired over low heat.

BAKED FISH WITH TOASTED SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Place the orange juice, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, and black pepper in a small bowl; stir well to combine.
• Arrange the fish in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the orange juice mixture over the fillets. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning once.
• Remove the fillets from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Set half of the marinade aside.
• Place fillets on a lightly greased rack in a shallow roasting pan. Broil fillets 6 inches from heat for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting occasionally with the marinade.
• Transfer fish to a serving platter. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds (I toast mine in a skillet while the fish is in the oven) over the fillets, and serve with the reserved marinade.

SESAME-SEED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Put the fish fillets in a dish and add the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Turn the fillets in the mixture and let stand until ready to cook.
• Put the beaten egg, milk, salt and pepper in a flat dish and stir to blend. Put the sesame seeds and cheese in a separate dish and blend.
• Put the flour in a third dish.
• Lift the fillets one at a time and, using the fingers, wipe off much, but not all, of the marinating liquid. Dip the fillets one at a time in flour to coat well. Dip the pieces into the egg mixture to coat on both sides. Dip in the sesame seed mixture to coat well.
• Heat the oil and butter in a skillet and add the fish fillets (it may be necessary to cook the fish in two steps if the skillet is not large enough, but the amount of oil and butter indicated should be sufficient). Cook two minutes and turn carefully with a pancake turner or spatula. Cook about two minutes on the second side.
• If all the fillets have not been cooked, add a second batch to the skillet and continue cooking in the same manner. Transfer the fillets to a warm platter. Pour the pan fat over all. Garnish with lemon wedges.

HYDERABADI FISH WITH SESAME SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the chile powder, turmeric, coconut and coriander in a small dish.
• Place a cast-iron pan over medium high heat, add the sesame seeds, and stir and cook until they start to jump and emit a roasted aroma.
• Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the combined spices from Step 1.
• Roast and stir the spices, off the heat, for another minute.
• Empty the roasted spices in to a bowl, allow to cool, then grind in batches until a fine texture (some of the sesame seeds may remain whole – do not worry about this).
• In a large frying pan, add oil to a depth of 1/8” and heat over medium-high heat.
• When hot, add the onions and stir and saute 10 to 12 minutes until reddish brown, reducing the heat as necessary.
• Remove onion from pan, ensuring as much oil as possible remains in the pan, and drain on kitchen paper.
• Reserve 3 tablespoons of the oil.
• Place the fried onions, along with the peanut butter, ginger, garlic, 2 tablespoons of tamarind paste, the salt.
• and 1 cup of hot water into a blender, and blend until smooth.
• Run a spatula down the sides of the blender, stir, then blend briefly again before tasting and add a little extra salt or tamarind as you think fit.
• Heat the reserved oil in a large, wide, non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
• When hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin, allow the mustard seeds to splutter (just a few seconds) then take the pan off the heat and add the curry leaves and the blended sauce.
• Swish the second cup of hot water around in the blender container, then add to the sauce in the pan.
• Lightly season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper and slip them gently into the sauce in a single layer.
• Simmer gently over low heat until the fish is cooked, about 5 minutes, basting from time to time.
• Thin the sauce with a little water if it seems too thick, and season with a little brown sugar as desired.
• Note: The sauce can be prepared ahead and frozen or refrigerated until needed.

SESAME-CRUSTED FISH WITH BUTTER AND GINGER 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.

ROASTED FISH WITH LEMON, SESAME AND HERB BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds, thyme, oregano, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Rub the mixture between your fingers until the herbs are bruised and fragrant. Stir in the bread crumbs and butter until combined.
• Season the trout with salt and pepper and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Spoon the bread crumbs evenly over the fish and bake until the fish is opaque and the bread crumbs are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
