Grilled Fish With Wilted Spinach Noodles 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.

GRILLED COD WITH SPINACH AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Place cod on a piece of aluminum foil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Top cod with spinach, tomato, and onion; season again with salt and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over cod and top with mozzarella cheese. Fold foil over cod creating a packet, crimping the edges together making a seal.
• Cook on the preheated grill until fish flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 9 minutes.

GRILLED FISH WITH WILTED SPINACH & NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. Mix marinade well and marinate fish for 1 to 4 hours (no longer as the lime juice actually begins to 'cook' the fish)in a shallow oven-proof dish. 2. Broil fish 5 inches away from broiler, for about 3 minutes, skin side down. 3. Turn fillet and broil the skin side, approx. 4 min. 4. If fillet cooked through, remove from oven and cover with foil. 5. Heat Udon noodles in pot of boiling water for 1 min. 6. In a large skillet, heat olive oil, add garlic, and saute until the garlic 'sings'. 7. Add diced green onions and cilantro, saute and stir for another minute or so. 8. Add spinach in handfuls and stir until it wilts down. 9. Serve in deep bowls, a helping of noodles on bottom, then a helping of the spinach mixture, then place a cooked fish fillet on top. 10. Pour some of the liquid you cooked the fish in on top of you like. 11. Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds.

GRILLED SALMON ON SPINACH

Steps:

• Wash the spinach and remove tough stems.
• Place in pot with garlic and tarragon and cover. Cook over medium heat until spinach is wilted. Drain, arrange and keep warm in a serving dish large enough to hold salmon.
• Grill salmon on both sides, following the 10-minute rule of cooking 10 minutes to the inch of salmon measured at its thickest point. Transfer the salmon to the spinach bed and serve.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH WILTED SPINACH AND PEACHES

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill; when the coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 3 to 4 seconds) you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium-high.)
• Meanwhile, put the peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds and cardamom pods in a small sauté pan and toast over medium heat, shaking frequently to avoid burning, until they begin to darken slightly and you can smell them, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, then grind fine in a spice mill or mortar.
• Sprinkle shrimp generously with salt and pepper, then rub all over with the spice mixture, pressing gently to be sure it adheres. Set shrimp aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the ginger and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add the vinegar, orange juice, curry powder and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
• Put the peaches and spinach in a medium bowl. Pour hot dressing over them, wilting the spinach.
• Place the shrimp on the grill and cook until just opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes a side. (To check for doneness, cut into one shrimp and peek inside.) Divide the spinach-peach mixture among four plates and top each with 1/4 of the shrimp.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH TATSOI AND SPICY THAI CHILES

Steps:

• Mix first 7 ingredients in medium glass bowl. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place carrot in medium bowl. Cover with ice water. Let stand 15 minutes, then drain well. Brush fish on all sides with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; stir 1 minute. Add tatsoi; sprinkle with salt. Toss until tatsoi is wilted but still bright green, about 2 minutes; divide among 4 plates.
• Place fish atop tatsoi. Sprinkle each fillet with carrot; drizzle each with 2 tablespoons sauce. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
