WASABI TILAPIA

Steps:

• Thaw the fillets. Make sure you have an oven rack placed very close to the broiler and turn on the broiler, the objective is fast and hot cooking.
• Place the fillets in a small shallow baking dish and smear each filet with the mayonnaise. Pour the wine into the bottom of the baking dish (not over the fillets). Place the fish under the broiler and cook for 5-7 minutes. You will know it is done when the mayonnaise begins to brown and bubble on the top.
• Remove the fish and "baste" it with the wine sauce (wine mixed with fish juice and mayonnaise drippings). Allow the fish to rest for 2 minutes.
• Move to plates and re-baste as needed.

CITRUS TILAPIA EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium heat. Fold four sheets of foil in half crosswise to crease, and then unfold.
• Combine the oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lemon zest, orange zest and orange juice in a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
• Place 1 fillet on one side of the crease on each sheet of foil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Divide the oil mixture equally among the fillets.
• Working with 1 foil sheet at a time, fold the foil over the fillet and tightly crimp the edges of the foil to close the packets to create a papillote. Place each papillote on the grill and close the lid of the grill. Grill until the papillotes are fully puffed, about 12 minutes.
• Carefully cut the foil to open and serve the fillets on the spinach and top with the Grilled Summer Relish.
• Prepare the grill to medium heat. Brush the scallions, corn, bell pepper and squash on both sides with the oil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Grill the vegetables until slightly charred and just tender, turning often, about 5 minutes for the scallions, 8 minutes for the squash and pepper and 10 minutes for the corn. Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut the corn from the cob directly into a bowl and mix in the scallions, peppers and squash.
• Meanwhile whisk the lemon juice, oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Add the oil mixture to the bowl of vegetables; toss to coat.

CRUNCHY WASABI-CRUSTED FISH WITH RED-CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Prepare fish:
• Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil.
• Pat fillets dry, then arrange in baking pan. Sprinkle salt all over fillets. Stir together wasabi paste and mayonnaise in a bowl, then spread tops of fillets with half of mayonnaise and sprinkle with half of panko. Turn fillets over and spread with remaining mayonnaise, then sprinkle with remaining crumbs.
• Bake until fish is just cooked through, 12 to 16 minutes, then broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until crumbs on top are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Make slaw while fish bakes:
• Stir together vinegar, sugar, mustard, and salt in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Halve cucumber lengthwise, then thinly slice. Add to dressing along with cabbage and stir to coat. Serve slaw alongside fish.
