Gingerfish Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse & dry fish well.
• Cut lemon in half and squeeze, rubbing juice into fish, inside & out Refrigerate for about an hour then rub with vegetable oil and place in a shallow baking dish.
• In a blender, mix thoroughly soy sauce, corn oil, white wine, garlic, sugar and ginger. Pour over fish.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes until the fish flakes easily and juices are opaque. Baste frequently with sauce.
• Garnish & serve.

Steps:

• Pat halibut dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of fillet with salt. Scatter the ginger over the top of the fish and place onto a heatproof ceramic dish.
• Place into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water, and cover. Gently steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Pour accumulated water out of the dish and sprinkle the fillet with green onion. Drizzle both soy sauces over the surface of the fish.
• Heat peanut and sesame oils in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke. When the oil is hot, carefully pour on top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and water on top of the fish to pop and spatter all over; be careful. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Set a large bamboo or metal steamer basket over a skillet of simmering water over medium heat.
• Crush the ginger slices with the flat side of a knife. Place the garlic and half each of the ginger and scallions on a plate that will fit inside the steamer. Score the fish skin a few times with a knife; season with salt and pepper. Place the fish skin-side up on the plate, drizzle with 2 teaspoons sesame oil and sprinkle with the sugar. Put the plate in the steamer. Mix the soy sauce and rice wine and pour over the fish.
• Cover and steam the fish until just cooked through, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness. Carefully remove the hot plate. Add the snow peas to the steamer, season with salt, cover and cook until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Transfer the fish to a platter, spoon the juices on top and sprinkle with the remaining scallions. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the peanut oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the remaining ginger and cook until it begins to brown. Pour the hot oil over the fish.

Steps:

• Quick-marinate the fish in the Curry Marinade. Place the fish fillets in a shallow bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the fish. Seal and place in the refrigerator, turning the fish halfway through, for 1 hour.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add oil. Carefully remove the fillets from the marinade; reserve the marinade. Place the fillets in the hot pan. Spoon the marinade over the thick parts of the fillets. This is where all the flavor is. It will also form a delicious crust. Sear on one side, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and cook on the other side until the flesh has turned white and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Place half the rice at the center of each of two plates. Pour Thai Curry Butter Sauce around the rice. Press the rice down using a spatula to form a bed for the fish. Stack 2 fillets side-by-side over the rice on each plate. Top the fish on each plate with Cucumber-Macadamia Nut Relish. Place Green Beans to side of rice on each plate. Generously drizzle Thai sweet chile over relish and butter sauce.
• Place canola oil, brown sugar, sesame oil, scallions, ginger, lemongrass, mint and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth. Best made the day before to allow flavors to marry.
• Using a small pot, stir together white wine, vinegar, peppercorns, onion, bay leaf and ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce until there's about 1/2 cup liquid left and it has darkened in color. Add heavy cream. Reduce by half. Add the butter in small amounts, whisking over medium heat and letting butter dissolve before adding more, and cooking until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Strain the sauce. Whisk in sweet Thai chile sauce, curry powder, soy sauce, lemon juice and salt. Cover and keep in a warm area until ready to use.
• Mix cucumbers, nuts, chile sauce, furikake, sambal, sesame oil, granulated sugar, vinegar and salt in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until cold. Best made the day before to allow flavors to marry.
• Heat a large saute pan on medium-high heat. Add oil. Add green beans and saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a heatproof plate that is both large enough to accommodate it (a glass pie plate works well) and will also fit inside your steamer, bending the fish slightly if it is too long. Stuff half of the ginger inside the cavity of the fish and spread the remaining ginger on top of the fish.
• 2. Pour water into a wok or stockpot and set a steamer in the wok or on the rim of the stockpot. Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
• 3. Place the plate holding the fish in the steamer, cover, and steam for about 8 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife.
• 4. While the fish is steaming, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, wine, and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
• 5. When the fish is ready, carefully remove the plate from the steamer and pour off any accumulated liquid. Lay the scallion and cilantro along the top of the fish. In a small sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Remove the oil from the heat and pour it directly over the scallion and cilantro to "cook" them. Drizzle the soy mixture over the fish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut a large rectangle of foil, big enough to make a large envelope. Place the pak choi on the foil, followed by the fish, then the ginger and garlic. Pour over the soy sauce and rice wine, then season.
• Fold over foil and seal the 3 edges, then put on a baking sheet. Cook for 20 mins, open the parcel and scatter over the spring onions and coriander. Serve with brown rice and squeezed lime juice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, then fry the onion for 8 mins until translucent. Stir in the ginger and spices, and cook for another minute. Pour in the coconut milk and 100ml water, stir, then simmer for 10 mins.
• Add the cod, frozen peas and sugar snap peas, and simmer for 5 mins until the fish is flaky. Serve with the rice, sliced chilli, a good grinding of black pepper and some lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

Steps:

• Heat the oils in a skillet over med-high heat.
• Add ginger and chillies and cook for 2 mins, until crisp.
• Add soy sauce, wine and sugar to skillet and simmer 1 min, until sauce has thickened slightly.
• Add the fish, cook in the sauce for approx 3 mins each side or until cooked.
• Serve immediately on top of steamed rice with steamed greens.
• Optional: Sometimes I add some garlic too, together with the ginger and chillies.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and cook, stirring, until brown and crisp, about 7 minutes. Add the fish, stir gently until thoroughly mixed with the ginger and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce and salt and stir well. Stir in the onion and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the red pepper and scallions and cook for another 2 minutes, then serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine teriyaki sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil. Set the marinade aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• Place fish in a shallow baking dish. Pour 1/2 of the marinade over the fish. Flip the fish over and pour the remaining marinade on the fish. Coat entire fish with marinade. Refrigerate the fish for 1 1/2 hours, turning the fish over often.
• Grill the fish over medium-high heat for 4 minutes. Flip the fish over and grill it another 4 minutes. Fish should flake easily with a fork when done. Serve hot!
