Grilled Vegetable And Rice Salad With Fish Sauce Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk shallot, red wine vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, chives, cilantro, and dill together in a large bowl. Slowly stream olive oil into the mixture while whisking vigorously until the oil is incorporated into a smooth and creamy dressing.
• Arrange asparagus, corn, zucchini, yellow squash, green onions, bell pepper, and red onion onto baking sheets. Brush olive oil onto all the vegetables to coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Cook vegetables directly on preheated grill, turning frequently, until slightly charred and just tender, about 5 minutes for green onions, 8 minutes for asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, bell pepper, and red onion, and 10 minutes for corn. Remove vegetables to the baking sheets used for preparation and cool.
• Cut asparagus, green onions, zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper crosswise into 1-inch pieces and put into a large bowl. Quarter red onion slices; add to bowl. Cut corn kernels from cobs; add to bowl. Let vegetables cool to room temperature.
• Drizzle vinaigrette over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat.

Steps:

• For salad:
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Spread out coconut (if using) on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring often, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on pan.
• Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Brush grill grates with oil. Meanwhile, combine okra, corn, zucchini, chiles, eggplant, and salt in a large bowl; drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Grill vegetables (use a grill basket if you have one), turning frequently, until crisp-tender and lightly charred, about 8 minutes. Place chiles in a medium bowl; cover tightly with plastic to let steam for easy peeling. Set chiles aside for dressing.
• Cut corn kernels from cobs; place in a large bowl. Cut zucchini and eggplant into irregular 1" pieces; place in bowl with corn. Trim any tough tops from okra and cut okra in half lengthwise; add to bowl. Set aside.
• For dressing and assembly:
• Peel or scrape off charred skin from chiles and discard. Purée chiles (with seeds) and garlic in a food processor or mash with a mortar and pestle until a coarse paste forms. Add sugar and process or pound until dissolved. Stir in fish sauce and lime juice.
• Drizzle dressing over warm vegetables; add herbs and toasted coconut (if using); toss well.
• Scoop steamed rice onto a platter and top with salad.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Preheat a wood-fired or regular oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat the bottom of a 14-inch cast-iron pan with canola oil and turn on the heat to medium-high. Meanwhile, portion the rice into 4 flattened discs, about 3/4 cup each. Once the oil is heated, add the rice cakes and cook until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes for each side.
• Add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook until slightly softened and brightened in color, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the haricots to an ice water bath until cool to the touch. Slice each haricot into thin rings. Transfer to a bowl and dress with some Fish Sauce Vinaigrette. Fold in the tobiko and set aside.
• Prepare the fish for the grill by rubbing the fillets with olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Rub the grill grates with an oiled towel and lay the fillets down. Cook with the grill open until you have nice grill marks and the fish releases easily from the grill, 5 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip and let cook another 5 minutes. Remove the fish to a sheet tray. Transfer to the oven until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the crispy rice cakes on a platter and top with the grilled halibut fillets. Drizzle the Vinaigrette over the fish and around the platter. Garnish each halibut fillet with a teaspoon of the tobiko and a few sprigs of the wood sorrel and serve.
