Roast Whole Fish With Cilantro Chili Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Fire Roasted Chipotle Pepper Sauce: Place the peppers, chipotle, vinegar and honey in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified and season with salt and pepper, to taste.;
• Deep Fried Fish: Combine the oils in a deep fryer and heat to 365 degrees F.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish on both sides with the flour. Fry 2 fish at a time until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Black Rice: Place beans in cold water and bring to a simmer. Cook until soft, about 1 hour. Drain the beans, over a bowl. Place the cooking liquid in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft. Add the rice and toss to coat with the oil. Add the hot cooking liquid to the rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the pan and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off heat and let rice sit for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Fluff with a fork. Fold in the beans and cilantro.

Steps:

• Remove salmon from the refrigerator. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
• Bundle the cilantro sprigs by their stems and hold them tightly, then slice the stems crosswise until you get to the leaves. Reserve leaves for garnish. Transfer sliced stems to a small bowl and stir in the maple syrup, mustard and mayonnaise until well mixed.
• Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish, skin-side down if there is skin. Slather the maple sauce all over the top.
• Bake until a paring knife slides into the center with only a little resistance, 15 to 20 minutes. When you remove the knife and touch the blade to your upper lip, it should feel very warm but not hot. The salmon will continue to heat through out of the oven while in the baking dish. Top with the reserved cilantro leaves, and squeeze lemon wedges all over just before serving.

Steps:

• Cut the stem end off of the chile peppers, and remove the seeds using a thin knife, otherwise leaving the peppers whole. Place the peppers into a skillet, and toast over medium-high heat, turning frequently, until the skins of the peppers have blackened and loosened, about 10 minutes. The peppers are ready when 1/4 of the skin has blackened. Remove the peppers, place into a small bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to cool and steam for about 15 minutes, then remove and discard the skins. Chop the peppers, and set aside.
• Heat the sesame oil in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 2 minutes to soften, then increase heat to medium-high, and stir in the chopped peppers and salt. Cook and stir until the mixture is hot and sizzling, about 1 minute. Pour in the vinegar, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
• Scrape the mixture into a blender, and add the soy sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and green onion. Puree until smooth. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the sauce: In the jar of a blender or in a food processor, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, vinegar, cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, sugar, and salt and puree until smooth. Season the sauce to taste with more lime juice or salt if needed. Serve immediately or place in a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• For the swordfish: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the swordfish dry and season with salt. Add the olive oil to the skillet. When the oil is hot, add the swordfish and cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. To serve, mound the cabbage on serving plates and top with the swordfish. Drizzle with some of the cilantro and green chile sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle fish inside and out with one tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on baking tray, set aside.
• Prepare the chilies. Using rubber gloves to protect your hands from the volatile oils, seed and core the chilies and place them inside up on a broiler tray. Char the skins under the broiler, place the chilies in a paper bag for a couple of minutes and when they have cooled, scrape off the skin. Cut the chilies in slices.
• Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet and cook the onion with the garlic until softened. Add the chilies and cook 5 to 10 minutes, until soft, stirring occasionally.
• Roast the fish for about 20 minutes or until cooked.
• Meanwhile, combine the cilantro (reserving some for garnish) with the onion-chili mixture, the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Correct seasoning and set aside.
• When the fish is cooked, place in a serving dish and spread with the cilantro-chili oil. Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
