Skate Wings With Cabbage And Spring Onions Recipes

Cover the skillet again and let it sit off the heat until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• At the same time, place the cabbage in a steamer and steam until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• To prepare the sauce, bring the reserved one cup of cooking liquid to a boil over high heat and reduce by more minute. Swirl in the butter and keep the sauce warm over very low heat.

• Yuzu Vinaigrette: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
• Steaming Liquid: Place all of the ingredients in a large saucepan (large enough to keep the dashi kombu flat.) Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and set aside for 30 minutes. Remove the kombu and reserve both the liquid and the kombu.
• Put the steaming liquid in the bottom of your steamer and bring to a boil. Cut the kombu in half. Place 1 sheet of the kombu on the perforated pan of your steamer. Arrange the skate wingson the kombu. Cover with the other piece of the kombu. Set the perforated pan over the boiling liquid, and cover with a lid. Steam for 4 or 5 minutes over high heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the cabbage. Heat the oil in a sautepan, add the cabbage, and stir-fry until the edges of the cabbage just start to brown. Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 10 seconds. Remove from the heat and lightly season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the cabbage among 4 large, hot serving bowls. Place a skate wing on each cabbage mound. Spoon the Ponzu over the skate. Toss the garnish greens together and then mound them on top of the skate. Sprinkle with the Yuzu vinaigrette and sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Season the skate with salt and pepper. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the skate in the flour, coating completely.

• Add the shallots and capers. Season with pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and wine. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter, a cube at a time. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon of parsley.
• Add the fish back into the sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• In another saute pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, spoon the vegetables in the center of each plate. Place the skate on top of the vegetables and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with remaining parsley.
