Broiled Fish With Green Tea Salt Recipes

BROILED FISH

Steps:

• Place fish on a broiler rack that has been coated with cooking spray. Drizzle 3 tablespoons butter over fillets; dust with flour and sprinkle with paprika. , Broil 5-6 in. from the heat for 5 minutes or until fish just begins to brown. Combine lemon juice, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and remaining butter; pour over fish. Broil 5 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

SALT AND HERB ROASTED WHOLE FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine the lemon zest and juice, the picked thyme, bay leaves and garlic and pulse until it becomes a coarse paste. Add the egg whites and puree until very frothy and foamy.
• In a large bowl combine the herb-egg white mixture with the salt and mix until it becomes a moist paste.
• Place half of the lemon slices and whole thyme in the cavity of each of the fish. On a baking sheet, place a little less than half of the salt mixture in two rows. Lay the fish on top of each row. Pack the remaining salt mixture around the fish to completely encase them, pressing the mixture firmly on the fish to create a crust.
• Roast the fish for 25 minutes. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Crack open the salt crust and brush the excess salt from the fish. Remove the top fillet, pull the spine out and remove the bottom fillet. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

CLASSIC SALT-GRILLED FISH

Steps:

• To clean the sardines, have at hand a large bowl of cold salted water. Rinse the whole fish under cold running water. Scale the fish. Cut open the belly, and remove the gills and intestine without damaging them. Rinse the inside of the belly thoroughly but gently. Don't use a toothbrush, because sardines are very tender. Rinse the fish again in the salted water. Drain the fish, and wipe it dry with paper towels. For a more attractive presentation of cooked whole fish, you can remove the gills and intestine together without cutting the belly. To do this, insert a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks through the mouth of the fish and deep into the belly. Rotate the chopsticks several times, and then gently pull them out, with the intestine and gills sandwiched between them. If you won't be cooking the fish for several hours, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate it.
• If you are using swordfish steaks, rinse them in cold salted water (1½ tablespoons fine salt per quart of water) very briefly. Once fish is filleted and cut into pieces, it loses its flavor quickly in water. Drain the steaks, and wipe them dry with paper towels.
• Salt the fish using the proper amount of salt (see note), and let it stand for 20 minutes. During the salting period, fire up a grill or broiler. Heat the grill rack or broiler pan to a very high temperature before placing the fish on it. This will prevent the fish from sticking to the rack or pan.
• Rinse the fish in a bowl of salted cold water (1½ tablespoons fine salt per quart of water). Wipe the fish dry with a paper towel.
• Place the fish on the hot grill rack or broiler pan, about 4 inches from the heat source, with the side that will face the diner toward the heat. Cook the fish over high heat until its surface has attained a nice golden color. Turn over the fish just once. A 1-inch-thick fish takes about 8 to 10 minutes of total cooking time.
• Mix the daikon with the soy sauce. Accompany each serving with a little tinted daikon and two lemon wedges.

BROILED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Sprinkle the fish on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the fillets on a baking dish measuring about 8 1/2 by 13 by 2 inches. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or small skillet.
• Using a pastry brush, coat the fish liberally with butter.
• Sprinkle the fish neatly and evenly all over with bread crumbs. Dribble the remaining butter over all.
• Place baking dish under the broiler so the fish is about seven inches from the source of heat. Broil five minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

GREEN GODDESS SALMON WITH POTATOES AND SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high with the rack about 6 inches from the broiler. On a sheet pan lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper and spread out in an even layer. Broil until crispy and brown and just getting tender, about 10 minutes, turning with a spatula halfway through.
• Meanwhile, rub the remaining 2 tablespoons oil on both sides of the fish and season generously with salt and pepper. Remove the sheet pan from the oven, move the potatoes to the edges and nestle the fish between them, skin-side up. Broil until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes. With a large spatula, flip the fish and continue to broil until the fish flakes easily but the center is still pink and glossy, 3 to 5 minutes. (If the potatoes are done after cooking the fish on the first side, pull them from the oven and transfer to a large serving bowl. If not, leave them until the fish is cooked to your desired doneness.)
• While the fish cooks, combine the parsley, mixed herbs, anchovy, garlic, lemon zest, yogurt and mayonnaise in a blender and purée until thick and uniformly green. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Remove the fish and potatoes from the oven. Scrape the potatoes into a large bowl and toss with the snap peas and cucumbers; squeeze half the lemon over the top, season with salt and pepper and toss again. Cut the remaining lemon half into 4 wedges.
• Transfer the fish and vegetables to a platter and serve the dressing on the side; or divide the fish and vegetables among four plates and dollop with dressing. Sprinkle with dill and serve with lemon wedges.

BLACK COD IN A SALT CRUST WITH GREEN TEA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Remove skin and bones from cod steaks, cut in half and shape each half into a medallion. Place each on a 12-inch square of parchment and sprinkle with sea salt, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon green tea and 1/2 teaspoon dill. Top each with one fourth of the mushroom mixture and drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons sake. Fold up two opposite edges of parchment over the fish and roll to seal. Roll up ends of packet and place each packet on the baking sheet.
• Combine kosher salt, 1/4 cup green-tea leaves and the egg whites and mix with a fork until combined. Pack enough mixture around each packet to completely cover. Bake 17 minutes (if steaks are less than 1 1/2 inches thick, bake 15 minutes).
• Meanwhile, combine yuzu juice, soy and tamari sauces, dashi and oil in a bowl and stir to mix.
• Place each packet on a serving plate, crack open the salt crust and peel back the parchment. Drizzle with yuzu sauce.

BROILED FISH WITH GREEN-TEA SALT

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Arrange fish on a broiling pan, skin side down, and brush lightly with sesame oil. Mix together tea and salt.
• Place pan on broiler rack adjusted so that fish is as close as possible to heating element, as close as 2 inches away. Broil, checking fish once or twice to make sure it is browning but not burning; lower rack if necessary. When fish is browned and a thin-bladed knife penetrates it with little resistance, it is done. Total cooking time in a good broiler will be about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle fish liberally with the tea-salt mixture and serve with lime wedges.
