Grilled Ponzu Jerk Yellow Tail Snapper With Ginger Slaw And Shoestring Potatoes Recipes

YELLOW TAIL SNAPPER BAKED IN A SALT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rinse the fish and pat dry; season it inside and out with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon, shallot, parsley, 2 tablespoons thyme, bay leaves, red pepper flakes, and 1/4-cup olive oil. Place the fish on an oiled baking sheet and stuff the cavity with the lemon mixture.
• In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Fold in the salt to make a paste then fold in the remaining thyme leaves. Smear the salt paste over the entire fish and roast for 35 to 45 minutes. The egg whites will form a hard crust. Gently crack the shell with a spoon and lift off the salt crust. Serve.

BBQ SHRIMP WITH GRILLED VEGETABLE SLAW AND "ROASTED POTATOES"

Steps:

• In a skillet coated with oil, saute the garlic, ginger, chile, fermented beans and onions until brown, about 8 minutes. Add the sambal and tomatoes and stir. Deglaze with vinegar and add the soy. Simmer on very low heat for 15 minutes. Season and check. Using a hand blender and food processor, blend thoroughly and re-check for seasoning. Chill.
• Prepare a medium-hot oiled grill. Season the shrimp and then dip in the BBQ sauce and place on grill. Watch carefully and have a spray bottle of water handy to squelch flare-ups. Rotate and turn the shrimp often and brush with additional BBQ sauce. They will take about 8 minutes.
• For the Grilled Vegetable Slaw: In a large bowl, toss all of the vegetables with the olive oil and season. Place the vegetables on a hot, oiled grill and mark/cook the vegetables all the way through. Slice the vegetables on an angle into 1/4 strips. Toss the vegetables with the juice and season.
• For the Roasted Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss everything together. Wrap in a double thick foil "papillote." Place on the grill, preferably on indirect heat. Cook for 45 minutes. Check for doneness and seasoning.
• Plating: On a large platter, pile the potatoes in the middle and surround with the slaw. Place BBQ on top and serve.

GRILLED PONZU-MARINATED SNAPPER WITH WASABI OIL AND SOY MARINATED GINGER

Steps:

• For the marinade, mix ponzu, ginger, soy and sesame oil. Marinate fish for only 10 minutes. Over-marinating will fully cook the fish.
• On a hot grill, season the fish and mark both sides. The fish will take about 8 minutes to fully cook.
• For the salad, mix the neutral vinaigrette with the gari and toss with pea sprouts. Place a small mound in the middle of the plate and top with grilled snapper. Drizzle plate with soy ginger and wasabi oil.
• Whisk all together.
• Bring vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and scallions to a boil. Add ginger, bring back to a boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
• In a stainless steel bowl, whisk wasabi, mirin, and sugar. Add water until a loose puree is achieved. Whisk in oil.
• For extra spicy, use less oil.

ROB'S POINT LOMA PONZU TUNA

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, sweat garlic and shallots in olive oil until shallots are softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Deglaze pan with orange juice and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Transfer mixture to blender. Add miso, wasabi and mirin. Blend until smooth.
• Season tuna steaks with salt and pepper. Sear tuna on grill, about 1 to 2 minutes per side for rare. Slice tuna and plate immediately on bed of white sticky rice and finely sliced radicchio and romaine. Drizzle with ponzu sauce.
