Steamed Fish With Sour Cream Sauce Recipes

SALMON WITH HERB & GARLIC CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Season: Pat salmon dry, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Pan-sear: Heat oil in a large non stick skillet over medium high heat. Add salmon, presentation side down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown.
• Flip: Turn salmon and cook the other side for another 2 minutes, until the internal temperature registers 49°C / 120°F (for medium-rare, recommended) or until cooked to your taste (Note 5).
• Butter baste: When it's almost cooked, add the butter. Melt, then spoon over the salmon a few times.
• Rest: Remove salmon onto plate, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Sauté garlic: Add garlic and stir for 20 seconds or until light golden.
• Reduce wine: Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the wine-y smell is gone.
• Thicken cream & stock: Add cream and chicken stock, then simmer on medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
• Add parmesan & herbs: Stir through parmesan (this will thicken sauce more), then the herbs. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
• Serve: Serve salmon with Creamy Sauce, ensuring there's something on the plate to soak up all that amazing sauce! Mashed Potato rates highly. See above video for list of suggestions (including side salads).

CANTONESE STEAMED FISH

Steps:

• Cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths, and cut the pieces in half lengthwise. Julienne them thinly. Thinly slice about 15g of ginger, and julienne them. Give the cilantro a rough chop. Set the aromatics aside.
• Combine the light soy sauce, salt, sugar and hot water in a small bowl and mix until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Set aside.
• Prepare your steaming set-up, and fill with 1-2 inches of water. Bring to a boil.
• Rinse your fish fillet, and carefully lay it on an oblong heat-proof plate that will fit into your wok or steaming setup. Carefully place it in the steamer, and adjust the heat to medium. The water should be at a slow boil that generates a good amount of steam, but not so high that the water evaporates too quickly.
• Cover and steam for 7-10 minutes depending upon the size and thickness of your fish fillet. If you have extremely small, thin fillets (half an inch), cook for 4-5 minutes. Check for doneness using a butter knife. If it falls easily through the thickest part of the fillet to the bottom of the plate, the fish is done.
• Turn off the heat, and carefully drain any liquid on the plate. Spread about ⅓ of the scallions, ginger, and cilantro on the steamed fish (alternatively, you can wait to do this AFTER adding the sauce).
• To make the sauce, heat a wok or small saucepan to medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the remaining ⅔ of the ginger, and fry for 1 minute. Add the white parts of the scallions and cook for 30 seconds.Then add rest of the scallions and cilantro. The mixture should be sizzling.
• Add the soy sauce mixture. Bring the mixture to a bubble, and cook until the scallions and cilantro are just wilted, about 30 seconds.
• Pour this mixture over the fish. If you prefer to add the raw aromatics after adding the sauce, you can do so now, and heat an additional 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to pour over the raw aromatics. Serve immediately!

STEAMED FISH WITH SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle fish with salt. Heavily butter a skillet that is presentable at the table. Place the fillets in it side-by-side.
• Sprinkle with the flour and parsley. Spoon the sour cream in a thin layer over the fish. Pour in the chicken broth.
• Cook, uncovered over low heat, without turning, until the fish is flaky. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the fish.
• Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until barely browned. Serve from the skillet.

EASY SOUR CREAM AND ONION FISH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl, stir together 1½ cups sour cream and 2 tablespoons onion powder. Zest 1 lemon into the bowl. Snip ¾ of 1 small bunch of chives into the bowl with scissors (hold on to the rest). Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together ½ cup panko breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat dry four 6 oz. fish fillets (cod, salmon, halibut, trout) that are max 1½ inches thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, and cover the flesh with a thin layer of the sour cream mixture (reserve the rest). Press the panko mixture on top, then bake until the fish flakes easily and the panko is browned, 10 to 12 minutes per inch of thickness. (If your fish is cooked through before the panko's browned, broil for a minute or two.)
• Meanwhile, squeeze the juice from half the lemon (about 1½ tablespoons) into the remaining sour cream mixture. Slice 1 big head crisp lettuce (romaine, iceberg).
• Divide the lettuce between plates and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and the juice from the remaining lemon. Add the fish to the plates, then snip the remaining chives over. Eat with the sour cream and onion dip.

• Stir together sour cream, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Spread mixture evenly over filets.
• Sprinkle with bread crumbs, and drizzle with butter.
• Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes with fork.
