Steamed Halibut With Ginger Sauce Recipes

STEAMED HALIBUT WITH GINGER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sherry, and sesame oil, and stir well.☞TESTER TIP: Once you begin cooking, this fish comes together very quickly. Have ready your sauce, tongs, and serving plate for the fish before you start cooking.
• Fill the base of a steamer pan or a wok with about 4 inches (10 cm) of water. Place the steamer basket over the water.
• Arrange the fish, skin-side down, on a plate that will fit inside the steamer. (If you have more than 1 piece of fish, leave a little space between them.) Lightly season the fish with the salt and then scatter the ginger over the fish.
• Place the plate in position inside the basket or on the rack, and bring the steaming water to a rolling boil over high heat.
• When the steam is flowing well, adjust the heat to maintain an even flow, and cover the steamer basket with its lid. Cook until the fish is opaque throughout when checked at the thickest part, 6 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn off the heat and leave the fish in the steamer.
• In a small pan or skillet over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil until it is hot but not smoking, about 1 minute.
• Carefully transfer the fish to a platter, leaving any liquid behind. Quickly pour the soy sauce mixture over the ginger-covered fish, and scatter the scallion on top of the ginger. Slowly drizzle the hot oil over the top of the fish. Serve right away.

STEAMED HALIBUT WITH GINGER SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, sugar, garlic and sesame oil in a small bowl, then set them aside while you prepare the fish and vegetables.
• Place the carrots in the top of a steamer over simmering water. Steam the carrots 5 minutes. Push the carrots to one side of the steamer and add the halibut steaks and mushrooms. Place the lemon slices and sprigs of cilantro on top of the fish. Put the cover back on the steamer and steam the fish another 5 to 8 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, check to see if the fish is done: Pierce the center of each steak with a knife or fork and pull it open slightly; the flesh should be opaque and moist. If the fish is done, remove it to a platter, cover and keep warm.
• Add the bok choy to the steamer and cook until it's limp yet tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the steamer. Arrange the fish and vegetables on serving plates and spoon a little of the ginger soy sauce over the top.

STEAMED FISH WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Pat halibut dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of fillet with salt. Scatter the ginger over the top of the fish and place onto a heatproof ceramic dish.
• Place into a bamboo steamer set over several inches of gently boiling water, and cover. Gently steam for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Pour accumulated water out of the dish and sprinkle the fillet with green onion. Drizzle both soy sauces over the surface of the fish.
• Heat peanut and sesame oils in a small skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to smoke. When the oil is hot, carefully pour on top of the halibut fillet. The very hot oil will cause the green onions and water on top of the fish to pop and spatter all over; be careful. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

HALIBUT WITH SWISS CHARD AND GINGER CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Brush fish with oil. Mix ginger, shallots and garlic in heavy small saucepan. Rub 1 teaspoon ginger mixture over each fish fillet. Add clam juice and wine to remaining ginger mixture in saucepan. Boil mixture until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 15 minutes.
• Steam Swiss chard until just tender, about 30 seconds. Transfer chard to strainer and rinse with cold water. Drain.
• Pat chard dry. Place 1 chard leaf on work surface. Place another leaf next to first, overlapping long sides. Place 1 fish fillet crosswise near 1 end of chard, leaving 2-inch border on short sides of fish. Season fish with salt and pepper. Fold 2 long sides of chard over fish, then roll up fish in chard, enclosing completely. Repeat with remaining chard and fish. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover ginger mixture and fish separately and chill.)
• Place steaming rack over boiling water in large Dutch oven. Place fish on rack. Cover; steam until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to plates.
• Meanwhile, add cream to ginger mixture in saucepan. Boil until mixture thickens to sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce around fish.

STEAMED HALIBUT FILLETS WITH SCALLION GINGER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the scallions, ginger, parsley, garlic, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste in a food processor or blender. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped. But the ingredients should retain some texture.
• Add the quartered egg and process briefly until coarsely blended.
• Pour water into the bottom of a steamer. Season the fillets with salt and coarsely ground pepper. Place them on a steamer rack. Lay one lemon slice over each fillet. Cover, bring the water to a boil and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Transfer the fish fillets to a serving plate and place some sauce over them. The dish can be served cold or at room temperature. Serve over a bed of sauteed spinach leaves.
