Best Coriander Crusted Halibut With Rice Noodles And Ginger Broth Recipes

CHICKEN AND RICE NOODLES IN BROTH

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the tablespoon rice vinegar, minced fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and teaspoon sesame oil. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for 30 minutes. During this time soak rice noodles in warm water to cover for 10 minutes; drain and set in colander.
• When you are ready to eat combine broth, garlic clove, remaining tablespoon rice vinegar and sesame oil and bring to a boil. Add soaked rice noodles and cook for 5 minutes. Remove garlic clove. Add the marinated chicken to the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes or until just cooked through. Add the spinach and remove from heat when spinach is wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle out soup.

FRESH FRUIT IN A COOL GINGER BROTH

Steps:

• Since this is an assortment of fruit served in a broth, count on any single piece of fruit yielding 4 portions. Two peaches, for example, would be more than sufficient. Take your time to clean and slice the fruit as neatly as possible. This is a recipe where presentation counts.
• The fruits can be cut ahead of time. Sprinkle with lemon juice and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready.
• To make the broth, combine the pineapple juice, lemon juice, honey, ginger and Grand Mariner in a saucepan. Bring quickly to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 5 minutes before removing from heat. Cool completely.
• When ready to serve, allow 10 to 15 minutes to prepare. Use soup plates with broad, flat bottoms and arrange a mixture of the fruit in a colorful pattern across the bottom of the plate, possibly putting some of the slices in a pinwheel-type arrangements with little mounds of diced fruit or berries in the center. Once you have all the fruit divided among the plates, ladle several tablespoons of the cool broth over the fruit.
• There should be just enough broth in each plate to cover the bottom; it should not be soupy. A possible garnish would be a small scoop of sorbet on each plate and perhaps a sprinkling of grated coconut.

SEARED HALIBUT WITH CORIANDER & CARROTS

Steps:

• Prepare the halibut: Toast the coriander and fennel seeds in a medium frying pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and crush with a mortar and pestle, or transfer to a clean spice grinder. Grind to a fine powder. Add the turmeric and cayenne. Set aside 1/4 teaspoon of the spice blend; reserve the remaining spice blend.
• Lay out your halibut on a baking sheet/tray and season with salt and pepper. Brush or drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and rub the remaining spice mixture over the fish on both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Prepare the carrots: While the fish rests, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, fill another bowl with ice and water to create an ice bath. When the water boils, add the carrots and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer them to the ice bath with a slotted spoon. Pull them out after about 2 minutes and set aside.
• Make the yogurt sauce: Toast the mustard seeds in a pan the same way you did with the coriander and fennel seeds. Crush or grind and stir together with yogurt, olive oil, and grated ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl.
• When the table is set, heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the halibut fillets to the pan and let cook untouched until they begin to release easily from the pan, about 4 minutes. Gently flip and cook the other side until the fish is just cooked through but still slightly translucent in the center. Remove the fish to the platter.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in another large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the carrots and toss to coat. Season with salt. Add the shallot and cook until just beginning to soften but still purple, about 2 minutes. Pull from the heat and transfer the carrots to a plate or platter. Add the 1/4 teaspoon reserved spice blend to the residual oil in the pan. Spoon the flavored oil over the carrots and finish with parsley.
