Broiled Fish Cakes With Ginger And Cilantro Recipes

Steps:

• Boil the potato in salted water until tender but not mushy (or bake the potato until tender but not overly soft).
• Place the fish in a skillet which can be covered and cover the fish with salted water.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, turn off the heat, cover the fish and let it poach in the water for ten minutes.
• Transfer the fish via slotted spoon to a bowl.
• Peel the cooked potato and add it to the fish and mash the two together.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Add the seasonings and salt and pepper to taste to the fish/potato mixture and work the mixture with your hands until well blended.
• Shape into 8 equal burger-shaped patties.
• Brush the patties on both sides with the oil and place on a non-stick or foil covererd cookie sheet.
• Broil about 4" from heat source until nicely browned on top--about 3 minutes; then turn and brown the other side.
• Serve hot garnished with lime wedges and additional cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the limes cut-side down and cook until deeply charred, 5 to 8 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, soy sauce and fish sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
• Add the frying oil to a cast-iron skillet large enough so the oil comes no more than halfway up the skillet sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeno and 2-inch piece ginger to the oil.
• Place the fish on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. Make slashes crosswise on a diagonal along the body of the fish every 2 inches on both sides, cutting all the way down to the bone. Season the fish generously inside and out with salt. Mix together the rice flour, coriander, lime zest and 1 tablespoon salt in a shallow bowl. Dredge the fish in the seasoned rice flour.
• When the oil is 350 degrees F, grip a fish firmly by the tail and carefully lower head-first into the skillet, making sure to lay it down away from you. Repeat with the other fish. Fry until the flesh on the bottom side is cooked through and the skin is deeply browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. While the fish are frying, baste the inside of the heads with hot oil periodically.
• Use tongs and a fish spatula to carefully turn both fish over. Fry until the flesh on the second side is cooked through and the skin is deeply browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and season both sides with more salt.
• To serve: Place both fish on a platter. Spoon the ginger vinaigrette over the top and around the fish. Garnish with cilantro and scallions and place the grilled limes around the edges.

Steps:

• With poultry shears or a sharp knife cut off necks, feet, and first 2 wing joints of each quail and discard. Cut out and discard backbones and halve each quail lengthwise through breast. Arrange quail halves in one layer in a shallow flameproof baking pan.
• Chop cilantro and in a small bowl stir together with gingerroot, soy sauce, cumin, ground coriander, and oil. Spoon marinade over quail, turning to coat and rubbing marinade into both sides. Marinate quail, covered and chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 12.
• Preheat broiler.
• Season quail lightly on both sides with pepper and salt and arrange, skin sides up, in pan with marinade. Broil quail 3 to 4 inches from heat 5 to 7 minutes. Turn quail over and baste with pan juices. Broil quail 2 to 3 minutes more, or until cooked to barely pink for medium.
• Transfer quail to a platter and pour off fat from pan. On stovetop deglaze pan with water over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Spoon pan juices over quail.

Steps:

• Set oven to broil. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with half of the butter. Place on rack in broiler pan.
• Broil with top of fish steak about 4 inches from heat 5 minutes. Brush with butter. Carefully turn fish. (If fish sticks to the rack, loosen gently with a turner or fork.) Brush other side with butter.
• Broil 4 to 6 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.

Steps:

• Boil potato in salted water to cover until it is tender but not mushy, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place fish in a skillet that can later be covered. Add water to cover, salt the water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, turn off heat, and set a timer for 10 minutes. After that time, use a slotted spoon to remove fish to a bowl.
• When potato is done, peel it and mash it with the fish. Add seasonings, along with some salt and pepper, and work the mixture with your hands until it is well blended. Shape into 8 equal burger-shaped patties.
• Preheat broiler, and set rack about 4 inches from heat source. Brush patties on both sides with oil, then place on a non-stick baking sheet. Broil carefully, until nicely browned on top, then turn and brown on the other side. Sprinkle with more cilantro, and serve hot, with lime wedges.
