Fish In A Hot Saffron And Ginger Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Grate the tomatoes on the large holes of a box grater into a medium bowl; discard the skins. Stir in 1/3 cup cilantro, the vinegar and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Spread the cauliflower florets on one half of a 24-inch-long piece of foil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon garam masala and dot with the butter; season with salt and pepper. Fold the foil over the cauliflower and crimp the edges to seal and form a packet. Season the salmon with salt, pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon garam masala.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the foil packet on one side of the grill until the packet is puffed and the cauliflower is lightly charred and tender, about 6 minutes per side. Grill the salmon on the other side of the grill until opaque but still pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. Grill the naan until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side; cut into wedges.
• Carefully open the foil packet and toss the cauliflower with the remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Top the salmon with the tomato-ginger sauce and serve with the cauliflower and naan.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes in boiling water for about 10 seconds. Drain, and pull away skins; remove cores. Cut tomatoes crosswise and into 1/4-inch cubes.
• Heat olive oil in saucepan, add shallots and garlic. Cook briefly. Do not brown. Add tomatoes, ginger, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes.
• Place tomato mixture in a blender. Add 1 tablespoon butter, and blend quickly to a fine texture. Check seasoning; transfer to small saucepan and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Pour milk into a shallow bowl; put the flour on a dish. Dredge each fillet with flour, patting so flour adheres and shaking to remove excess.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place as many fillets in the pan as will fit in one layer without crowding.
• Brown fillets thoroughly on one side; turn, and brown on other side. Cooking will take about 2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Do not overcook.
• Divide tomato mixture equally among four warm serving plates. Place fillets over tomatoes, and keep warm.
• While the pan is still warm, wipe it out with a paper towel and return it to medium-high heat. Add the remaining butter, and cook until hazelnut brown. Add lemon juice, and pour equally over each serving. Top with basil or parsley.

Steps:

• Have the whole fish (if using) scaled and cleaned but leave the heads on.
• In a frying pan, heat the garlic and the chili in the oil for moments only, until they soften. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, saffron, and ginger, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Put the fish in the pan with the tomato sauce and simmer until done to your liking-about 3-6 minutes for fillets and about 6-10 minutes for whole fish (turning the whole fish over once), until the fish flakes but is still slightly underdone.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coriander, ground ginger, and cayenne and mix with 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of the oil to make a paste.
• Pat the paste on both sides of the salmon fillets and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a 12-inch heavy-based skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat.
• When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the fillets and cook until the bottom is well browned and the bottom half of the fish becomes opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Turn the fish and cook until browned on the second side and just cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer to a warm platter.
• Pour off all but a film of fat from the pan.
• Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
• Add the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt, and sauté until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, toss in the ginger, and pour the tomatoes over the fish.
• Put the pan over high heat.
• Add the wine and boil until reduced by half.
• Add the broth; boil until reduced by half again.
• Off the heat, swirl in the butter.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the sauce over the salmon and tomatoes, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve immediately.
