Fish Nuggets With Roasted Corn And Tomato Salad With Fire Cracker Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to render fat; add onion and cook until just softened, about 5 minutes, then add corn. Continue cooking, stirring or shaking pan occasionally, until corn begins to brown a bit, about 5 more minutes; remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Drain fat if you wish.
• Put lime juice in a large bowl and add bacon-corn mixture; then toss with remaining ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Toast the coriander seeds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, tossing, about 3 minutes. Crush the seeds on a cutting board (the bottom of a measuring cup works well), then pulse with the parsley, cilantro, ginger, vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor to make a coarse mixture. Toss the corn and tomatoes with 2 teaspoons of the herb mixture in a bowl and season with salt. Tear off four large sheets (about 16 inches long) of heavy-duty foil. Place one piece of fish in the center of each. (If the ends of the fillets are thin, tuck them under.) Top with a spoonful of the remaining herb mixture and surround with the corn-tomato relish. Fold up the ends of the foil and seal into packets, leaving room inside for heat circulation. Grill the packets, covered, until the fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully open the packets and slide the fish and vegetables onto plates. Top with more cilantro and serve with lime.

• Pat catfish fillets dry with paper towels, and cut into bite-size pieces. Dredge catfish pieces in flour, and then dip in hushpuppy batter mixture. Drop catfish pieces into hot oil, and fry, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Serve with Spicy Tartar Sauce.
