Fish With Curried Cucumber Tomato Water And Tomato Herb Salad Recipes

SUMMER FISH SALAD

Steps:

• Select a pan large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Place the lemon, halved and lightly juiced, in the pan along with the onion, bay leaf and some salt and pepper. Cover with water, bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the fish, bring the cooking liquid back to a simmer then reduce heat and cook the fish very gently, so the water barely shivers, until it is just cooked through, five to eight minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Drain the fish and allow it to cool.
• Combine the tomato, peppers, scallions and coriander in a salad bowl. When the fish has cooled remove any skin or bones and dice it coarsely. Mix gently with the vegetables.
• Beat the vinegar and cumin together, then beat in the olive oil. Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper and fold into the salad ingredients. Re-season if necessary, then serve.

TOMATO AND COCONUT FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium heat, once it starts to simmer a bit, add the black mustard seeds.
• Once the mustard seeds begin to crackle, add the curry leaves, ginger, garlic, and serrano chili. Saute for 30 seconds to combine, and then add tomato.
• Gently cook the tomato over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes or until the tomato softens. If the tomato starts to stick to the pan add a few tablespoons of water.
• Stir in the tumeric, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1 minute.
• Add the shrimp or fish and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add coconut milk and return to a boil. Once a boil is reached, reduce heat to a simmer, and allow to simmer until the fish is tender.
• Serve promptly!

FISH WITH CURRIED CUCUMBER TOMATO WATER AND TOMATO HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Purée cucumber, tomato, curry powder, and salt in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Line a fine-mesh sieve with a dampened paper towel and set over a large glass measure, then transfer cucumber mixture to sieve and let drain until liquid measures 2/3 cup, about 20 minutes.
• If liquid measures less than 2/3 cup, gently squeeze paper towel over sieve until liquid totals 2/3 cup. Discard solids and transfer liquid to a 2- to 3-quart saucepan.
• Boil cucumber tomato water until reduced to about 1/3 cup, then remove from heat and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Cut peel, including all white pith, from lemon with a sharp paring knife. Working over a bowl, cut segments free from membranes, letting segments fall into bowl, then chop segments, reserving juice in a cup.
• Gently toss lemon segments and reserved juice with remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in cooled cucumber tomato water.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F.
• Rinse fish and pat dry. Brush fillets all over with oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake fillets in 1 layer in a lightly oiled shallow baking pan until just cooked through, 4 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets.
• Serve tomato herb salad on top of fish.
