Grilled Fish With Asian Style Marinade Recipes

ASIAN GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl whisk together soy sauce, vegetable, red onion, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, cilantro, salt, fish sauce, sriracha, and black pepper.
• In a small bowl add ¼ cup of the marinade mixture and lime juice, set aside.
• Add flank steak to a baking dish or large resealable plastic bag.
• Pour the marinade over the steak, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Flip steak over, cover, and marinate 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Remove the flank steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture from the surface.
• Preheat grill over high heat.
• The chamber temperature should be between 400 to 450ºF.
• Add a small amount of oil on a folded piece of paper towel, and then carefully grease the cooking grid with the oil.
• Once the grill reaches the recommended temperature, place the steak on the grill and close the lid.
• Cook the steak until charred marks appear, 4 minutes.
• Flip over and cook covered until desired doneness is reached, about 2 to 4 minutes. For medium rare (120 to 125ºF) or 130 to medium 135ºF (50 to 57ºC) internal temperature.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and tent with foil for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Slice the grilled flank steak against the grain.
• Pour reserved marinade over the steak or serve on the side with lime wedges.

INDONESIAN GRILLED SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, ginger root, garlic, and mustard in a bowl. Pour half the sauce in a low flat dish that's just large enough to hold the swordfish in one layer. Place the swordfish on top of the sauce and spread the remaining sauce on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
• Thirty minutes before you're ready to serve, build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• When the coals are medium-hot, brush the cooking grate with oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing some of the ginger to cling to the fish, and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the fish generously on both sides with salt and place it over the coals. Cook for 5 minutes on each side, just until it's no longer pink in the middle. Place on a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot or warm.

ASIAN MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk ingredients together in a small bowl. Place meat, poultry, fish, or vegetables in zipper lock bag or in shallow, nonreactive pan. Pour marinade over contents and seal or cover. Turn zipper lock bag or stir contents of pan occasionally to evenly distribute marinade.
• Prepare 1/2 cup marinade per pound of meat. See description for suggested use of rosemary.

ASIAN-INSPIRED GRILLED GINGER-LIME SWORDFISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place fish in a large glass bowl or shallow baking dish.
• Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl and pour over fish. (Make sure to coat fish evenly on both sides.) Cover dish with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil cooking grate.
• Remove fish from marinade, making sure to reserve marinade.
• Place fish on oiled grill and brush with reserved marinade. Allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turn, and coat other side with marinade. Allow fish to cook for a remaining 5 minutes.
• Once fish is opaque in center, remove from heat and serve.

THAI GRILLED FISH RECIPE (PLA PAO ปลาเผา)

Steps:

• When you buy your whole fish, ask the vendor (or yourself) to do two things: One, try to remove the guts from the gills of the fish, without slicing the fish open on the belly, and two, leave the scales on the fish (if you have the choice).
• Probably the first thing you want to do (if you're using charcoal, which I would recommend), is to get the charcoal going first, so it's ready when the fish is prepared.
• Make sure you rinse your fish with water and then pat them dry with a paper towel.
• Take your lemongrass stalks and beat and bruise them with something hard, like a mortar, or a rolling pin or something like that. This is going to bring out the lovely flavor of the lemongrass. Also prepare a small handful of kaffir lime leaves.
• Fold the lemongrass in half and begin to stuff the fish with a stalk of lemongrass and about 10 kaffir lime leaves. Depending on how big your fish is will determine how many stalks of lemongrass you can fit. I put 2 - 3 lemongrass stalks in each fish in the video. Make sure it's tight, but also make sure not to push so hard that you break the flesh of the fish.
• In a large mixing bowl or pan add ½ kilo bag of salt, sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour, and add about 1 tablespoon of water. Mix it up thoroughly, massaging the mixture with your hand, until it's fully mixed. You want the salt to be a little moist so it sticks to the fish easily.
• Add the fish to the pan and start plastering it with the salt mixture. Pat and rub the fish with the salt, making sure to cover the entire fish, and all over the head and tail. Do the same to both fish.
• For grilling the fish, you want to have a steady, yet quite low heat. Make sure you have a bed of coals, and if they are too hot you can either tone them down with a scoop of ashes, or push the really hot coals to one side of the grill and put the fish on the other side (using a little indirect heat). You can also add more coals as you keep on cooking. You want to slow cook the fish without them burning on the outside. My fish took almost 1 hour to grill. So aim for low heat for slow cooking.
• Once your fish is on the grill, it's time to get started on the seafood sauce (below).
• Try to wait for about 15 minutes before you flip the fish. If you flip it too early, when the salt hasn't dried out completely yet, the fish skin might get stuck onto the griddle. Flip the fish as little as possible.
• Keep roasting until the fish feels firm and the white salted skin has turned crusty and golden. It should take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Take the fish off the grill, and set it on a platter.
• To eat the fish, you can either use a knife or scissors, and from the top of the fish, cut through the skin. The skin should cleanly lift off the fish revealing moist and beautiful meat.
• Thai grille fish (pla pao) is delicious with both sticky rice and white rice, and lots of seafood sauce!
• Peel about 15 cloves of garlic and grab about 20 Thai bird chilies (prik kee noo suan พริกขี้หนูสวน). Normal Thai chilies will work too. Pound ½ teaspoon of salt, the garlic, and chilies using a mortar and pestle. Doesn't need to be super fine, but make sure there are no big chunks.
• In a bowl, add the pounded garlic and chilies, 6 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lime juice, 3 tablespoons of water, 2.5 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix everything together until the sugar is dissolved.
• Taste the seafood sauce. Really, it's up to you how it tastes, but you want it to be slightly salty, sour, and slightly sweet.
• If you need to add a little more of anything, go for it!

JAPANESE-STYLE GRILLED FISH

Steps:

• Method
• 1. To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and then immediately remove from the heat. Cover and let cool to room temperature.
• 2. Arrange the fish fillets in a deep baking dish and pour the marinade over. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, turning the fish occasionally.
• 3. Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Oil the grill grate or a perforated grill rack.
• 4. Remove the fish from the marinade and pat dry. Brush or spray the fillets on both sides with olive oil. Place the fish, flesh side down, on the grill rack and grill for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, turning once halfway through. A fish fillet is done when it begins to flake when tested with a fork in the thickest part. Remove from the grill, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot, garnished with fresh lemon slices.

ASIAN MARINATED SALMON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, Sriracha, ginger, garlic, lime zest and juice, honey, red pepper flakes, and 3 green onions. Cover bottom of glass baking pan with parchment paper and place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin side down. Pour the marinade on top of fillets and lift the salmon slightly to make sure the marinade reaches all sides of the salmon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about 1 hour to marinade. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the plastic wrap from the salmon and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque and flaky. Serve with sesame seeds and green onions to garnish, optional.

ASIAN-STYLE MARINATED SALMON

Steps:

• Marinate Finely chop the scallion, mince the garlic, then put them in a shallow dish.
• Add the grated ginger, soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, oil, lemon juice, and pepper.
• Whisk using a fork to combine the ingredients.
• It is not necessary to add any salt since the soy and Hoisin sauces are already rather salty.
• Put the salmon in the dish and turn it to coat with the marinade.
• Cover and let stand either 30 min at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Bake Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off, then transfer it to a baking sheet, skin side down.
• Bake in the middle of the oven about 20 min.
• Alternatively, the salmon may be cooked on an outdoor grill.
• Check with a fork to see if the fish is cooked through.
• Separate and lift the salmon from the skin with a metal spatula and serve (discard skin).

GRILLED FISH WITH ASIAN-STYLE MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in shallow dish.
• Add fish and marinate 2 to 6 hours in the refrigerator.
• Remove from refrigerator and let sit 20 - 30 minutes while grill preheats.
• Place directly over high heat on oiled rack.
• Tuna only; After 5 minutes, baste with marinade and turn.
• Remove from grill when center-read meat thermometer reads 140°F for tuna or when salmon flakes.

MARINADE DONE RIGHT...ASIAN FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, balsamic vinegar (this is what gives that tangy, savory flavor) honey, teriyaki sauce, ginger, lime, garlic, a few squirts of siracha, vegetable oil and scallions into a bowl and mix to combine all the flavors.
• Then throw all the ingredients in a zip lock bag along with the steak. Shake, shake, shake. Make sure it's all covered.
• Place in the fridge for at least an hour and up to 24 hours.
• If you live in the not so warm parts...like me... you can cheat a bit. Take a large oven proof frying pan and place it into a 500-degree oven for about 10 minutes. Or you can place it in there as the oven preheats.
• Remove your steak out of the bag and place it on a paper towel, dabbing the moisture off of the steak.
• Once the pan is heated, place the steak directly onto the pan. You will see it shrink up immediately from the high heat. Close the oven and allow to cook for 5 minutes then flip it and cook it for 2 minutes.
• For me, this is the ultimate way to sear a steak nicely without clouding my house up with smoke.
• Place the steak on a sheet pan and cover with foil. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice into it on a bias, against the grain, as we previously discussed.
• Sprinkle with scallions and grab some chop sticks! Dinner is served.

GRILLED ASIAN COD

Steps:

• Place cod in a gallon-sized freezer bag. Add orange juice, soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, green onions, ginger paste, and garlic; mix to combine. Squeeze excess air out of the bag and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place cod in a grill basket and cook on the preheated grill until internal temperature of fish reaches 135 degrees F (57 degrees C), 7 to 9 minutes.
