Grilled Halibut Fish Sandwiches With Tartar Sauce Recipes

BEER-BATTERED HALIBUT WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: In a bowl, add the parsley, tarragon, shallot, and cornichon. Chop the hard boiled egg by removing the yolk and crumbling it, then dice the white. Add both yolk and whites to the bowl. Add vinegar, salt, mustard, mayonnaise, and a few dashes of hot sauce (or more to taste). Stir to combine and set aside.
• For the beer batter: In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake flour and baking soda with a fork. Slowly pour in the beer, stirring the entire time (it's okay if there are a few lumps). The batter should be thin, falling off the fork easily so it coats the fish, not heavy like pancake batter. Set aside.
• Fry the halibut: Fill a deep heavy-bottomed pan with oil-don't go higher than 2 inches from the rim-and heat to 350 degrees F. Season the halibut with salt on both sides. Test the oil by cooking a few drops of batter; they should float to the surface when the oil's hot enough. Remove these "tester crunchies" with a slotted spoon. One piece at a time, drop the fish into the beer batter, then remove it, letting the excess drip off. Then place it halfway into the oil, letting a crust form for 10 seconds, then releasing it gently into the pan. Repeat with two more pieces (three at a time), so the pan isn't overcrowded and cook each for 3-4 minutes. Remove the fish to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Season with flaky sea salt and serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

GRILLED FISH SANDWICHES WITH CILANTRO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Make the chutney: Combine 1 1/2 cups cilantro, the coconut, serrano, ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Pulse in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water if the chutney is too thick.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 teaspoon curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub all over the halibut fillets. Lightly oil the grill with coconut oil. Grill the halibut until well-marked and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Grill the rolls until charred in spots, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
• Mix the carrots and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 cup cilantro in a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Spread the cilantro chutney on the cut sides of the rolls. (If the chutney is dry, mix in 1 to 2 more teaspoons coconut oil.) Fill the rolls with the carrot mixture and halibut. Serve with sweet potato chips.

• Heat shallot and oil in microwave safe covered dish for 30 seconds or in a small pan on the stovetop over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Allow oil to cool back to room temperature. Hold a spear of asparagus at each end and snap it. The spear breaks where the tender tops meet the tough bottoms. Line the broken spear up with the bundle of cleaned asparagus. Cut the spears using the guideline of the snapped spear. Par boil the asparagus tops in 1 inch simmering water covered for 3 to 5 minutes. Cool under cold running water and drain. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces on an angle and add to a bowl. Combine chopped, cooked asparagus with shredded endive, red bell pepper, cooked pasta, green peas and chopped parsley. The peas will defrost as you toss salad. Pour vinegar into a small bowl and whisk in cooled shallot oil. Pour dressing over salad and toss. Season salad with salt and pepper, to your taste and toss again. Yield: 4 servings Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes, overlapping, including pasta Ease of preparation: easy
