~1 lb firm white fish (halibut, bass, snapper)
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/3 tsp ground ginger
1Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp minced shallow
1/2 tsp each salt, pepper
1-2 Tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp sesame oil or olive oil
Combine all ingredients and marinate for at least an hour. I put mine in the fridge for 24 hours and it was wildly delicious. Also, your fish will take on a beautiful yellow color from the turmeric. It is a very visually appealing dish even if the colors didn't translate into the photo I posted.
Sautee your fish over high heat ~3 minutes each side. The heat will sear the outside of the fish and give it a nice crust.
Sautee some red and green onion if you like.
Prepare some vermicelli rice noodles and place your fish on top. Serve with minced dill, chopped peanuts, (I tried but didn't like it as much with some mint and Thai basil) and some crisp lettuce for texture.
Sauce:
juice of 2-3 limes
2Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp chili paste
mix the sauce and you can either use it to dip or pour it over the top of your dish. This was amazing. The turmeric, peanuts, and dill were so complimentary to each other. Add the sweet/salty spice of the sauce and this dish is one I would eat any day of the week.
My freezer is fairly low on seafood now, so I may be cooking with chicken, pork, or beef next. Possibly Cuban cuisine?
I'll try to be better at posting on time, this recipe was one I cooked last week but I've been inundated with start-of-semester madness. Hopefully I can get this under control!
