Well, I've always liked fish-head curry. Can't find the recipe I like online in English, but this (http://kuali.com/recipes/viewrecipe.asp?r=1588) will do. Or you can go for something (http://kuali.com/recipes/viewrecipe.asp?r=1978) from my home state. XD (Though I think adding bitter gourd is a corruption of the original recipe.)
this (http://www.recipezaar.com/87877) is actually pretty similar to a curry i make, only i might add even more basil. XD the curry is of course strong, but salmon is a fish strong enough in flavour and body to stand up fairly well to it. if you can find kaffir lime leaves and/or galangal, you may wish to add a bit of those in as well to boost the curry a bit, though simple style like this is quite quick and tasty. XD
i also like to just throw salmon on the grill by itself, served with some veggies and rice (maybe a nice paella)---no tinkering necessary. <3 salmon. XD
Tuna steak on a bed of gently fried onion and tomatoes, served with rice! This is a very simple recipe that even I can make. :)
Boil rice. Keep it warm.
Chop up onion and tomatoes (you want the firm, beefy tomatoes for this) in generous cubes. Fry the onion until it glistens and goes half transparent (man I wish I knew more English kitchen-lingo!), add the tomatoes. A little salt & pepper is good to add at this stage. Stirfry for two-three minutes, then put aside to keep warm.
Fry the tuna steak as you would beef steak. (You can do all sorts of fun things here; add a touch of sesame oil to the frying oil. Or just use butter. Cover the steak in sesame seeds. Cover it with herbs or ground mixed pepper or marinate it or... You get my drift, ne? ;P)
Marinade 2 tbsp white wine (or water) 2 tbsp brown sugar (or honey, real maple syrup or white granulated sugar) 3 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp lemon juice Finely grated zest of a lemon (optional)
1 lb. salmon filets or steaks
1. Mix ingredients for marinade, pour over salmon, marinate for at least an hour, but no more than overnight. 2. Preheat oven to 400oF. 3. Bake salmon in the marinade for 15-20 minutes. 4. Drizzle with a squeeze of lemon before serving in the sauce. Serve hot with wedges of lemons.
Quick, fast and damn easy. Will only work with fresh ones though. ^^;
You'll need ginger, tomatoes, those dried chinese mushrooms (xiang gu) and some soy sauce. Roughly 2 medium tomatoes and 4 large mushrooms to a medium sea bass. No fixed quantity though, it's all about the size of the fish you've got and personal preferences. Upping the ginger amount never hurt though. Soak mushrooms till expanded and then slice into halves. Slice ginger thinly and cut tomatoes into quarters. Stuff a mixture of three into the cleaned and gutted fish stomach (again, you might want to have more of the ginger here). Make a few shallow cuts on the fish and then layer a mixture of the three on top of the fish. Splash a little soy sauce (it should be at most, a dessert spoon's amount) over the fish and then steam for about 10-15 minutes.
