Fish Recipes


Hawaiian Fish w/Banana Salsa
1/2 t sesame oil
1 large, firm banana peeled, halved lengthwise
1/2 C golden raisins, chopped
6 T chopped cilantro
1 T grated lemon peel
1/2 t grated orange peel
1/4 t ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 lbs fillets or steaks of firm white fish (tuna, swordfish, etc.)
1 T olive oil
1 t vegetable oil
  1. Heat sesame oil in a wide nonstick frying pan over high heat. Add banana and cook, turning as needed, until well browned on all sides (about 8 minutes). Remove banana from pan, chop coarsley, and place in a bowl.
  2. Mix in raisins, 2 tbsp of cilantro, lemon peel, orange peel, and red pepper. Set side.
  3. Cut off and discard any skin from fish. Rinse fish, pat dry, and cut into 6 equal portions. Rub fish all over with olive oil, then pat remaining 1/4 cup cilantro over fish.
  4. Place a wide nonstick frying pan over high heat. When pan is hot, add vegetable oil and oiled fish. Cook, turning once or twice (drippings may scorch and smoke), until fish is done to your liking, cut to test. For rare fish (it will still have its raw color in center), allow about 3 minutes. For fish that is evenly cooked throughout (it will be slightly translucent in center), allow 5 to 6 minutes.
  5. With a wide spatula, transfer fish to individual plates, serve with banana salsa.
