This is one of my favorites from Mark Bittman’s seafood bible, Fish. This recipe is best with the arugula, I think, but I always throw in just a tad of garlic regardless of what I stuff the steaks with. Definitely do this on a grill.
Don’t make the same mistake I made when I first attempted this recipe. Served with rice, a 1.25lb tuna steak will easily fill 2 adults, or maybe 3-5 waifs.
This is a tasty and seemingly healthy dish which actually contains a great deal of butter. Mmmmm, butter. It relies for its taste on a specific brand of hot sauce, which can be found in larger gourmet grocery stores. Even though it is easy to make, it’s nice enough to serve to guests - my kind of dish! Enjoy….
I suppose you could think of this recipe as fish granola. I just think of it as delicious.
This recipe, also from Mark Bittman’s Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking, is easy to prepare (despite its intimidating name) and quite tasty, especially if you use both arugula and garlic for the stuffing. A few tips from someone who’s made this numerous times: the type of tuna steak this recipe calls for will probably require you to ask your fishmonger to cut the steaks from a large slab of fish. Call ahead and ask them to cut you the steaks you need or to leave some of the big slab until you get there. Also, keep in mind that 1.5 lbs of fish is a lot of fish. One of these should easily serve 2 people, 3 if you have enough sides. You can make smaller steaks, but they’re harder to stuff. Be liberal with the stuffing, or it won’t register on your tastebuds against the very flavorful tuna. Lastly, a grill is really the way to go with this recipe.
This isn’t the lightest preparation for salmon, but it’s one of the tastiest. In my opinion, it works best if the salmon fillets are fresh (of course) and if they’re not incredibly thick. The hardest thing about this recipe is flipping the fillets over without the crust crumbling to bits—use a non-stick pan if you have one.
This recipe comes from my favorite seafood cookbook, Mark Bittman’s Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking. A better reference on seafood you will not find, I promise.
