Caribbean Fish Stew with Salmon and Snapper

If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying seafood dinner, this Caribbean fish stew is the perfect dish. Made with salmon and snapper, it's full of flavor and nutrients. The best part is that it's relatively easy to make, so you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in no time.

Ingredients

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
¾ pound Salmon fillet and ¾ pound red Snapper fillet, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups), 1 red bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves & 1 jalapeño pepper
1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained, ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Garnish: fresh cilantro

Steps

Combine black pepper, red pepper, cumin, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle salmon and snapper on both sides with spice mixture. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add fish, and cook 2 minutes or until browned.

Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 4 ingredients; sauté 6 minutes or until vegetables soften. Add coconut milk, tomatoes, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer. Add fish; cover and simmer 3 minutes or until fish is cooked. Gently stir in cilantro leaves and lime juice. Garnish, if desired. Makes 4 servings. Source: myrecipes.com

Spicy Tuna Ceviche

Combine the tuna with the lime juice mixture just before serving to maintain the bright red color of the fish--a must-do if you like tuna rare. If you want "cooked" tuna, soak it in 1/2 cup lime juice (enough to cover) for 1 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until opaque. (The fish will turn a grayish brown.) Drain, and stir in remaining ingredients.

Ingredients

2 ounces bean threads (cellophane noodles)
⅓ cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon wasabi paste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 finely diced avocado
½ English cucumber, quartered and thinly sliced
1 pound sushi-grade tuna, finely diced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons toasted black sesame seeds

Steps

Soak noodles according to package direc­tions; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain. Cut into 3/4-inch-long pieces using scissors.

Combine lime juice and next 6 ingredients in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Stir in noodles, cilantro, green onion, avocado, and cucumber. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Top noodle mixture with tuna; stir tuna into noodle mixture just before serving. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds. Makes 10 servings. Source: myrecipes.com

How to Thaw Fish Properly

Practicing safe and effective thawing methods will keep your seafood tasty and your guests free from possible illness. Once you've made your selections at your favorite seafood market and your seafood delivery arrives, choose one of the following best practices.

Cold Water Seafood Thawing

  • A helpful hint if you are running short on preparation time: when thawing by a refrigerator, be aware of your fridge temperature. Keep in mind that food takes longer to thaw if your fridge is set at 35 °F than one that may be set at 40 °F, so plan accordingly.
  • Place your seafood in a shallow dish, bowl, or plate to keep any possible leakage from contaminating foods or shelving in your refrigerator.
  • Once your frozen seafood thaws in the fridge, it is safe to store for one to two days. We recommend cooking it within the first twenty-four hours for optimal flavor.
  • Food thawed in the refrigerator can be re-frozen without cooking, although there may be some quality loss.

Cold Water Seafood Thawing

  • This method is handy if your seafood has not thawed entirely or you need a quicker method. While it's faster than the refrigerator, you DO need to attend to your frozen seafood while thawing it with cold water.
  • Ensure your fish or shellfish is in a leak-proof package or zip-lock bag. A leak in the bag may result in bacteria from the environment coming into contact with the seafood. You also run the risk of water absorption affecting the flavor of your seafood. Online seafood markets are diligent about sealing their seafood, but it's wise to double-check all packaging, regardless of where you purchase your fish.
  • Place the bag in a large bowl and submerge it in cold tap water. You'll notice your water temperature rise with your frozen seafood, so change the water approximately every thirty minutes, so it continues to thaw evenly. Depending on the amount of frozen seafood you are thawing, this method may take up to an hour for smaller portions to thaw completely.
  • Three to four pounds of seafood may take up to two to three hours to thaw completely. We suggest setting a timer for your thirty-minute water changes. If, for any reason, you need to re-freeze your seafood after beginning the water thawing process, cook your seafood\first.

Can I Thaw Seafood By Microwave?

Thawing frozen seafood in the microwave is not one of our top recommendations for a few reasons. The thickness of your fish or shellfish is not always even, causing the outer portions to defrost and cook faster than the inner portions. Microwaves can also cause sporadic heating, resulting in hot spots, uneven thawing, and texture changes. If you choose this method, please follow these best practices carefully and keep an eye on your seafood throughout the process:

  • Place your seafood on a plate or bowl and place it on a microwave-safe rack. According to the thickness and size of your fish, defrost at half the recommended time, flip over, and defrost for the remaining time.
  • Cook seafood immediately after thawing to avoid the spread of bacteria.
  • If you thaw by microwave, then decide to pause your meal plans, the fish or shellfish must be cooked before re-freezing.
  •  

Can I Cook Seafood Without Thawing?

While cooking without thawing is a safe enough method, keep a few factors in mind. If your seafood is from your local seafood market, it may cook unevenly if portions of the fish have already begun to thaw. If you order from an online seafood market, your seafood packaging ensures it remains properly frozen until you receive your seafood delivery. Cooking times may take at least fifty percent longer, so be mindful of the extra time you can spend in the kitchen if you plan to start your dish upon the arrival of your seafood delivery.
