GRILLED RED SNAPPER

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (2-pound) red snapper, scaled and gutted
Juice of 2 lemons
12 sprigs oregano, leaves picked and chopped
3/4 cup olive oil
Salt
20 grape leaves
1 cup shellfish stock
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg

Steps:

  • Use a paring knife to cut four slits into both sides of each snapper, cutting through the skin and flesh. Whisk half of the lemon juice in a bowl with the oregano and half of the olive oil. Salt each fish liberally and put in a nonreactive container. Put the fish in a dish and pour the lemon mixture over them. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, turning the fish after 30 minutes to take in the marinade.
  • Lay out five grape leaves on the counter, making sure to overlap them to create a sheet that is as wide as the fish is long, and long enough to wrap around the snapper 1 1/2 times. Wrap one of the fish in the leaves. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and snapper. Brush with the remaining olive oil and set aside.
  • Heat a grill to medium-high. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the stock, garlic, and remaining lemon juice. Bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg. Return the pan to the stovetop over low heat and, stirring constantly, cook until the sauce thickens (make sure it does not get too hot or the eggs will scramble). Set it in a warm spot on the stove.
  • Grill the fish for 4 minutes per side, making sure not to burn the grape leaves.
  • To serve, set one whole wrapped fish on a serving plate and top with the sauce.

MAYA CITRUS SALSA WITH RED SNAPPER



Maya Citrus Salsa With Red Snapper image

Xec (pronounced "shek") is a sweet, sour, juicy citrus salsa from Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, and it makes a brilliant match with almost any kind of fish, cooked almost any kind of way. The combination here - orange, grapefruit, lemon - is not traditional to Mayan cooking, nor is it a mandate. Add lime if you have it, a bitter orange if you can find it. Don't skip the minced habanero, though, which adds a bit of heat and yet more flavor. The fish starts on the stove for a few minutes, and is soon moved to the oven to finish cooking, for a total time of less than 10 minutes.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange
1 small grapefruit
1 large lemon
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 habanero or other chili, seeded and minced, or to taste
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil
4 red snapper fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each, preferably skin on (and scaled)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut orange in half horizontally and section it as you would a grapefruit; do this over a bowl to capture all its juice. Remove seeds and combine flesh and juice in bowl. Repeat with grapefruit and lemon. Stir in cilantro, habanero and salt.
  • Put oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. A minute later, add fish, skin side down; season top with salt. Cook until skin begins to crisp, 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to oven. Cook another 3 or 4 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into thickest part of fish. Serve fish with xec, immediately.

RED SNAPPER WITH CITRUS VINAIGRETTE



Red Snapper with Citrus Vinaigrette image

Categories     Citrus     Fish     Fry     Valentine's Day     Quick & Easy     Salad Dressing     Vinegar     Lemon     Orange     Snapper     Bell Pepper     Butternut Squash     Spring     Passion Fruit     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For citrus vinaigrette
2 tablespoons thawed passion-fruit purée or juice
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar or malt vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons finely diced mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)
1 scallion, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
2 lb calabaza or butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Cayenne to taste
6 (6-oz) red snapper fillets with skin
3/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette:
  • Whisk together passion-fruit purée, citrus juices, and vinegar. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Stir in remaining vinaigrette ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
  • Make squash purée and fry fish:
  • Steam squash in a steamer over boiling water, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Purée with butter in a food processor and add cayenne and salt to taste. Keep warm, covered.
  • Pat fish dry and make 3 diagonal slashes through skin of each fillet. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry 3 fillets, skin sides down, until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn and fry about 1 minute more, or until just cooked through. Transfer to a platter and fry remaining 3 fillets in same manner. Serve fish, skin sides up, on a bed of squash pur)e and drizzle with vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest red snapper possible. Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm, springy flesh.
  • Scale and gut the fish before cooking. This will help to remove any unwanted flavors or odors.
  • Score the skin of the fish before grilling. This will help to prevent the skin from curling up and will allow the marinade to penetrate the fish more easily.
  • Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and moisture.
  • Grill the fish over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Grilled red snapper is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The fish is mild in flavor and pairs well with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, and salad. The citrus salad is a refreshing and light complement to the grilled fish. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in under an hour.
