Chef John's Nectarine Salsa image

I've always loved the marvelous contrast between a hot, smoky piece of meat, and a cold, fruity salsa; and this version featuring nectarines did not disappoint. In fact, the only thing that pairs better with this fresh fruit salsa is a basket of crispy tortilla chips.

JERK RED SNAPPER



Jerk Red Snapper image

This is a riff on my great-aunt's jerk recipe. You can use it as a marinade if you want to, but I like to just drizzle it over my red snapper. The sauce has this sweet, spicy allspice tingle, and the best part is, if you put it in a nice, airtight container in the fridge, it'll last forever.

Provided by JJ Johnson

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 ounces ginger, about a 4 to 5 inch piece
3/4 cup worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons whole allspice
1/4 cup whole black peppercorns
1/2 cup Palm sugar
1 bunch thyme
1 habanero pepper, stem removed
6 cloves garlic
1 bunch scallions (white and light-green parts only)
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil

Steps:

  • For the jerk sauce: Peel and roughly chop the ginger. Add it to a blender, along with soy sauce, allspice, pepper, palm sugar, thyme, habanero, garlic, scallions, and salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
  • Cook the fish: Heat a dry cast iron skillet over high heat to smoking. Place the fish on a flat surface, skin side up, and score it diagonally to ensure even cooking. Trim the fish by removing the very end of the tail and then cutting along the inseam, separating the belly meat and the center cut. Slice both pieces into 2-ounce portions. Season with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the hot pan, followed by the snapper, skin side down. Lightly press the fish so that it lays flat in the pan. After 2 minutes, turn the fish and cook another 2 minutes. Remove to a platter. Place a spoonful of jerk sauce under each piece, plus more on top, and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh red snapper fillets. If you can't find red snapper, you can substitute another firm, white-fleshed fish, such as grouper, halibut, or tilapia.
  • To make the jerk paste, use a food processor or blender to combine all of the ingredients until smooth. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can finely chop all of the ingredients by hand.
  • When marinating the fish, make sure to coat it evenly with the jerk paste. You can do this by placing the fish in a zip-top bag with the jerk paste and shaking it to coat, or by brushing the fish with the jerk paste.
  • To grill the fish, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the fish for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. You can also bake the fish in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • To make the island salsa, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to taste.
  • Serve the jerk red snapper with the island salsa and your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Kevin Nurse's Jerk Red Snapper and Island Salsa is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The jerk paste gives the fish a spicy and savory flavor, while the island salsa adds a refreshing and tangy touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
