Red Snapper with Miso Brown Butter image

This snapper is elegant, luscious, yet simple to prepare thanks to the miso butter, which caramelizes into an umami-rich pan sauce. Served with a bright herb salad, it's a dish that's both refreshing and melt-in-your-mouth.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 fillets red snapper, skinless, or any firm white fish; about 4-5 oz. each
kosher salt
4 tablespoons Miso Butter, divided, recipe follows
Flaky sea salt, preferably Maldon brand
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup white miso (also called "shiro miso"), may substitute dark or barley miso
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, room temperature (2 1/2 sticks)
1 cup mixed fresh herb greens, such as Thai basil, mint, chervil, dill, and celery leaves
2 teaspoons ponzu, or more as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat an oven-safe saute pan over medium heat. Season fillets with josher salt on both sides. Turn heat to high and add 3 tablespoons Miso Butter to the preheated pan; when it has melted, place fish on top of the butter, skin-side up, in an even layer. Move the fish around in the butter as it starts to bubble and the miso begins to caramelize, 2 minutes. Place pan in the oven to finish cooking fish, about 2-4 minutes, depending on thickness. Meanwhile, make the Herb Salad. (Note: If using a convection oven, place skillet on the middle rack. If using a conventional oven, place skillet on lower rack.)
  • In a small saucepan over high heat, bring sake and mirin to a boil to burn off the alcohol. Once boiling, add sugar, stir, and continue boiling until the sugar has completely dissolved and the liquid is translucent. Turn off heat and stir in miso.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add butter. Whisk at medium speed until butter is fluffy and pale yellow, 1 minute. Continuing on medium speed, slowly add the miso mixture in a steady stream to combine. Turn off motor, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and continue mixing again, just until incorporated. Pour Miso Butter into a bowl and set aside. Makes about 2 cups. (Store in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.)
  • In a bowl, combine Thai basil, mint, chervil, dill, and celery leaves (or a fresh herb combination of your choosing). Set aside.
  • Remove fish from oven: it's fully cooked when opaque throughout, and should flake when touched. The Miso Butter will be brown and caramelized in the pan. Flip the fish onto a serving plate, skin-side up, and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Pan sauce: To the caramelized butter in the hot pan, add 1 tablespoon of fresh Miso Butter and stir to combine. Spoon pan sauce over the fish. Add ponzu to the Herb Salad, toss, and serve with the fish.

GRILLED SNAPPER WITH ORANGES AND OLIVES



Grilled Snapper with Oranges and Olives image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 navel oranges
1/4 pound unsalted butter
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sliced pitted black Portuguese or Spanish olives
4 6 ounce red snapper fillets, with skin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, leaves chopped coarse

Steps:

  • Squeeze two of the oranges and reserve juice. Take the other two, cut into supremes, and reserve. In a small heavy saucepan, cook the butter over medium heat until it foams, the foam then subsides, and the butter begins to brown and smell toasty. Add the reserved orange juice, the lemon juice, wine, sugar, and half the salt and pepper. Boil the mixture until well reduced, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the orange sections and olives and reserve in a warm place.
  • Heat grill to high. With a very sharp knife, score the skin side of each snapper fillet. The cut should pierce the skin but not the flesh. Brush or rub the fish with the olive oil and season evenly with remaining salt and pepper. Brush the grill well, wipe with an oiled paper towel, and place the fish fillets on the grill skin side down. Grill 34 minutes on the skin side, until skin is crispy and a 1/2-inch margin of opaque flesh has formed all around the edges of the fillet. Flip fish and cook one minute on flesh side. Remove from grill and place on plates, skin side up. Stir parsley into warm sauce and taste for seasoning. Spoon sauce over fish fillets and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the Freshest Fish: Choose red snapper that is firm to the touch, with bright, clear eyes and red gills.
  • Proper Cleaning: Clean the red snapper thoroughly, removing the scales, fins, and innards. Rinse it well under cold water.
  • Score the Fish: Make shallow diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish to help the marinade and glaze penetrate.
  • Marinate the Fish: Allow the red snapper to marinate in a mixture of orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and spices for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the fish.
  • Baste the Fish: Baste the fish with the remaining marinade halfway through the baking time to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Check for Doneness: To check if the red snapper is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily and the flesh is opaque, it is done.
