• Combine olive oil and butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Stir to blend butter into the oil.
• Brush some of the olive oil and butter mixture over both sides of each red snapper fillet. Sprinkle paprika mixture over both sides of each fillet.
• Heat leftover oil and butter mixture in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry red snapper until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

BRONZED RED SNAPPER WITH LIME CHIPOTLE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• For the crepe batter: Whisk together the egg and cream in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the seasoned flour: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated garlic, white pepper, black pepper and ranch dressing mix in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• For the bronzing flour: Whisk together the blackfish seasoning, sugar and yellow flour in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• For the snapper: Dredge the fish through the crepe batter and then place immediately into the seasoned flour and cover generously on all sides. Set aside or in the fridge while the cream sauce is prepared.
• For the lime chipotle cream sauce: Make a roux: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring with a whisk constantly until the consistency of batter and there are no lumps, about 5 minutes. Let the mixture reach a simmer. Stir occasionally until the roux is brown and smooth, up to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Stir in the chipotles, adobo sauce and lime juice. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the cream, chicken base and hot sauce and simmer until reduced by one-third. Thicken with the roux a little bit at a time, making sure to whisk it in so it doesn't clump, until desired consistency is reached. Finish with salt and pepper.
• To finish the snapper: Heat a saute pan on medium heat. Lightly dust the snapper filet with the bronzing flour. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot pan. Cook the filet until crispy golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per each side. Finish with some lime chipotle cream sauce and the diced green onions. Reserve the remaining lime chipotle sauce for another use.

PAN-SEARED RED SNAPPER WITH LEMON- ZEST BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Grate the zest from 1 of the lemons, carefully avoiding the pith. Set aside.
• Using a paring knife, remove the peel in long strips from the second lemon, scraping off any pith. Cut the peel into a fine julienne. Bring a small saucepan half full of water to a boil and add the strips. Boil 1 minute. Drain and rinse the strips under cold water. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
• In a small heavy saucepan, simmer the lemon juice, orange juice, shallot, peppercorns and grated zest, uncovered, until the mixture is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and return the liquid to the pan and set it over very low heat.
• Whisk chunks of cold butter into the sauce one at a time, whisking continuously. When all the butter has been incorporated, immediately remove the pan from the heat. (The sauce will separate if it becomes too hot.) Transfer the sauce to a small thermos or to a glass cup set inside a bowl of very warm water.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the oil. Add salt and pepper to snapper fillets taste. Place the snapper fillets in the pan and cook, turning once, until they are lightly browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fillets to 4 warm plates. Coat with the sauce, garnish with parsley and lemon-zest strips and serve.
