WHITE BUTTER SAUCE: BEURRE BLANC
Provided by Food Network
Yield 1 cup
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- In a 1 1/2 quart saucepan combine vinegar, wine, shallots, salt and white pepper and bring to a simmer.
- Gently simmer liquid until reduced to 1 1/2 tablespoons. Remove from heat and immediately swirl or whisk in 2 pieces of chilled butter. As the butter is incorporated into the liquid add another piece and continue to swirl or whisk. Return pan to low heat and while constantly swirling or whisking add successive pieces of butter. When all of the butter has been added remove from heat. Sauce will be thick and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve immediately. To hold the sauce, set the pan in a larger pan of lukewarm water. If the sauce separates, transfer a spoonful of the sauce to a cold mixing bowl and gradually whisk the rest of the sauce in by the spoonful. The sauce can be reheated by gradually whisking 2 to 3 tablespoons of hot liquid, i.e. water, cream or stock.

Steps:
- Combine the shallots, white wine, and lemon juice in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat and reduce to 2 tablespoons.
- Add the cream to the reduction. Once the liquid bubbles, reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, one cube at a time, whisking first on the heat and then off the heat. Continue whisking butter into the reduction until the mixture is fully emulsified and has reached a rich sauce consistency. Season with salt and white pepper. Store beurre blanc in a thermos until ready to serve.
POTATO CRUSTED RED SNAPPER
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add grated potatoes, boil for 30 seconds, and then drain. Plunge into an ice bath and drain immediately. Spread the potatoes on a plate or baking sheet to dry. Toss with the melted butter, salt, pepper, cheese, and lemon zest. Coat each filet with potato, lightly pressing with fingertips.
- Place the fish on a lightly oiled baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes in the oven until lightly browned and cooked through.
POTATO-HORSERADISH CRUSTED RED SNAPPER WITH ROASTED PEPPER RELISH
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Season each fillet to taste with salt and pepper. Combine the potato and horseradish and spread the mixture over the top of each fillet, pressing it down so it will adhere.
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until almost smoking. Sear each fillet potato-side down until a crust forms, about 3 minutes. Turn the fillets over and finish cooking in the oven until done, about 5 minutes for medium. Place on a large serving platter and top each fillet with some relish. Serve any remaining relish on the side.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the bell peppers, olives, pepper flakes, garlic, thyme, parsley, vinegar, honey, and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. May be refrigerated up to 1 day. Serve at room temperature.
CLASSIC BEURRE BLANC: WHITE BUTTER SAUCE
Steps:
- In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine vinegar, wine, shallots, lemon, and bay leaves to make an infusion. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes until the mixture is reduced to a wet paste, about 2 tablespoons. Add the cream and continue to simmer until reduced again to about 2 tablespoons. Cream is added to make the sauce more stable and less likely to separate.
- Reduce the heat to low and remove the bay leaves. Whisk in the chunks of butter in small batches. The butter should melt without the sauce getting too hot, producing a creamy emulsified sauce. Do not let the sauce go over 130 degrees F, where it will separate. If the sauce starts to break, remove from heat, add 2 ice cubes and whisk until it cools down and comes back together. Season with salt and pepper, fold in the chives, and serve immediately. Keep covered in a warm place for a few hours, if needed.
- Serve with fish or vegetables.

Steps:
- Puree basil leaves and heavy cream in a blender and reserve. In a medium saucepan, bring wine, vinegar, lemon juice and minced onion to a simmer, uncovered.

- Add butter to mixture one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously, until all is used. Return pot to low heat for a few seconds, if necessary, so last butter pats melt. Strain sauce, and add salt to taste. Set aside.
- Prepare a grill. Grill fish 8 minutes per side, until skin is crispy. Lift meat from bones and place on plates. Drizzle with beurre blanc and serve.
CHEF JOHN'S BEURRE BLANC
Although beurre blanc purists would object to the bit of cream in this classic sauce, it does help create a more stable base, enhances the flavor, and makes an even more beautiful color than when made without. Have all the ingredients measured and handy before starting as this sauce comes together rather quickly.

Steps:
- Place wine, lemon juice, cream, shallots, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and let simmer until liquid is reduced by about 75%, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and whisk in about 2 cubes of butter. Keep butter moving until it melts. When melted, add a few more cubes, whisking continuously so butter emulsifies into the wine/lemon juice mixture.
- Continue to add butter, a few cubes at a time until all of it has been incorporated and the sauce has a thick, luxurious texture, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste for seasonings and add a pinch of salt and cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the right fish: Red snapper is a good choice for this recipe, but you can also use other firm-fleshed white fish, such as halibut, cod, or tilapia.
- Get the potatoes nice and crispy: The key to this dish is getting the potatoes nice and crispy. Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet and don't overcrowd the potatoes. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Don't overcook the fish: Red snapper cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. A meat thermometer will help you monitor the temperature of the fish, you want an internal temperature of 145F
- Make the beurre blanc sauce ahead of time: The beurre blanc sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving. This will save you time and effort when you're ready to eat.
Conclusion:
This potato-crusted snapper in beurre blanc sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The crispy potato crust and the rich, creamy beurre blanc sauce complement the delicate flavor of the fish perfectly. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
