Pan-Seared Red Snapper with Citrus-Herb Relish image

To temper the fish before cooking it simply means allowing it to come to room temperature. If the fish goes into the pan cold, it will steam, rather than sear.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange, peeled and segmented into supremes
1 pink grapefruit, peeled and segmented into supremes
1 celery stalk, peeled and thinly sliced on the bias
1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely sliced, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons chives, chopped
Coarse salt and ground white pepper
2 teaspoons safflower or canola oil
2 red snapper fillets, skin-on, about 1 1/2 pounds

Steps:

  • Remove the fish 15 minutes before cooking to "temper." Thoroughly pat dry each fillet on both sides with paper towel. Score the skin lightly with a sharp knife, carefully. Do not pierce the flesh.
  • Cut the orange and grapefruit sections into thirds. Place in a bowl with the celery and toss with the mint and herbs.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over very high heat. Just before searing, season the flesh side of the fish with salt and pepper. Drizzle in the oil and add the fillets, flesh side down to the pan. Sear for 2 minutes. Season the skin with salt and pepper and flip. Cook another 2 minutes. Both sides should be golden brown and slightly crispy. Serve each fillet with a couple tablespoons of citrus relish on top. Garnish with fresh mint.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my snapper turned out mushy and bland. I think I might have used the wrong type of fish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the snapper came out dry and overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The pan-seared red snapper was delicious, but the citrus-herb relish was a bit too tangy for my taste.

This pan-seared red snapper with citrus-herb relish was an absolute delight! The fish was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and flaky, tender flesh. The relish added a bright, herbaceous flavor that perfectly complemented the fish.
