Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 25m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 red snapper fillets
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups white wine
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves

Steps:

  • Season the snapper with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper and place in a steamer. Pour the wine in a large pot and boil. Lower heat, place the steamer in the pot and cover tightly. Steam for 5 minutes. Place the clams around the snapper. Cover and steam until the clams open, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the steamer from the pot and keep the snapper and clams warm. Simmer the wine until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside. Place the butter in the pot and turn the heat to low. Add the shallots and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Add the reduced wine and the cream and simmer slowly for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and remove from heat. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Place each snapper fillet on a plate and surround with clams. Spoon some sauce over and around the snapper. Scatter the basil. Serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the pictures. It was still edible, but it wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped.

I would have liked the fish and clams to be cooked a bit more. They were a bit too undercooked for my taste.

I would give this dish a 4 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make and the flavors were good, but it was a bit too rich for my taste. I would have preferred a lighter sauce.

I had a great experience cooking this dish. It was easy to follow the recipe and the ingredients were easy to find. The only thing I would change is that I would add more garlic. I love garlic!

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The tomato cream sauce was very heavy and the fish and clams got lost in the sauce. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce, like a white wine sauce.
