QUICK FRIED RED SNAPPER IN OLIVE OIL



Quick Fried Red Snapper in Olive Oil image

Used pure Olive Oil for the first time while frying. My family was so impressed with the flaky, yet firm meat of this filet. The children, who usually hate fish night ate the whole thing! :) It seems I hit on something the entire family enjoyed all while cooking in healthy 100% Pure Olive Oil....NOT VIRGIN!....It's quick, it's...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/8 bag(s) house of autry flavored crispy
1 stick real butter
1/4 c lemon juice
1 tsp sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. First I melt the butter. I use enough to coat 4 medium size filets. After it's melted, I add the lemon juice. Spread on a plate and lay the filet down meat first. Spread the remaining on top of filet. Go fix the cold slaw or shrimp while it rests for about fifteen minutes.
  • 2. Drain the lemon butter from filets. Put sea salt on each filet. Pour House of Autry in a bag and drop filets in and shake gently. Don't let it settle too long before you put on stove.
  • 3. Have over medium heat a pan large enough to heat some pure Olive Oil. I don't use Virgin Olive Oil, because you cannot fry a good piece of meat in virgin. If you get virgin olive oil too hot, it loses any of it's benefits and does nothing for the taste either! You are able to fry with 100%pure olive oil and not lose the good, for your body or your taste buds! Put filet in medium hot pan of olive oil meat side down. Cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on that side. Turn gently and cook for another 4 or 5 minutes. To make sure meat is the flakiest it can be and keep it's moisture, turn once more to the meat side down. Then, take from pan and place on paper towel or something else to help it drain excess oil. There won't be much. We cut each filet in half and I fed 4 adults and 2 children and have two half filets left! I complimented the filets with Carolina Shrimp and home made cold slaw. It would go well with just about any side you'd like. I think next time, I'll use it with something adventurous, like GRITS! :)

PESCADO FRITO (FRIED RED SNAPPER)



Pescado Frito (Fried Red Snapper) image

Fishing is an extraordinarily complex issue in Puerto Rico. Much of the seafood eaten doesn't come from the island's own waters, in part because of arcane legislation that controls fishing rights. And yet, whole deep-fried fish is a staple on the island, particularly along the west and southwest coast. There, you'll find red snapper, simply marinated in adobo, fried and served with tostones, avocado salad and white rice. It is, in my opinion, the absolute best way to enjoy a whole fish. The frying turns the head and the tail into a crunchy fish chicharrón, and the skin and flesh cook evenly, keeping the flesh moist and the skin crisp. While bones are often a concern for those uncomfortable eating whole fish, there's a simple solution: Eat it with your hands. Your fingers will do a much better job of finding bones than your fork will, and the experience is more visceral, and delicious.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon store-bought or homemade sazón
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (1 1/2- to 2-pound) red snapper, cleaned, scaled and gilled
1 1/2 quarts vegetable oil
Lime wedges, hot sauce and chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare the adobo: Combine all the adobo ingredients and grind them together in a large pilón or mortar and pestle, or simply mix them together in a small bowl.
  • Prepare the fish: Make three shallow crosswise cuts on both sides of the surface of the fish skin, then place it in a deep container with a lid or a large resealable bag. Pour adobo over, rubbing it into the skin, head and cavity. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge. If marinating longer, let the fish come to room temperature 30 minutes before frying.
  • In a wide, heavy-bottomed pot large enough to submerge your fish, pour in enough oil to reach a depth of at least 2 inches. Heat over high until oil is simmering and reaches 350 degrees on a candy thermometer.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
  • Once the oil comes to temperature, pick the marinated fish up by the tail, shake off excess marinade, and lower it head-first into simmering oil. Use a pair of tongs to gently nudge the fish to prevent it from sticking to the pot. It'll be very active at first, so have a splatter shield handy, if you've got one.
  • Using a heat-safe ladle, baste any unsubmerged fish with hot oil repeatedly, ensuring fish cooks evenly. Fry until it turns golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully and removing immediately if it starts to get dark.
  • Using an extra-long fish spatula, or a set of heatproof tongs and a heatproof spatula, carefully lift the fish out of the oil and transfer it to the lined baking sheet.
  • Let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with lime wedges, hot sauce and cilantro.

  • Properly Clean and Prepare: Clean the snapper thoroughly, removing the scales, gills, and entrails. Rinse it well and pat dry before cooking.
  • Season and Flavor: Enhance the natural taste of the snapper with a simple blend of salt, pepper, and herbs. Use aromatics like lemon, garlic, and thyme to infuse additional flavor.
