RED SNAPPER LIVORNESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and saute for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, capers, black olives, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 11x7 inch baking dish, and arrange the snapper fillets in a single layer in the dish. Drizzle lemon juice over the fillets, and then pour the remaining sauce over all.
• Bake for 15 minutes for 1/2 inch thick fillets, or 30 minutes for 1 inch thick fillets. Baste once with the sauce while baking. Snapper is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

RED SNAPPER LIVORNESE

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat and coat with olive oil.
• Score the snapper skins in a 1-inch crosshatch with a sharp knife. Season both sides of snapper with salt and pepper. Cook skin side down 4 or 5 minutes until skin is crisp. Turn fillets and cook on reverse side 3 minutes or until fillets are firm and flesh is opaque. Transfer fillets to a warm, shallow serving dish. Return pan to heat and reduce heat to medium. Add extra-virgin oil and garlic to the pan and saute garlic 2 minutes. Add wine and reduce by half, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, capers and parsley and simmer a minute or 2 more. Pour sauce over fish and serve.

RED SNAPPER LIVORNESE STYLE

Steps:

• Dredge snapper fillets in flour. Tap off excess. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place half the fillets, flesh side down, in skillet, and cook until golden brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Remove fish, and transfer to a large flat dish. Add 3 tablespoons oil, and repeat cooking the remaining snapper. Remove from the skillet; set aside.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet; reduce heat to medium. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and wine; season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly between two large skillets; let simmer over medium-low heat until sauce thickens, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Divide parsley between skillets. Place half the fillets, skin-side down, in each skillet, and simmer until the fish is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.
