Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Wash the fish thoroughly and dry on paper towels. Score both sides of fish 3 times. Combine the minced garlic and jalapeno and stuff mixture into each of the 6 slits. Rub the fish with salt, pepper and all-purpose seasoning. Let fish marinate for 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.)
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the okra and bell pepper and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Make a slit down the center of the fish's belly. Stuff the belly of the fish with the okra and peppers and the chopped parsley. Place the fish on a rectangular piece of buttered foil. Place the remaining butter on top of the fish and drizzle with with the white wine.
- Seal the fish in the foil, but leave a slight opening to allow the steam to escape. Place the fish on a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and transfer from foil to a serving dish, along with the juices collected in the foil.
YELLOW SNAPPER WITH BLACK THAI STICKY RICE, CORN SAUCE, AND BABY BOK CHOY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Butterfly the yellow snapper, removing the head, spine, scales, and bones, keeping the filleted pieces attached at the tail and the skin on. With a sharp knife, make slits in the skin of the snapper to prevent it from curling during cooking. Coat the skin in the rice flour and season with salt and pepper. Also season the inside with salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the snapper to the hot skillet, bone side down, and sear until golden brown. Place the fish, uncooked side up, on a baking sheet. Bake in oven until just cooked through, about 6 to 9 minutes.
- Ladle the Corn Sauce onto a serving plate. Use a 3-ounce ice cream scoop to put a scoop of the Black Thai Sticky Rice on top of the Sauce. Place the yellow snapper tilted up on the rice, and put the Baby Bok Choy over the snapper.
- Remove the corn kernels from the cob by slicing down the cob. Set the kernels aside. Cut the cob into 4 pieces.
- Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the corn kernels, turmeric, and saffron, and cook until lightly sauteed, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and cob pieces. Adjust heat to medium, and simmer until slightly reduced. With a slotted spoon, remove the pieces of cob. Puree the liquid in a blender, being careful about pureeing hot liquids in a blender (do not fill to capacity, and place a towel over top). Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Gently stir in the truffle oil. Keep warm if possible.
- Rinse the black rice in cold water for 5 minutes, and then drain.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer the mirin and the rice wine vinegar until slightly reduced. Reserve.
- In a small saucepan with a cover that fits tightly, simmer the black rice with 1/2 cup water over medium heat until there are little bubbles and the rice is fully cooked. Spoon the rice out flat on a plate for 2 minutes to release steam. Put the black rice in a small bowl and add the mirin and vinegar mixture. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Gently stir together, cover, keep warm.
- Heat the sesame oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the bok choy and saute for 3 minutes. Add the sake to deglaze the pan. Continue cooking over medium heat until al dente, about 5 more minutes. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
ASIAN-STYLE STEAMED SNAPPER WITH BABY BOK CHOY
Steps:
- In a shallow pot that a bamboo steamer fits over or in a wok, add the water and bring to a boil. You can also use a traditional steamer that has 2 layers. Add the ginger, lime leaves, citrus zest, cilantro, scallions, white wine, jalapeno, and peanut oil. Season well with salt. Bring back to a boil and cook for 10 minutes for the flavors to combine.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place the first layer of the bamboo steamer over the pot. Line the steamer with the cabbage leaves, making sure that the surface is not completely covered so the steam can get through. Lay the fish, skin-side up, on the cabbage leaves. Cover and steam for 1 minute.
- Place the bok choy on the second layer of the bamboo steamer in 1 layer. Uncover the steamer and place the bok choy layer on top of the fish. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and the bok choy is tender, but still has some crispness. Check the fish for doneness by gently inserting a fork into it. If the fork slides easily in, the fish is done. If the fork resists sliding in, it is not quite done. Remove the fish and bok choy and keep warm while you make the sauce.
- Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the peanut oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the ginger, garlic, and jalapeno and saute until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Do not allow the vegetables to brown. Add 4 ounces of the steaming liquid and the soy sauce and boil for 2 minutes. Do not season with salt as the soy sauce is salty. Add the sugar and boil for 1 minute, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Lower the heat and whisk in the butter. Add the scallion whites, stir, and remove from the heat.
- Place some jasmine rice on a platter. Top with the steamed bok choy. Top the bok choy with the snapper, skin-side up. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with the scallion greens and cilantro sprigs.
BABY BOK CHOY WITH OYSTER SAUCE
This is among the easiest, most flavorful preparations of greens imaginable, and it pairs beautifully with almost any vaguely Asian roasted meat or fish. It is also exceptional on its own, with rice. You could swap out the bok choy for broccoli, if that's all you have, or chard, or beet greens.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest red snapper available. Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm, springy body.
- Score the red snapper before cooking. This will help the fish cook evenly and allow the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe is made with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and green onions. You can also add other ingredients, such as lemon juice, orange juice, or white wine.
- Cook the red snapper over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Serve the red snapper with a variety of sides. Some good options include baby bok choy, steamed rice, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
This red snapper with baby bok choy is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the baby bok choy is tender and flavorful. The dish is also very easy to make, so it's perfect for busy families.
