POTATO CRUSTED SNAPPER IN BEURRE BLANC SAUCE
Steps:
- Using a Chinese or a regular mandoline, finely julienne the potatoes, and immediately put them into cold water and rinse thoroughly. Repeat 2 or 3 more times, or until water is clear. (The purpose of this is to rinse all the starches and sugars so potatoes do not burn when cooking). Drain water from potatoes and towel dry thoroughly. In a mixing bowl, add potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup of the warm clarified butter, or enough to coat.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season snapper well with salt and pepper. Take julienned potaotes and put a thin layer on the top side of the fish only. In a large saute pan heat about 1/4-inch of clarified butter over medium-high heat. Carefully lay fillets in pan, potato side down, and pan-fry until potatoes are golden brown. Turn fish over and finish cooking in pan in the oven. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 dinner plates. Top with Beurre Blanc Sauce and garnish with lemon herbs.
- Heat cream in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup. Reserve. In a large skillet, reduce wine, peppercorns, lemon juice, and shallots over high heat until almost dry (only a little liquid remains). Add reduced cream, whipping constantly. Remove from heat, and slowly whip in butter until thickened and smooth. Serve over snapper.
RED SNAPPER WITH SHERRY BEURRE BLANC
Steps:
- In a small saucepan cook the Sherry, the shallot, the white wine, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste over moderately high heat until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, adding each new piece before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce should not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of thin hollandaise.)
- On a foil-covered broiler pan broil the fillets under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they just flake, divide them between 2 plates, and spoon the sauce over them.

Steps:
- Puree basil leaves and heavy cream in a blender and reserve. In a medium saucepan, bring wine, vinegar, lemon juice and minced onion to a simmer, uncovered. When liquid has been reduced down to 1/4 its original volume (about 5-10 minutes), turn off heat and whisk in the cream/basil mixture, being sure to spoon in all basil shreds.
- Add butter to mixture one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously, until all is used. Return pot to low heat for a few seconds, if necessary, so last butter pats melt. Strain sauce, and add salt to taste. Set aside.
- Prepare a grill. Grill fish 8 minutes per side, until skin is crispy. Lift meat from bones and place on plates. Drizzle with beurre blanc and serve.
