VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER



Veracruz-Style Red Snapper image

I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon caper juice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
⅓ cup pitted, sliced green olives (such as Castelvetrano)
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 (7 ounce) red snapper fillets, cut in half
salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
2 limes, juiced

SAUTEED RED SNAPPER



Sauteed Red Snapper image

The mild, slightly sweet flavor and flaky texture of red snapper takes well to light seasoning and a quick saute. You can also make this dish with black sea bass. The skin of both fish is edible and crisps nicely in a skillet.

Red Snapper With Sweet and Hot Pepper Sauce image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large sweet red peppers, cored, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno or other hot green chili, seeded and minced
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
6 red snapper fillets, each about 6 ounces, skin on
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Sprigs of fresh coriander

Steps:

  • Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the red peppers, green chili and onion and saute over low heat until soft, but not brown. Stir in the garlic, cook a few seconds longer, then add the water. Allow to simmer about 20 minutes, until the peppers are very tender.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a grill or broiler and oil the rack. Mix the lime juice with two tablespoons of the olive oil and brush over the fish. Allow to marinate until ready to cook the fish.
  • When the peppers are tender, puree the contents of the saucepan in a food processor or blender. Season with the paprika and to taste with salt and pepper. Stir the last tablespoon of the olive oil. Return to saucepan and simmer, then cover to keep warm.
  • To grill the fish, place the fish on the grill skin side up. Cook about six minutes, until the fish is lightly seared. Using a large spatula, turn the fish, cook very briefly on the other side, then transfer to warm plates. To broil the fish, broil it skin side down until the fish is cooked through and lightly seared, six to eight minutes. Do not turn it. Transfer the fish to a warm plate.
  • To serve, spoon some of the pepper sauce over and around the fish and garnish with coriander.
