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.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 red snapper fillets (each 10 to 12 ounces), with skin
Coarse salt, to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Cut each snapper fillet in half crosswise. Season flesh with salt and cayenne pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot (but not smoking). Place snapper fillets, skin sides down, in skillet, pressing on fish with a spatula for 1 minute to prevent curling. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip, and cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more.

SAUTéED RED SNAPPER WITH RHUBARB SAUCE



Sautéed Red Snapper With Rhubarb Sauce image

Here, the moderately rich snapper, lightly crisped, tasting of butter or olive oil works beautifully with the tart-sweet rhubarb sauce. The rhubarb cooks with no added liquid -- it contains plenty, as you'll see -- and needs almost no preparation other than a quick trim and rinse. If the stalks are very large -- more than an inch wide and a foot long -- use a vegetable peeler or a paring knife to remove the strings and cut into 4 or 5 inch pieces. (Never eat the rhubarb leaves; they contain toxic levels of oxalic acid, which gives rhubarb its astringency.)

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound rhubarb, washed and trimmed
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch saffron
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (or a little more oil)
4 6-ounce red snapper fillets
Chopped mint or parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the rhubarb, sugar and saffron in a small saucepan, cover and turn the heat to low. Cook, stirring only occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until the rhubarb becomes saucy. Add salt to taste and a little more sugar if necessary. If the mixture is very soupy, continue to cook a little longer to make it thicker.
  • When you judge the rhubarb to be nearly done, put a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. A minute later, add the oil and butter. When the butter foam subsides, add the fillets, skin side down. Cook for 4 or 5 minutes, or until the fish is nearly done; turn carefully; and lightly brown the flesh side, seasoning it with salt and pepper as it cooks. Transfer the fish to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Serve the fish napped with a bit of the sauce and garnished, if you like, with the herb.

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.

PAN-SEARED RED SNAPPER WITH LEMON- ZEST BUTTER SAUCE



Pan-Seared Red Snapper With Lemon- Zest Butter Sauce image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lemons
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons whole peppercorns
8 tablespoons very cold butter, cut into 16 chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 7-to 8-ounce red snapper fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Grate the zest from 1 of the lemons, carefully avoiding the pith. Set aside.
  • Using a paring knife, remove the peel in long strips from the second lemon, scraping off any pith. Cut the peel into a fine julienne. Bring a small saucepan half full of water to a boil and add the strips. Boil 1 minute. Drain and rinse the strips under cold water. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  • In a small heavy saucepan, simmer the lemon juice, orange juice, shallot, peppercorns and grated zest, uncovered, until the mixture is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and return the liquid to the pan and set it over very low heat.
  • Whisk chunks of cold butter into the sauce one at a time, whisking continuously. When all the butter has been incorporated, immediately remove the pan from the heat. (The sauce will separate if it becomes too hot.) Transfer the sauce to a small thermos or to a glass cup set inside a bowl of very warm water.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the oil. Add salt and pepper to snapper fillets taste. Place the snapper fillets in the pan and cook, turning once, until they are lightly browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fillets to 4 warm plates. Coat with the sauce, garnish with parsley and lemon-zest strips and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the red snapper is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets so they are all the same thickness.
  • Season the red snapper fillets liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to cook the red snapper. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the red snapper fillets over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Cook the rhubarb sauce while the red snapper is cooking. This will allow the flavors of the rhubarb to develop and meld together.
  • Serve the red snapper fillets with the rhubarb sauce immediately. The fish is best when it is hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Sautéed red snapper with rhubarb sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The red snapper is cooked to perfection and the rhubarb sauce is a perfect complement to the fish. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
