SAUTEED RED SNAPPER WITH BASIL OIL AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Sauteed Red Snapper with Basil Oil and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 five-ounce pieces of red snapper fillet, skin on, but with all pin bones removed
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, finely-minced
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in hot water, drained, and julienne
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
4 teaspoons basil-flavored olive oil

Steps:

  • Season the snapper fillets with salt and pepper. Preheat a saute pan with the olive oil until the oil is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the snapper to the hot pan, flesh side down, and cook over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes. Turn to cook the skin side an additional 3 to 4 minutes. The fillets will curl inwards briefly, but once they have cooked for a minute, they will begin to relax and lay flat again, allowing you to cook the skin side to a crispy texture. Lift out the snapper with a slotted spatula, leaving the juices and oil in the pan. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and shallots, and saute together for 2 minutes. Add the fresh herbs to the pan. Stir quickly, just to heat the herbs enough to release their aromas. Pour the sun-dried tomato and herb mixture over the snapper. Then drizzle a teaspoon of basil oil over each fillet and around the dish.;

Arrange the fish on the baking sheet, followed by the tomato mixture and then the lemon slices. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each fillet.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the snapper is cooked through. To serve, place a portion of Rice Pilaf on an entree plate.

Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the rice from the oven and let stand, undisturbed, for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add just enough olive oil for flavor and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

MOIST ROASTED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND OREGANO



Moist Roasted Whole Red Snapper with Tomatoes, Basil and Oregano image

Provided by Scott Conant

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 2 1/2- to 3-pound whole (head on) red snapper, scaled and cleaned
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes
10 whole fresh basil leaves, plus 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
5 small sprigs fresh oregano, plus 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lemon, half sliced and half left whole
4 to 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (about 8 ounces), cut in half
6 to 8 fingerling potatoes (about 10 ounces), cut into a 3/4-inch dice and blanched
1 cup homemade or low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Stuff and cook the snapper: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. If the fins are still on the fish, use kitchen scissors to cut them off (they just fall apart when cooked). Sprinkle both the inside and the outside of the fish liberally with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, whole basil leaves, oregano sprigs, garlic and lemon slices.
  • Using a very large (14-inch) saute pan or a small roasting pan (oven safe) heat about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat until smoking. Add the fish and cook until well browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fish over-use a large spatula and grab the tail if it's not too hot-and cook on the other side until well browned, about 2 minutes. Take the fish out of the pan and use wadded paper towels to wipe the pan clean of the oil.
  • Cook the vegetables: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, a pinch of red pepper flakes, the tomatoes, potatoes, chopped oregano and a pinch of salt and cook until the tomatoes begin to lose some of their liquid, about 3 minutes. Return the fish to the pan, laying it on top of the vegetables and drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil over it. Add the chicken broth to the pan and squeeze the remaining lemon half into the sauce in the pan. Cook on the stove another 3 to 4 minutes, basting the fish with the sauce and moving some of the tomatoes and potatoes in the pan on top of the fish.
  • Finish cooking the fish in the oven safe pan in the oven 18 to 19 minutes. (To check for doneness, push the head down gently in the area between the nose and the top of the head; when the head easily moves away from the back of the neck, it is ready.)
  • To serve: Remove the fish from the oven and carefully transfer it to a sided platter, pouring any liquid in its cavity back into the pan, and keep the fish warm. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat and cook the sauce and vegetables for a minute or two to concentrate the flavors. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, the chopped basil and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Pour the sauce and vegetables over the fish and serve, using a large spoon to remove servings off the fish. (Don't forget to turn it over to eat off the other side!)

  • In large heavy skillet over high heat, heat 1/3 cup canola oil until hot but not smoking. Working in 3 batches, sprinkle fillets with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and place skin-side down in hot pan.

ROASTED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND OREGANO BY SCOTT CONANT RECIPE BY TASTY



Roasted Whole Red Snapper With Tomatoes, Basil, And Oregano by Scott Conant Recipe by Tasty image

One of the reasons why I chose to work with the Alzheimer's Association is because my grandmother had dementia and some of the most meaningful moments I had with her were around the table, sharing a meal. So, I wanted to create a recipe that's fun, easy, full of flavor, and, most importantly, can be enjoyed together with friends and loved ones. Words alone can't convey how magnificent, how beautifully ceremonial a whole fish looks when presented at the table. I'm always excited when I and a few friends settle in to devour one. (And devour we do, you should see how little is left when we're through with it.) Aside from being so good-looking, a whole fish also offers much more flavor because the head and the bones add depth to the accompanying sauce. A completely gratifying dish!

Categories     Dinner

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lb head-on red snapper, scaled and cleaned
2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus additional to taste
1 lemon, half sliced, divided
5 small sprigs fresh oregano, plus ½ tablespoon chopped leaves, divided
10 fresh basil leaves, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves, divided
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ½ cups cherry tomato, halved
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 fingerling potatoes, diced and blanched
1 cup homemade chicken broth, or low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • If the fins are still on the fish, use kitchen scissors to cut them off (they just fall apart when cooked). Season both the inside and outside of the fish liberally with 2 teaspoons of salt. Stuff the cavity with the lemon slices, oregano sprigs, and whole basil leaves.
  • Using a very large 14 inch (35 cm) sauté pan or a small roasting pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the fish and cook until well browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Drizzle with another tablespoon of olive oil and season with remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Using paper towels, wipe the excess oil out of the pan. Drizzle the fish with another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes and cook until the tomatoes begin to release some of their liquid, about 3 minutes. Stir in the potatoes.
  • Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half over the fish and pour in the chicken broth. Carefully flip the fish over and baste with the sauce.
  • Transfer the fish to the oven and cook for 18-19 minutes. To check for doneness, push the head down gently in the area between the nose and the top of the head; when the head easily moves away from the back of the neck, the fish is ready.
  • Carefully transfer the fish to a rimmed serving platter, pouring any liquid from the cavity back into the pan. Cover the fish with foil to keep warm.
  • Return the pan to the stove over medium heat. Cook the sauce and vegetables for 1-2 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, chopped oregano, and chopped basil and season with salt to taste.
  • Pour the sauce and vegetables over the fish and serve, using a large spoon to remove the flesh from the fish. (Don't forget to turn it over to eat off the other side!)
  • Enjoy!

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality fish: Red snapper is a delicate fish, so it's important to use the freshest fish you can find. Look for fish that is bright red in color and has a firm texture.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Red snapper cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a light hand with the oil: Red snapper is a fatty fish, so you don't need to use a lot of oil when you're sautéing it. A tablespoon or two of olive oil is plenty.
  • Season the fish simply: Red snapper has a delicate flavor, so it's best to season it simply with salt, pepper, and maybe a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Red snapper is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will help to preserve its delicate flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Sautéed red snapper is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with basil oil and sundried tomatoes, and it's served over a bed of rice or pasta. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
