Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Four 4-ounce fish fillets (mild white fish)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 small yellow onions, sliced with the grain
1 bulb fennel, cored and cut into very thin wedges
2 tomatoes, cut into small wedges
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 lemon, juiced
4 small pats butter
Lemon wedges, for squeezing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pat the fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large oven-safe saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the onions and fennel until tender and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and herbes de Provence and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, another 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high and deglaze the pan with the wine, chicken stock and lemon juice and let bubble for 1 minute.
  • Nestle the fish fillets into the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and top each with a pat of butter. Place into the oven and cook until the fish is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Broil just until a bit crusty, about 1 more minute. Squeeze lemon juice on the fish and serve.

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 navel orange
1 large fennel bulb (sometimes called anise), fronds reserved for garnish and stalks discarded
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fennel seed
2 (6-oz) red snapper fillets, with skin
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Garnish: chopped fennel fronds

Steps:

  • Cut peel and white pith from orange with a sharp knife, then cut sections free from membranes. Squeeze 1 to 2 tablespoons juice from membranes before discarding and reserve. Cut sections into 1/4-inch dice and reserve separately.
  • Quarter fennel bulb lengthwise and cut out and discard core. Cut quarters lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté fennel with fennel seed and salt and pepper to taste, stirring, until edges are browned and fennel is wilted, about 10 minutes. Cook fennel over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes more. Stir in reserved orange juice.
  • While fennel cooks, pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 9- to 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just starting to smoke, then sauté fish, skin sides down, until skins are golden, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle fish with lemon juice and serve, skin sides up, on top of fennel and orange dice.

Tips:

  • For the perfect sautéed red snapper: Use fresh, thick fillets of red snapper that are about 1 inch thick. Pat them dry before cooking to ensure a crispy skin. Season the fillets generously with salt and pepper, and cook them in a hot skillet with a little bit of oil. Cook the fillets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
  • For the creamed fennel and onion: Use fresh fennel and yellow onion for the best flavor. Slice the fennel and onion thinly, and cook them in a saucepan with a little bit of butter. Add some white wine and heavy cream, and simmer the mixture until the fennel and onion are soft and the sauce is creamy. Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • For the perfect presentation: Place a sautéed red snapper fillet on a bed of creamed fennel and onion. Garnish the dish with some fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Sautéed red snapper with creamed fennel and onion is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The red snapper is cooked to perfection, and the creamed fennel and onion provides a rich and flavorful sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
