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.

- Heat sesame oil in the pan until steaming.

BAKED SNAPPER WITH CITRUS AND GINGER
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Make three slashes across each side of the fish using a sharp knife. This will keep the fish from curling as it cooks. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Cover each side with fresh ginger, then green onions and tomatoes. Season with sea salt. Slice half of the lime and place the slices on top of the fish. Drizzle with the soy sauce, and squeeze the other half of the lime over the fish. Cut the lemon in half and set in the pan. Cover the whole dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake the fish until the flesh is opaque and can be flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the baked lemon halves over the fish before serving. Serve the fillet on the top side first, then gently lift out the backbone, while helping the flesh off the bones with your knife. It's much easier than trying to turn the fish over.

RED SNAPPER WITH GARLIC-LEMON-DILL BUTTER
Robust ocean fish seeks tangy, buttery garnish for epicurean adventure. This garnish works well on most types of fish, but it was hatched using red snapper because I had a lemon and a single sprig of dill that needed to be used and the red snapper was the best looking fresh fish in the case. I've done Alaskan sockeye salmon the same way to good effect. Pairs well with pasta or rice, shown with my go-to Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce from this site, and fresh vegetables.

SAUTEED RED SNAPPER
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.

Steps:
- Roll the fish lightly in flour mixed with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in skillet; cook fish until brown on both sides (3 minutes per side).
- Remove fish to platter and keep warm.

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor and texture, use fresh red snapper fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color.
- Before cooking, pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispy skin.
- Season the fish generously with salt and pepper. This simple seasoning enhances the natural flavors of the fish.
- Use a large skillet or sauté pan to cook the fish. This allows for even cooking and prevents overcrowding, which can result in steamed fish.
- Heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat before adding the fish. This helps sear the fish and create a crispy outer layer.
- Cook the fish for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking can result in dry and tough fish.
- To make the ginger-lime butter sauce, use fresh ginger and lime juice for the best flavor. The sauce should be slightly tangy, buttery, and aromatic.
- Pour the ginger-lime butter sauce over the cooked fish before serving. This adds a delicious and flavorful touch to the dish.
- Garnish the dish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for an extra pop of color and freshness.
