Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, garlic, shallot, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the bell pepper is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cook until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes; discard the thyme. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree; season with salt and pepper and add up to 1 more teaspoon vinegar, if needed.
- Preheat a grill to high and generously oil the grates. Rub the fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the asparagus with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish skin-side down until the skin is marked and crisp, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and grill until just cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Grill the asparagus, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Spoon the pepper sauce onto plates. Top with the fish and asparagus; sprinkle with the parsley.

Steps:
- Sift together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Dredge the red snapper in the flour.
- Heat a skillet on medium-high for 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and the garlic, and sauté the garlic until golden. Remove the garlic and discard.

Gently lay all 6 cooked pieces of fish back into the pan. Add the juice from the lemon, then the wine, and cook for 30 to 45 seconds with lid on. Turn off the heat, and let sit for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the fish to a warm serving platter, and cover with foil. Add the cold butter a piece at a time to the bottom of the pan. Stir over medium-low heat using a wooden spoon until all the butter has melted. Remove the foil and pour the sauce over the fish. Garnish with chopped parsley and capers.

ASPARAGUS, SQUASH, AND RED PEPPER SAUTé
An appealing vegetable trio is enlivened by a wine-scented sauté.
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Heat the oil and wine in a wide skillet. Add the bell peppers, squash, and asparagus, and sauté over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until all the vegetables are tender-crisp to your liking, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
- Now that the seasons for fresh produce have been stretched by imports, it's not quite as much of a thrill to see the first asparagus of early spring. A pity, since I once considered the arrival of asparagus to the market as much an awaited sign of spring as forsythia and robins. Still, I like to stick with vegetables that are in season by buying locally. Freshly picked, slender asparagus is more agreeable to my eyes and palate than thick, stringy imported winter asparagus.
- Spring asparagus needs to have only about half an inch trimmed off the bottom of the stalks; scraping is unnecessary when the stalks are slender. Asparagus makes a good side dish, simply steamed, with a tiny bit of nonhydrogenated margarine or whipped butter added. Microwave cooking yields good results; place the stalks in a small casserole dish with just enough water to keep them moist. Cover and cook until tender-crisp to your liking. How long this takes depends on the quantity and quality of the asparagus, so test often and serve right away.
- Another great way to prepare slender asparagus is to cut it into 2- to 3-inch lengths and sauté it in olive oil with minced garlic.

VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER
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.

Tips:
- Choose fresh red snapper fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a bright pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy smell.
- Use a large skillet. A large skillet will allow you to cook the red snapper fillets without crowding them. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Sear the red snapper fillets over high heat. This will create a crispy crust on the outside of the fillets and help to keep them moist on the inside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the red snapper fillets for 5-7 minutes per side. The fillets are cooked through when they are opaque in the center.
- Make the white wine sauce while the red snapper fillets are cooking. This will save you time and ensure that the sauce is ready when the fillets are done.
- Serve the red snapper fillets with the white wine sauce, rice, and asparagus. This dish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion.
Conclusion:
Sautéed Red Snapper with White Wine Sauce, Rice, and Asparagus is a flavorful and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The red snapper fillets are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the white wine sauce is rich and flavorful. The rice and asparagus provide a delicious and healthy complement to the red snapper. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
