RED SNAPPER WITH SPICY SOY GLAZE ON SAUTEED VEGETABLES AND SWEET POTATOES
Steps:
- Separately cut carrots and bell pepper into thin strips and diagonally cut snow peas into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop coriander. Peel sweet potato and, if desired, with a channel knife cut 4 lengthwise grooves (one every quarter turn). Cut potato crosswise into 12 slices (about 1/4 inch thick) and in a steamer set over 1 inch boiling water steam slices, in one layer if possible, covered, until just cooked through and tender but not falling apart, about 8 minutes.
- Remove steamer from heat and season potato with salt and pepper. Keep potato warm in steamer, covered. In a small saucepan heat glaze and keep warm, covered.
- Preheat oven to 275°F.
- In a non-stick skillet heat 1/2 teaspoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté 2 fillets, skin sides down, pressing on fish with a metal spatula to help skin brown evenly, until skin is golden brown, about 1 minute. With spatula turn fillets over and sauté until golden, about 30 seconds more. Transfer fillets, skin sides up, to a non-stick baking pan and sauté remaining 2 fillets in 1/2 teaspoon oil in same manner. Bake fish in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- While fish is baking, in a large non-stick skillet heat 1/2 teaspoon remaining oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté carrots until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil, bell pepper, and snow peas and sauté vegetables, stirring, until just tender, about 30 seconds. Add cabbage and onion and sauté, stirring, until just tender, about 1 minute. Immediately transfer sautéed vegetables to a bowl and toss with coriander, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide potato among 4 plates and top with sautéed vegetables. Put fillets, skin sides up, on vegetables and drizzle with some glaze.
- Garnish plates with lime wedges and serve remaining glaze on the side.
SAUTEED SWEET POTATOES
Found myself at another house making dinner for three children. There were NO vegetables, fresh or otherwise, (they had just moved in) but I found two large sweet potatoes. I was told that they were not liked, but I needed a veggie.....so this came about.... nice and soft inside, crispy outside.

Just plain good! While, I'm sure dried herbs would work, for me, this recipe really needs the fresh ones! I used what I had on hand...you can use any that you like or have available.

Tips:

- Cook the sweet potatoes over medium-high heat. This will help them caramelize and develop a nice flavor.
- Stir the sweet potatoes frequently while they are cooking. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Season the sweet potatoes with salt and pepper, or other spices of your choice, to taste.
- Serve the sautéed sweet potatoes immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
