Best Bronzed Red Snapper With Lime Chipotle Cream Sauce Recipes

BAKED RED SNAPPER WITH SHRIMP AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Melt butter for cream sauce in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until vegetables soften and onion turns translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Whisk flour and Creole seasoning into onion mixture to make a paste. Slowly add half-and-half, whisking constantly. Whisk in sherry, lemon juice, basil, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add mozzarella; stir until melted and combined.
• Lightly season snapper and shrimp on both sides with seafood seasoning. Arrange snapper in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Top with shrimp and mushrooms. Pour cream sauce over top. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 30 minutes.

RED SNAPPER "ART DECO": FLORIDA RED SNAPPER, PURPLE POTATOES, AND PICKLED PINK ONIONS IN A KEY LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow pan, over high heat, combine all the ingredients for the court bouillon and bring to a simmer. Season generously with salt.
• Place 4 of the snapper fillets into the court bouillon, making sure that they are fully submerged. The liquid should remain just below a simmer. Cook the fish for about 8 minutes until cooked through and remove to a plate. Repeat this with the rest of the fillets. Serve with the purple potatoes, pickled pink onions and the key lime sauce.
• Place the potatoes in a medium pot and fill with cold water to cover. Season the water with salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and toss lightly with 2 tablespoons butter.
• Meanwhile, bring another pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
• In a medium saute pan, over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and shallots. Cook the shallots until soft but not brown. Season with pepper.
• Place the tatsoi or other leafy green into the boiling water and cook for about 20 seconds. Drain well. Add the tatsoi to the shallots and butter and toss.
• In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. Add the onions and toss to coat with oil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the orange juice, zest, and red wine vinegar and cook until nearly all the liquid has reduced. Season with salt and white pepper. Set aside until ready to serve.
• In a small saucepan, away from the heat, add rum, limes, shallots, and garlic. Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the rum to flame until it self extinguishes. Add the wine and reduce by half. Add the turmeric, annatto seeds, sriracha and cream and simmer to reduce, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Strain the sauce and keep warm. If the sauce is too thin, it can be thickened with a little cornstarch before straining.

RED SNAPPER FLORIDA STYLE

Steps:

• To make the black bean sauce, cover the beans by at least 2 inches with cold water and let soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Drain the beans, place in a medium saucepan, and add the onion, garlic, chipotles, and cumin. Pour in enough cold water to cover by an inch. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, adding more water if the beans appear dry, until the beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bean mixture to a food processor. Add 1 cup of the cooking liquid, season with salt, and process until almost smooth; the sauce should be a little chunky. If the sauce is too thick, thin with more of the cooking liquid.
• To cook the fish, brush the skin side of the snapper with oil and season all over with salt and pepper. Cover the surface of the fish with plantain slices, overlapping them. Brush the plantains with oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat and carefully place the fish in the pan, plantain side down. Cook until the crust is light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 4 minutes longer.
• Spoon some of the black bean sauce onto 4 plates and drizzle with some of the jalapeño crema. Set the salmon, plantain side up, on top. Spoon some mango-avocado relish next to the fish and garnish with chive oil, if desired.
• Whisk together the lime juice, oil, and honey in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the avocado, mango, red onion, and cilantro and mix gently to combine. The relish can be made 30 minutes in advance and kept at room temperature.
• Combine the crème fraîche and jalapeño in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day before serving.
