Best Maya Citrus Salsa With Red Snapper Recipes

RED SNAPPER WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Toss oranges, lemon, shallot, chile, cilantro, lime zest and juice, oil, honey, and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes, gently stirring occasionally.
• Fill a wok or large pot with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil. Line bottom basket of a 10-inch, 2-tiered round bamboo steamer with parchment paper. (Alternatively, use two pots fitted with steamer inserts.) Season fish using remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer in bottom basket. Cover, and set over boiling water. Steam until fish is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Put spinach into top basket, and set over bottom basket. Steam until spinach is bright green and just wilted, about 2 minutes more.
• Divide spinach among 4 plates. Top each with fish and 1/2 cup salsa. Serve remaining salsa on the side.

MAYAN CITRUS SALSA (XEC) WITH RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cut orange in half horizontally and section it as you would a grapefruit; do this over a bowl to capture all its juice. Remove seeds and combine flesh and juice in bowl. Repeat with grapefruit and lemon. Stir in cilantro, chopped habanero, and salt.
• Put oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. A minute later, add fish, skin-side down; season top with salt. Cook until skin begins to crisp, 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to oven. Cook another 3 or 4 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into thickest part of fish. Serve fish with Mayan citrus salsa (xec), immediately.
