Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 red snapper fillets (about 2 pounds total), skin removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
8 large shallots (about 10 ounces), sliced into thin rings
2 dried bay leaves
3 peppers, preferably 1 yellow, 1 red, and 1 orange, seeded and cut into thin strips
2/3 cup sherry vinegar
1 cup dry white wine
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns
2 whole cloves
1 head Bibb lettuce
1 head red-leaf lettuce
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh tarragon
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup loosely packed watercress
1 pound young string beans, or haricots verts, stems removed

Steps:

  • Season both sides of fillets with salt and pepper, and cut in half lengthwise. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add half the fish in one uncrowded layer. Cook for 2 1/2 minutes on each side, or until fish is crisp and brown around the edges but not cooked through. Transfer to a plate to cool. Heat another tablespoon oil, and repeat with remaining fillets.
  • Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to the pan, and cook garlic over medium heat until it just begins to color. Add shallots and bay leaves, and cook until shallots are transparent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add peppers, and cook until slightly limp, 5 to 6 minutes more.
  • Add vinegar and wine, and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, and simmer for a minute or two. Add the extra-virgin olive oil, peppercorns, cloves, and salt, and remove from heat.
  • Place one layer of fish in the bottom of a large bowl, and spoon some of the marinade, shallots and peppers over it. Repeat until all are used up. Cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the string beans until bright green, but still crunchy, about 1 minute. Transfer beans to an ice bath to cool. Drain.
  • Arrange greens and herbs on serving plate, and place fish with shallots and peppers on top. Remove cloves. Arrange beans loosely around fish. Drizzle some of the marinade over greens just before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 six-to-eight-ounce red-snapper fillets, skins removed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and cut thinly into 2 1/2-inch-long pieces
2 ribs celery, strings removed, cut thinly on bias
3 small assorted-colored bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 small red onions, peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 small hot chile pepper, sliced in half lengthwise
6 fresh bay leaves
3/4 cup small green olives
2 tablespoons nonpareil capers, drained
Lime slices, for garnish (optional)
Cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut fish fillets in half, and season with salt and pepper. Place the flour on a large plate. Dredge each fillet in the flour.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add half of the fillets; saute until opaque and golden brown on bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over, and cook other sides until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer fish to a deep glass or ceramic dish, in a single layer, and set aside. Wipe out skillet, add 2 more tablespoons oil; cook remaining fillets.
  • Wipe out skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons oil, and place over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, bell peppers, onions, garlic, peppercorns, chile pepper, and bay leaves. Cook 3 minutes, without browning vegetables. Add vinegar, 2 1/2 cups water, olives, and capers. Raise heat to high; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; pour mixture over fish, covering fish completely (if fish is not completely covered, add one part water to one part vinegar until covered). Let stand until cool. Cover; refrigerate at least 24 hours or up to 3 days.
  • When ready to serve, let escabeche stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Divide the fish and vegetables among 12 plates; garnish with lime slices and cilantro, if desired.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 fresh lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed and cut julienne
1 yellow bell pepper, stem and seeds removed and cut julienne
1 green bell pepper, stem and seeds removed and cut julienne
1 medium red onion, diced
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 16 ounce can stewed tomatoes
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
8 scallions, white and tender green parts only, sliced on the diagonal
1 liter canola oil, approximately, as needed to deep fry fish
1 cup flour
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 (6-ounce) fillets red snapper
4 (6-ounce) fillets grouper

Steps:

  • Place lemon in a small bowl and microwave for a few minutes to release the essential oils. The lemon will be hot coming from the microwave, so set aside until it is just cool enough to handle. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium saute pan, and saute the red, yellow and green bell peppers. Add the red onion and the chili flakes and saute until they begin to soften. In a blender, puree stewed tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and hot sauce. Leaving the blender running squeeze the lemon juice from the micro-waved lemon (after removing seeds) through the feed opening. Transfer this mixture to the pan of peppers and onion and cook over medium heat, allowing to reduce by half. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Heat the oil in the deep-fryer to 375 degrees F, or as directed in the manufacturer's instructions for similar foods. Combine flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder and dredge the snapper and grouper fillets in this mixture, shaking off any excess. Deep-fry the fish until golden brown, and remove to paper towels to drain.
  • Arrange the fish along each side of a long platter and spoon the escabeche down the middle. Garnish with scallions.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing and for the grill
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
1/2 cup coconut or rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 bunch scallions
2 red bell peppers, cut into quarters
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 4- to 5-ounce skin-on red snapper fillets
2 cups cooked jasmine rice

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, pineapple juice, fish sauce, brown sugar and ketchup. Bring to a steady simmer and cook until reduced by almost half, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the scallions and bell peppers in a medium bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Grill until well marked and tender, about 2 minutes per side for the scallions and 3 minutes per side for the peppers.
  • Score the skin side of the snapper fillets, making a few small slashes. Pat dry. Brush both sides of the fillets with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the fish skin-side down, covered, until it's cooked around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook through, 3 to 4 more minutes.
  • Cut the scallions into 3-inch pieces and cut the peppers into 1/4-inch strips. Divide the vegetables and fish among plates. Pour some of the sauce on top and serve the rest on the side. Serve with the rice.
