YELLOW SNAPPER WITH BLACK THAI STICKY RICE, CORN SAUCE, AND BABY BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butterfly the yellow snapper, removing the head, spine, scales, and bones, keeping the filleted pieces attached at the tail and the skin on. With a sharp knife, make slits in the skin of the snapper to prevent it from curling during cooking. Coat the skin in the rice flour and season with salt and pepper. Also season the inside with salt and pepper.
• Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the snapper to the hot skillet, bone side down, and sear until golden brown. Place the fish, uncooked side up, on a baking sheet. Bake in oven until just cooked through, about 6 to 9 minutes.
• Ladle the Corn Sauce onto a serving plate. Use a 3-ounce ice cream scoop to put a scoop of the Black Thai Sticky Rice on top of the Sauce. Place the yellow snapper tilted up on the rice, and put the Baby Bok Choy over the snapper.
• Remove the corn kernels from the cob by slicing down the cob. Set the kernels aside. Cut the cob into 4 pieces.
• Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the corn kernels, turmeric, and saffron, and cook until lightly sauteed, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and cob pieces. Adjust heat to medium, and simmer until slightly reduced. With a slotted spoon, remove the pieces of cob. Puree the liquid in a blender, being careful about pureeing hot liquids in a blender (do not fill to capacity, and place a towel over top). Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Gently stir in the truffle oil. Keep warm if possible.
• Rinse the black rice in cold water for 5 minutes, and then drain.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer the mirin and the rice wine vinegar until slightly reduced. Reserve.
• In a small saucepan with a cover that fits tightly, simmer the black rice with 1/2 cup water over medium heat until there are little bubbles and the rice is fully cooked. Spoon the rice out flat on a plate for 2 minutes to release steam. Put the black rice in a small bowl and add the mirin and vinegar mixture. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Gently stir together, cover, keep warm.
• Heat the sesame oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the bok choy and saute for 3 minutes. Add the sake to deglaze the pan. Continue cooking over medium heat until al dente, about 5 more minutes. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.

OVEN-STEAMED WHOLE SNAPPER WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Rinse snappers and pat dry with paper towels. Cut 3 slashes about 1/2 inch deep on each side of fish and rub gingerroot, garlic, and salt to taste into slashes. Arrange fish in one layer in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish and drizzle on both sides with Sherry and soy sauce. Sprinkle mushrooms, carrots, scallions, and black beans over fish and cover dish tightly with foil.
• Bake fish in middle of oven 40 minutes, or until just cooked through. Gently push black bean mixture off fish. Transfer fish to platter with large metal spatulas and keep warm.
• Transfer black bean mixture and pan juices to a saucepan. In a small bowl stir together water and cornstarch and stir into black bean mixture. Simmer sauce 1 minute, or until thickened slightly, and pour over fish.
• Serve fish with rice.

BLACKENED SNAPPER WITH CREAMY GRITS AND SOUTHERN COMFORT BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

Sprinkle 1 side of each fillet with blackening seasoning. Place in hot skillet, seasoned side down, and then sprinkle other side generously with blackening seasoning. Cook about 2 minutes or until the underside looks charred. Turn and cook about 2 more minutes or until done.
• Spread creamy grits on 4 plates. Squeeze barbecue sauce in diagonal lines over grits. Place fish on top. Garnish with lemon wedges.
• Combine all spices and mix well.
• Bring heavy cream and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add butter, and salt and pepper. Slowly stir in grits and reduce heat. Cook approximately 20 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently. Set aside.
