RED SNAPPER WITH SHERRY BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• In a small saucepan cook the Sherry, the shallot, the white wine, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste over moderately high heat until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, remove the pan from the heat, and whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, adding each new piece before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce should not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of thin hollandaise.)
• On a foil-covered broiler pan broil the fillets under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they just flake, divide them between 2 plates, and spoon the sauce over them.

RED SNAPPER IN WHITE WINE SAUCE & TOMATOES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly butter a baking dish. Plece the fish filets in a single layer in the dish. Season with salt and pepper.
• 2. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add onions and garlic, and saute until limp - about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden.
• 3. Gradually add the wine, stirring until thickened. Add the tomatoes, herbs, salt and pepper. Pour sauce over fish fillets.
• 4. Sprinkle bread crumbs over all, top with the Parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a knife.

RED SNAPPER AND CEPES IN A PORT REDUCTION

Steps:

• 1. Bring the port to a boil in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower the heat slightly and simmer until reduced to 1 cup (if using a gas stove, never let the flames extend above the bottom edge of the pan). Add the vinegar and simmer until reduced almost to a syrup consistency, lowering the heat as necessary to keep the sauce from burning around the edges-you should have about 7 tablespoons. (The sauce can be made to this point up to 1 week ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
• 2. Divide 1 tablespoon of corn oil between the 2 skillets and place over high heat until the oil is just smoking. Divide the cepes, thyme, and garlic between the skillets and lower the heat to medium. Sauté until browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the heat to low and divide the shallot and 2 tablespoons of butter between the skillets. Season both with salt and pepper. Cook until the shallot is softened and the cepes are tender, about 6 minutes more. Discard the garlic and thyme and combine the mixtures. (The cepes can be made to his point up to 1 day ahead; cover and refrigerate).
• 3. Season both sides of the snapper with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the five-spice powder over the skin and rub it into the fish. Clean the skillets and divide the remaining 2 tablespoons of corn oil between them. Place both over high heat until the oil is just smoking. Add the snapper to the skillets, skin side down, and briefly hold the fillets down with a spatula to prevent the skin from shrinking. Sauté until the bottom of the fillets are dark and crusted, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook for about 5 minutes longer, until a metal skewer inserted into the fish for 5 seconds is met with medium resistance and feels warm when touched to your lip. Keep the fillets warm.
• 4. Meanwhile, reheat the mushrooms. Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat. Cut the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in to 1/2-inch pieces. Lift the saucepan a few inches above the heat and add the butter. Shake the pan back and forth until the butter is melted and incorporated into the sauce; this will take about 3 minutes. Do not stir or whisk the butter into the sauce. The sauce will be very shiny and clear.
• 5. To serve, stir the chives into the mushrooms and arrange them in the center of 4 large plates. Top with the snapper. Drizzle the sauce around the mushrooms and serve immediately.

NECTARINES AND BERRIES IN WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Purée half the raspberries or blackberries by forcing them through a sieve or potato ricer to eliminate seeds.
• Place the wine (with raspberries, use white; with blackberries, red) in a 3-quart saucepan. Stir in the sugar, bring to a slow simmer and add the nectarines and pits. Simmer until the fruit is just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the nectarines to a bowl with a slotted spoon, draining well. Discard the pits. Stir berry purée into the pan.
• Bring wine with berry purée to a boil and cook about 15 minutes, until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and framboise or brandy, if using. Allow to cool 30 minutes. Mix the remaining berries with the nectarines. Pour the sauce over the fruit and refrigerate several hours, or overnight. Serve on its own or over ice cream, garnished with mint.

QUICK-BRAISED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine wine, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, stirring until sugar has dissolved; set aside. Pat fish very dry; make 3 diagonal slashes at 2-inch intervals on each side. Sprinkle fish all over with remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
• Preheat a wok or large skillet over high until smoking hot, about 2 minutes. Carefully add oil and wait until it shimmers, 10 to 15 seconds. Add ginger and garlic; reduce heat to medium-high and cook until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate with a fork or slotted spoon.
• Swirl oil around wok to evenly coat. Add fish and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown at bottom edges and it no longer sticks to pan (test by shaking vigorously; fish should slide back and forth when ready to flip), about 5 minutes. Flip and cook on second side, 5 minutes more. Flip again. Return ginger mixture to wok, along with wine mixture, peppers, and scallions. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, spooning braising liquid over top of fish constantly, until thickened slightly and fish is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately, with rice.
