Cancato Style Red Snapper With Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish and reserve. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, ginger, pepper, and olive oil. Pour the mixture over the fish and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Grill the fish over medium heat until the flesh is cooked through and opaque, about 4 minutes per side, depending on the size of the fish. Top with tropical fruit salsa and serve.

Steps:

• Cut fish into 4 serving size portions. Measure the thickness of the fish. Brush with a mixture of 1 tbsp lime juice and water.
• In a bowl, combine paprika, salt, ginger, allspice and pepper. Rub onto fish.
• Arrange fish in a shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered at 425 degrees until fish flakes easitly when tested with a fork. Allow 4 to 6 minutes for each 1/2 inch of thickness.
• To serve, brush fish with pan juices and serve with mango salsa and garnish with lime slices.
• Mango Salsa:.
• Combine mango, 1 red bell pepper, green onions, hot chili pepper, olive oil, 2 tbsp lime juice, vinegar, lime peel, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Cut the fins off the fish with scissors. Bone the fish through the belly, keeping both sides attached. Season both inside and out with salt and pepper.
• Arrange chorizo, tomatoes, and cheese inside the cavity. Combine butter, garlic, and oregano and spread over both sides of the fish. Fold the fish over and secure with a toothpick. Grill over low heat, until the cheese is melted and the fish is cooked, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Brush the fish with the wine continuously, using the parsley bunch as the brush.

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan or indoor electric grill to medium high heat. Drizzle snapper with extra-virgin olive oil. Combine spices in a small bowl. Rub fish with spice mixture. Cook fish 5 minutes skin side down first. Turn fish and cook 5 to 6 minutes longer.
• Combine salsa ingredients in a small bowl and allow it to marinate until ready to serve.
• To serve, plate spiced snapper with a generous serving of salsa. Sangria makes a wonderful beverage for this meal.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for salsa.
• 2. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
• 3. In a large non-stick skillet heat olive oil over medium heat.
• 4. While the skillet is warming, sprinkle the fillets with the fish seasoning generously on both sides. (I usually have seasoning leftover but it's great on chicken, or shrimp too.)
• 5. Let the fish cook for 5 minutes on each side.
• 6. Snapper is a very flaky fish so use a fish spatula to turn them gently. If they break it's not the end of the world... they will still taste amazing!
• 7. I like to serve the snapper over pasta with the salsa over the top. Any remaining juice from the salsa I spoon over each of the fillets. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, cayenne and garlic in a mortar or small food processor. Pound or process to a paste. Stir in 1/2 tablespoon oil. Dry fish. Rub with 1 tablespoon oil. Cut 3 to 4 diagonal slashes on each side. Use half the spice paste to rub into slashes and cavity of fish. Set aside 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat broiler. Broil chiles, tomatillos and onion until browned. Remove stems and seeds from chiles, and skin and cores from tomatillos. Place in food processor with broiled onion, cilantro and remaining spice paste. Pulse until fairly fine. Add allspice, remaining olive oil and salt to taste. Set aside.
• Turn oven to 500 degrees. Place fish on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 15 minutes. Turn off oven. Leave fish 10 more minutes or until ready to serve, up to 45 minutes more. Peel off skin, remove bones and place chunks of fish on serving platter. Drizzle with juice of lime. Steam tortillas or microwave them for 1 minute, wrapped in damp paper towels.
• To serve, spread a little salsa on tortillas, add pieces of fish, more salsa and dollop of sour cream. Roll to enclose.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. 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, 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 xec, immediately.

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.
