Potato Crusted Snapper Recipe 435

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add grated potatoes, boil for 30 seconds, and then drain. Plunge into an ice bath and drain immediately. Spread the potatoes on a plate or baking sheet to dry. Toss with the melted butter, salt, pepper, cheese, and lemon zest. Coat each filet with potato, lightly pressing with fingertips.
• Place the fish on a lightly oiled baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes in the oven until lightly browned and cooked through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season each fillet to taste with salt and pepper. Combine the potato and horseradish and spread the mixture over the top of each fillet, pressing it down so it will adhere.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until almost smoking. Sear each fillet potato-side down until a crust forms, about 3 minutes. Turn the fillets over and finish cooking in the oven until done, about 5 minutes for medium. Place on a large serving platter and top each fillet with some relish. Serve any remaining relish on the side.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the bell peppers, olives, pepper flakes, garlic, thyme, parsley, vinegar, honey, and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. May be refrigerated up to 1 day. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• To make the snapper: Toss the potato chips with 1 cup of the pecans, cilantro, and crushed red pepper and spread on a large plate. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and flour. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Dip each fillet in the batter, then dredge in the pecan-chip mixture and place in the pan. Saute until crust is browned and fish is just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, to make the sauce: Whisk the mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl. Stir in the red pepper, shallots and basil.
• Place 1 snapper fillet on each plate and spoon sauce over the top. Sprinkle with remaining pecans and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Using a Chinese or a regular mandoline, finely julienne the potatoes, and immediately put them into cold water and rinse thoroughly. Repeat 2 or 3 more times, or until water is clear. (The purpose of this is to rinse all the starches and sugars so potatoes do not burn when cooking). Drain water from potatoes and towel dry thoroughly. In a mixing bowl, add potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup of the warm clarified butter, or enough to coat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season snapper well with salt and pepper. Take julienned potaotes and put a thin layer on the top side of the fish only. In a large saute pan heat about 1/4-inch of clarified butter over medium-high heat. Carefully lay fillets in pan, potato side down, and pan-fry until potatoes are golden brown. Turn fish over and finish cooking in pan in the oven. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 dinner plates. Top with Beurre Blanc Sauce and garnish with lemon herbs.
• Heat cream in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup. Reserve. In a large skillet, reduce wine, peppercorns, lemon juice, and shallots over high heat until almost dry (only a little liquid remains). Add reduced cream, whipping constantly. Remove from heat, and slowly whip in butter until thickened and smooth. Serve over snapper.

Steps:
