Red Snapper In Nut Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Wash filets and dip each in egg wash (eggs mixed with milk), then roll in crushed cashews until encrusted.
• Saute in olive oil and butter until golden brown on each side.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, wine and lemon.
• Finish in oven, being careful not to overcook.
• Garnish with rum sauce, carrots and tomatoes.
• For Sauce: Mix all ingredients in small saucepan, bring to boil and remove from heat.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl blend together the flour, cornmeal, coarse salt, and fresh rosemary. Add the egg whites and the water. Stir to combine. Add more water if necessary to form a stiff dough.
• On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough. Transfer it to a baking sheet. Wrap the whole red snapper completely in the dough. Press the edges of the dough to seal. Put in oven and bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove the crust. Fillet and serve the fish. Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio, Mastroberardino, 1994

Steps:

• When cooking with a whole fish you must first be sure that the fish is gutted, your local fish market will do this for you. The skin should be scaled and the gills and fins removed. Leave on the head and tail. Rinse the fish inside and out then pat dry.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the parsley, orange, fennel, bay leaves, shallot, red pepper flakes, fennel seed, and 1/4-cup olive oil. Stuff the cavity of the fish with 3/4 of the mixture, then spread the remaining 1/4 on the bottom of a roasting pan so the fish will not stick.
• Transfer the fish to the roasting pan and rub the skin with remaining olive oil. In another bowl, whip the egg whites to a stiff peak, then fold in the salt to make a paste. Smear the salt paste over the entire fish and roast in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 to 40 minutes. The egg whites form a hard crust that will crack like a shell. To serve, scoop the flesh from the fish with a spoon.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the mango, wine, sugar, ginger, and lime juice and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, until thick and syrupy. Add the cream, mix well, and remove from the heat. Pour into a blender and blend until smooth (or use an immersion blender). Return to the saucepan and simmer over low heat for 8 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the butter, a piece at a time, and stir until incorporated before adding the next piece. Be careful not to boil the sauce, or it will separate. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Place the nuts, panko and basil in a food processor and process until fine. Spread on a plate. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha (chile paste) and mix well. Lightly season the fish with salt and pepper. Evenly spread a light coat of the chile mayonnaise on one side of each fish fillet. Coat the same side evenly with the nut coating.
• In an ovenproof saute pan or skillet, pour in just enough oil to coat the bottom and heat over medium heat. (Be careful not to heat the pan too hot or the macadamia nuts will burn). Add the fish, crust side down, and saute for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Turn the fish and place in the oven for 5 minutes, until cooked through and firm to the touch.
• Place the fillets on warmed individual places. Serve with the mango-lime butter.

Steps:

• 1. 1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Pat fish dry. Finely grind 3/4 cup of the nuts in a food processor or by hand, add olive oil and thyme and combine. Spread nut mixture on top of fish filets.
• 2. 2. Place filets in medium size broiler safe baking dish and bake, uncovered for 10 -12 minutes or until centers are opaque. Meanwhile, coarsely chop rest of nuts.
• 3. 3. Remove fish from oven and turn on broiler. Top fish with coarsely chopped nuts and place fish under broiler to brown for about one minute, watching carefully. Serve with lemon wedges.
