Red Snapper In Squash Blossom Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the spiced pumpkin seeds:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the pumpkin seeds with the oil and spread on a baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, turning the seeds halfway through the cooking time. Remove the seeds from the oven and toss with the salt, garlic powder and paprika. Cool and store in an airtight container.
• For the squash sauce:.
• Heat 8 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. When the foaming subsides, add the sage leaves and garlic. Cook until the sage is crisp, the garlic is lightly colored and the butter has a light-brown color and nutty aroma. Add the squash and toss to coat in the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in enough broth to barely cover the squash and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook until the squash is soft enough to crush with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Working in batches if necessary, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
• For the fish and vegetables:.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet. Season the flesh side of the snapper with salt and pepper. Once oil is hot, add the fish skin side down to the skillet and cook until the skin is golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Turn the fish over and finish cooking on the other side. Cover and keep warm.
• In another skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter; once the foaming has subsided, add the squash and cabbage and cook until tender and heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
• Reheat 3 ounces of the squash sauce; when very hot, remove from the heat and swirl in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Place the sauce in the bottom of a bowl, add the squash and cabbage and top with the fish. Combine the pea shoots, 1 teaspoon of the spiced pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of pumpkin seed oil in a bowl and use it to garnish the dish.

Steps:

• The broth: In a 4-quart soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Scoop out half of the onion and set aside. Add the broth and potato, partially cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
• The blossoms: While the broth is simmering, clean the squash blossoms: break off the stems, then the little green sepals that come out from the base of the blossoms (they originally covered the buds). Use your fingers to break loose the long pistils in the center of each flower and discard. With a very sharp knife, cut the blossoms cross-wise into 1/4-inch strips, including the bulbous base.
• Add half the blossoms to the broth and simmer 3 minutes. In a food processor or in batches in a loosely covered blender (or using an immersion blender), puree the mixture; return to the pot.
• The chiles: Roast the chiles directly over the gas flame, on a medium-hot gas grill, or 4 inches below a very hot broiler. Turn occasionally, until blistered and blackened on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes for the flame or grill, about 10 minutes for the broiler. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand about 5 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, cut out the seed pod, then quickly rinse to remove straggling bits of skin and seeds. Cut into 1/4-inch dice.
• Finishing the soup: Add the chiles to the soup along with the milk and reserved onion; bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the zucchini and corn, simmer a couple of minutes, then add the remaining squash blossoms. Simmer a couple of minutes longer (the strips of blossom will soften into deep-golden "streamers"), remove from the heat, stir in the cream, taste, and season with salt. Serve in warm bowls garnished with the chopped epazote or parsley.

Steps:

• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Put the 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish. Put the egg substitute in another shallow dish. Dredge the fillets in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then coat the fillets in the egg substitute and let them sit in the substitute until ready to add to the pan.
• Heat 2 large nonstick sauté pans over medium heat. When the pans are hot, spray them with cooking spray and add 2 fillets to each pan. Cook until the fillets are golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a serving platter, and tent it with foil to keep them warm.
• In one of the sauté pans, melt the butter over high heat. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons flour into the butter. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth, and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the parsley, and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Spoon the sauce over the fish, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine green bell pepper, tomato, onion, olive oil, olives, lemon juice, green onion, capers, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper in a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Saute until all ingredients are slightly wilted, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• Heat olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add snapper fillets to hot oil. Sprinkle Greek seasoning on top and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn fish over and cook on the other side for 2 more minutes. Turn fish back to the original side and finish cooking until fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork, another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour still-hot Athenian sauce over fish just before serving. Sprinkle about 2 ounces feta cheese and 1 tablespoon of parsley over each portion.
