Ritzy Red Snapper Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse snapper under cold water, and pat dry. In a shallow bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, rice vinegar, mustard, honey, green onions, and ginger.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip snapper fillets in marinade to coat both sides, and place in skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Pour remaining marinade into skillet. Reduce heat, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the tomatoes, basil, onions, and olives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Season both sides of the fillets with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Essence. Arrange the fish on the baking sheet, followed by the tomato mixture and then the lemon slices. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each fillet.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the snapper is cooked through. To serve, place a portion of Rice Pilaf on an entree plate. Use a spatula to remove the fish, along with the tomatoes, onions and lemons from the baking sheet and place over the Rice Pilaf. Drizzle with tomato water, if desired, and garnish each fillet with a chiffonade of fresh basil.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Add the rice and cook, stirring, until opaque and nutty in aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and salt, stir well, and bring to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Tear 2 pieces of parchment or aluminum foil, about 12-inch square.
• Drizzle some olive oil in center of each square and spread with your fingers. Set the filets, skin side down, over the olive oil in the foil and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle more olive oil over fish, then top with tomatoes and then fresh herbs. Drizzle drops more olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Wrap, deli style. Set package on a baking dish or sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until tender. While snapper is cooking, make orange rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread cubed vegetables evenly across a baking sheet, and bake until slightly tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, rinse the fish with cool water and season the insides with salt and pepper. In each fish, place sprigs of thyme, sage, and rosemary; a garlic clove, and a wedge of lemon.
• Remove vegetables to a medium saucepan, and reserve. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees. Lightly oil the baking sheet that held the vegetables, and place the stuffed fish on it. Roast the fish at 450 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until cooked to taste.
• While fish is cooking, add lemon juice, lime juice and white wine to the saucepan of vegetables. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat, to reduce liquid slightly. Add butter, tomato, sage and oregano.
• Serve the whole roasted fish topped with vegetable sauce. Serve with roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables.

Steps:

• Prepare the adobo: Combine all the adobo ingredients and grind them together in a large pilón or mortar and pestle, or simply mix them together in a small bowl.
• Prepare the fish: Make three shallow crosswise cuts on both sides of the surface of the fish skin, then place it in a deep container with a lid or a large resealable bag. Pour adobo over, rubbing it into the skin, head and cavity. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or 2 to 3 hours in the fridge. If marinating longer, let the fish come to room temperature 30 minutes before frying.
• In a wide, heavy-bottomed pot large enough to submerge your fish, pour in enough oil to reach a depth of at least 2 inches. Heat over high until oil is simmering and reaches 350 degrees on a candy thermometer.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
• Once the oil comes to temperature, pick the marinated fish up by the tail, shake off excess marinade, and lower it head-first into simmering oil. Use a pair of tongs to gently nudge the fish to prevent it from sticking to the pot. It'll be very active at first, so have a splatter shield handy, if you've got one.
• Using a heat-safe ladle, baste any unsubmerged fish with hot oil repeatedly, ensuring fish cooks evenly. Fry until it turns golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully and removing immediately if it starts to get dark.
• Using an extra-long fish spatula, or a set of heatproof tongs and a heatproof spatula, carefully lift the fish out of the oil and transfer it to the lined baking sheet.
• Let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with lime wedges, hot sauce and cilantro.

• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes, depending on size of the fish.
