Barbecued Snapper With Butter And Lemon Recipes

GRILLED BLACKENED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix together the paprika, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, garlic salt, onion salt, thyme, oregano, and pepper.
• Sprinkle the seasoning over each side of the snapper. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to high heat (500F to 600F).
• Bring the lemon juice to a simmer in a small saucepan or heat to a simmer in the microwave in a safe dish.
• Remove from heat and add butter, and salt to taste. Mix well.
• Right before placing fish on the grill, oil the grill grates well. Make several passes as this will create a nice non-stick surface.
• Grill the red snapper about 4 to 5 minutes on one side, depending on thickness, until the seasonings are blackened.
• Turn the snapper over and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes until done or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 F.
• Remove the fish from grill and plate. Add parsley to the lemon butter and spoon 1/4 of the butter mixture over each piece of fish.

RED SNAPPER FRANçAISE WITH BUTTER AND LEMON SAUCE

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.
