Red Snapper With Spicy Soy Glaze On Sauteed Vegetables And Sweet Potatoes Recipes

SPICY SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Chop enough shallots to measure 1 cup. In a heavy saucepan cook shallots in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, water, sugar, jam, gingerroot, garlic, allspice, and red pepper flakes and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Stir in lime juice and zest. (Glaze may be made 2 days ahead and cooled completely before being chilled, covered.)

GULF COAST RED SNAPPER

Lay snapper fillets into baking dish; cover with remaining bacon fat mixture. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Remove plastic wrap from baking dish; add tomatoes, onions, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 40 to 60 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

SAUTEED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Cut each snapper fillet in half crosswise. Season flesh with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot (but not smoking). Place snapper fillets, skin sides down, in skillet, pressing on fish with a spatula for 1 minute to prevent curling. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip, and cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more.

VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER

• Cook and stir in garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add capers and caper juice; stir to combine.
• Stir in tomatoes, olives, jalapeno pepper, . Cook and stir until jalapeno pepper softens and tomatoes begin to collapse, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in oregano.
• Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil into a small baking dish. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of the tomato-olive mixture. Top with 1 snapper fillet, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Top with more filling and juice from 1 lime. Repeat with remaining snapper fillet, seasoning, and lime juice in a second baking dish.
