Snapper Fillets With Herb And Caper Butter Recipes

CRISPY SKIN SNAPPER WITH CAPER SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Grate the garlic with a microplane
• Chop the parsley & cilantro and rough chop the capers
• In a medium bowl, mix the chopped herbs, capers, lemon juice, and 6 TableSpoons extra virgin olive oil. If needed, season the herby sauce with ½ teaSpoon of kosher salt and pepper.
• Rinse, and pat dry the fish: Line a plate with a paper towel and put the fish skin side down. Take more paper towel and dry the other side. Repeat this step on the skin side.
• Place the fish on a dry clean plate and sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. Be generous with the salt, but don't overdo it.
• In a COLD nonstick skillet, brush on a TableSpoon of olive oil to coat the surface of the pan. Place the snapper skin side down and turn the stove on medium heat. The skillet will heat up gradually and the fat will start to cook out of the fish.
• When the fat starts to cook, take a flexible spatula and press the fish against the pan for a few seconds. This step is very important because it will help cook the whole skin completely. This first side takes around 4-5 minutes. If your fish is thick, you may want to cook for 6 or 7 minutes. The key here is to make sure the skin is crispy, and the flesh is mostly opaque.
• Flip the fish over to the other side and cook for about a minute or two.
• To plate the snapper, spoon the caper salsa onto the plate and place the fish skin side up on top of the salsa.

LEESA'S RED SNAPPER FILLETS WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE

• Pat fish fillets with paper towel. Lightly sprinkle each side with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Exact measurements are not given as you only want to lightly sprinkle these seasonings on each side of the fish.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the fillets, SKIN SIDE UP, and slow simmer for 3-4 minutes. Flip fish over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Use medium heat, not high heat. You don't want the fish to be sizzling too hot or the butter will burn.

They'll release when they've finished cooking.After flipping, divide the remaining 1 TB butter over both fillets.
• Cook fish another 3-4 minutes until done. Fish will be golden on both the top and bottom and opaque all the way through when finished cooking.Transfer the fish to plates, leaving the excess butter in the pan. Cover fish to keep warm, or set fish in a 200ºF oven.
