Alfred Portales Red Snapper With Potatoes And Onions Recipes

Steps:

• For the Fish: Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Pour 3 tablespoons of oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, but not smoking, place fish in pan skin side down, gently pressing on the fish so it does not curl up. From this point turn down the heat to medium and do not touch the fish. The skin will become crispy and release itself from the pan. Cook for 4 minutes on the skin side, and turn the fish over, cooking for 2 more minutes or just until done. Keep warm.
• For the Ragout: In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the potatoes and onions, sauteing them until warmed through and a little color has appeared on the potatoes. Add the artichokes and olives and cook another 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the potatoes are tender. Drizzle remaining1 tablespoon of olive oil into the ragout before plating. Serve warm.
• Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze 1 tablespoon of juice from half of the lemon into a bowl, removing any seeds that may fall into the bowl. Slice the other half of the lemon into thin slices, and place them in the bowl. Add the garlic, tomatoes, and parsley to the bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir to combine.
• Spoon the ragout evenly into 4 warm bowls, or deep plates. Top the ragout with the fish, skin side up. Drizzle the sauce on top of the fish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Slice red potatoes so they are about an 1/2 inch thick.*.
• Chop onions into large peices.
• Put the olive oil into a bowl.
• Put all of the onions and potatoes into the bowl with olive oil.
• Stir the veggies (preferably with a slotted spoon) until they are all equally coated with olive oil.
• Take the cookie sheet and place some tin foil on the sheet.
• Make a cross with two sheets of tin foil on the foil covered cookie sheet (make sure you have enough foil to create a pouch for your potatoes and onions).
• **I think Reynolds sells pre made aluminum foil pouches -- I didn't have them handy but my homemade pouch worked fine.**.
• Transfer the onions and potatoes to the center of the tin foil cross, making sure to drain the excess olive oil (why the slotted spoon comes in handy!).
• When you have all the veggies in the middle sprinkle your seasoning mixture on the potatoes, putting as much on as you like.
• After seasoning, take all four sides of the tin foil cross and bring them up and into the center, making a little pouch for the potatoes and onions to cook inches.
• Place in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
• Potatoes will be done when you can stick a fork through a potato without resistance.
• *Adjust cooking time to fit the size of the potatoes you want.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°. In a 10" ovensafe skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add potatoes; cover and cook until tender, 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, thyme and rosemary; season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and cook until vegetables soften, 5 minutes. In skillet, form potato mixture into four mounds. Season fish with salt and black pepper; place a fillet on each mound and top with lemon slices. Increase heat to high; when pan sizzles, add wine and cook until liquid reduces by half, 2 minutes. Add broth; bring sauce to a boil. Cover and bake, 8 minutes. Remove fish and vegetables and transfer to 4 plates; reserve broth in pan. Return pan to stove top over high heat and reduce broth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives, parsley and juice to taste; cook until sauce is thick, 10 minutes. Drizzle over fillets.

Steps:

• In a shallow pan, over high heat, combine all the ingredients for the court bouillon and bring to a simmer. Season generously with salt.
• Place 4 of the snapper fillets into the court bouillon, making sure that they are fully submerged. The liquid should remain just below a simmer. Cook the fish for about 8 minutes until cooked through and remove to a plate. Repeat this with the rest of the fillets. Serve with the purple potatoes, pickled pink onions and the key lime sauce.
• Place the potatoes in a medium pot and fill with cold water to cover. Season the water with salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and toss lightly with 2 tablespoons butter.
• Meanwhile, bring another pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
• In a medium saute pan, over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and shallots. Cook the shallots until soft but not brown. Season with pepper.
• Place the tatsoi or other leafy green into the boiling water and cook for about 20 seconds. Drain well. Add the tatsoi to the shallots and butter and toss.
• In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. Add the onions and toss to coat with oil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the orange juice, zest, and red wine vinegar and cook until nearly all the liquid has reduced. Season with salt and white pepper. Set aside until ready to serve.
• In a small saucepan, away from the heat, add rum, limes, shallots, and garlic. Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the rum to flame until it self extinguishes. Add the wine and reduce by half. Add the turmeric, annatto seeds, sriracha and cream and simmer to reduce, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Strain the sauce and keep warm. If the sauce is too thin, it can be thickened with a little cornstarch before straining.

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add onions and blanch until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Add potatoes and blanch until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain.
• Arrange onions in the bottom of a 14-inch ovenproof skillet (or divide between 2 smaller skillets). Layer the potatoes over onions and season with salt and pepper. Layer tomatoes over potatoes and place thyme on top. Pour in 1 cup of wine, place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in a large, wide pot over low heat. Add the shallots and saute for 5 minutes. Add the remaining wine and bring to a boil. Add clams and mussels, cover and cook until shells are opened, about 8 minutes. Strain; reserve the broth. Keep the clams and mussels warm.
• Scatter roasted garlic over tomatoes. Season snapper with salt and pepper and lay the fillets over the vegetables. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Pour 1 cup of reserved broth around the fish. Bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• To serve, use a spatula to get underneath the fish and vegetables so that you can transfer each serving to a soup plate, without disturbing the layers. Garnish with the clams and mussels. Top with a lemon slice and the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Steam potatoes until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Cool.
• Melt butter with 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Mix in 3 tablespoons oil and garlic. Add potatoes; cook 2 minutes. Mix in red wine. Boil until almost no liquid remains, about 4 minutes. Add stock, tomatoes with juices and oregano and bring to boil. Add olives; boil until liquid thickens slightly and potatoes are very tender, about 12 minutes. Mix in 3 tablespoons parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 heavy large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Add fish fillets and sauté until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
• Arrange potatoes in center of each of 6 plates. Spoon some sauce over. Top with fish. Spoon remaining sauce over fish. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and serve.

Steps:

• Cut 4 fillets in half and set aside.
• Simmer baby potatoes in salted water until they are tender and cut into 3cm sections.
• Meanwhile make the dressing (while potatoes are cooking) by combining the lemon, oil, garlic, spring onions and seasoning (I would recommend you put all ingredients into a jar, seal and shake well).
• Add the dressing to the cooked potatoes while they are still hot so they soak up the dressing.
• Heat a little extra olive oil in a heavy frypan/skillet and cook the fish pieces until they are golden on both sides and just cooked through.
• When ready to serve, fold the basil through the potatoes.
• Serve the 2 pieces of fish and a quarter of the potatoes with some rocket leaves or baby green leaves if desired.
