Caribbean Stuffed Red Snapper Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 330 degrees. Gut the fish and wash it, making an incision in the belly through to the bone. Put it in a pan and add salt, pepper, and brush some olive oil, and a little butter. Saute the chopped onions and the liver until it is golden in color. Add the pine nuts and rice. Add some water or fish stock. Cook rice about seventy percent. Stuff the fish from the head to the belly. Fill the whole cavity. Sew the cavity shut to prevent the stuffing from leaking out. Add some thick sliced potatoes to the bottom of the pan. Add some salt and pepper to the potatoes. Sprinkle the fish and the potatoes with the finely chopped parsley and place in the oven. Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Wash the fish and rub inside and out with the quartered lime and salt. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes. Wipe off the lime juice and salt. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F or prepare the barbeque grill.
• Combine all the stuffing ingredients and fill the cavity of the snapper. Bake or grill the fish until the flesh is opaque, allowing about 10 minutes per pound. Do not overcook.

Steps:

• To make the sauce.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter.
• Add the shrimp and mushroom caps and cook for ten minutes over medium low heat.
• Add green onions, crawfish tails, wine, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, pepper and salt, and simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• As the sauce is cooking.
• In a shallow bowl, mix the beaten egg with the milk to create an egg wash.
• Place the flour in a second shallow bowl or plate.
• Place a large skillet over medium heat and warm the oil.
• Dip each fish fillet in the egg wash and dredge in the flour.
• Pan fry until a light golden brown, turning once.
• Place the fillets on serving plates and top with sauce.
• Note: The Caribbean Room serves these with tiny boiled potatoes with parsley.

Steps:

• Saute onion in butter until golden.
• Remove from heat and mix in the crab meat, bread crumbs, parsley, heavy cream, and lemon thyme.
• Sprinkle cavity of fish lightly with salt and pepper. Stuff the fish and skewer edges securely.
• Mix wine and butter together. Place fish in a greased baking pan, pour wine-butter mixture over fish.
• Bake in 400°F oven, uncovered for 30 minutes or just until the flesh is opaque, basting frequently with wine sauce.
