Grilled Whole Snapper With Escarole And Preserved Lemons Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together sugar and 1/4 cup coarse salt. Cut 2 lemons in half crosswise, remove any visible seeds, and transfer to a small container. Add sugar and salt mixture and one sprig of thyme. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 1 week.
• Coarsely chop remaining lemon and 6 cloves of garlic and place in a medium bowl; toss to combine. Divide lemon and garlic mixture evenly and add to the cavity of each fish, along with 1 sprig of thyme; set aside.
• Finely chop remaining 2 cloves garlic and thyme leaves. Add to a small bowl with olive oil; whisk to combine.
• Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Brush fish with olive oil mixture and season with salt and pepper. Place fish on grill and cook, turning once, until the thick, fleshy part is firm to the touch, about 8 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with olive oil mixture.
• Remove lemons from sugar and salt mixture. Brush off any excess sugar and salt and place on grill, flesh side down. Cook until lemons are charred. Remove fish and lemons from grill. Serve immediately with escarole and a sprinkling of sea salt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Season the skin side of the filet with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in an oven-proof saute pan to medium high. When the oil is hot, add the fish, skin side down, and saute for one minute until a slight crust forms and the filet isn't sticking to the pan. Place the saute pan in the hot oven for 6 to 8 minutes until the flesh is firm and cooked through. Remove the saute pan from the oven and place it on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the butter, garlic, shallot, rosemary and thyme and baste the fish with the sauce. Remove the filet to a paper towel. Place a dollop of Preserved Lemon Dressing on a plate and place 3 to 4 Grilled Carrots on top of the dressing. Arrange the filet to the side of the carrots and garnish with the dill.
• Place the ingredients in a blender and blitz until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Cook's Note: To make homemade preserved lemons, submerge 6 Meyer lemons, quartered, in a quart of salt and a quart of sugar and water for 30 days.
• Peel the baby carrots and place them in a bowl. Add the salt, pepper and olive oil and toss together. Arrange the carrots on a baking sheet set over a sheet pan and broil them under a pre-heated salamander on high for 4 minutes, turning it down to low for a further 4 minutes. They are done when they are fork tender with a slight bite and have a nice roasted color.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Rub the fish all over with the tomato bouillon, pepper and garlic. Stuff the fish cavities with the lemon slices, tomato slices and herbs. Add the fish to the grill and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place snapper on a large plate; squeeze juice of 1 lemon onto each side and inside cavity. Set snapper aside to marinate, about 10 minutes. Combine soy sauce, butter, and ginger in a small bowl. Mix remaining lemon juice, tomatoes, chives, chile pepper, sugar, and salt together in a separate bowl.
• Heat a large skillet to smoking hot over medium-high heat. Cook snapper until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side.
• Place snapper on preheated grill; brush with soy mixture on each side. Grill, basting occasionally with soy mixture, until snapper flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• Transfer snapper to serving platter. Pour tomato mixture over snapper to serve.
