Red Snapper With Warm Tomato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Season the snapper fillets with salt and pepper. Preheat a saute pan with the olive oil until the oil is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the snapper to the hot pan, flesh side down, and cook over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes. Turn to cook the skin side an additional 3 to 4 minutes. The fillets will curl inwards briefly, but once they have cooked for a minute, they will begin to relax and lay flat again, allowing you to cook the skin side to a crispy texture.
• Lift out the snapper with a slotted spatula, leaving the juices and oil in the pan. Add the sundried tomatoes, garlic, and shallots, and saute together for 2 minutes. Add the fresh herbs to the pan. Stir quickly, just to heat the herbs enough to release their aromas. Pour the sundried tomato and herb mixture over the snapper. Then drizzle a teaspoon of basil oil over each fillet and around the dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high heat.
• Cut 3 thin slices into both sides of each fish. Drizzle both sides of the fish with 6 tablespoons of the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and put 4 cloves of the garlic into each fish cavity. Grill the fish until golden and browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Lower the heat to medium, throw the Scotch bonnet peppers on the grill, close the lid and continue cooking for 10 minutes.
• Combine the orange segments, mango, onions and papaya in a large bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, lime juice, orange juice, cilantro and some salt and black pepper. Mix together, and then transfer to a serving platter.
• Gently place the fish over the citrus salad. Arrange the star fruit, if using, lemon slices, lime slices, orange slices and Scotch bonnet peppers on the platter and serve.

Steps:

• Mix tomato wedges, red onion, basil, dill, mint, olive oil and minced garlic in medium bowl. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut 4 foil pieces, each large enough to enclose 1 fish fillet completely. Place foil pieces on work surface. Place 1 red snapper fillet in center of each foil piece. Season snapper fillets with salt and pepper. Top each fillet with 1/4 of tomato salad. Fold up foil around fish and salad; seal foil on all sides, enclosing fish and salad completely.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Place foil packages, folded sides up, on grill or broiler pan. Grill or broil until fish is cooked through and salad is warm, about 12 minutes. Transfer foil packages to plates; allow diners to open their own packages.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
• If the fins are still on the fish, use kitchen scissors to cut them off (they just fall apart when cooked). Season both the inside and outside of the fish liberally with 2 teaspoons of salt. Stuff the cavity with the lemon slices, oregano sprigs, and whole basil leaves.
• Using a very large 14 inch (35 cm) sauté pan or a small roasting pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the fish and cook until well browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Drizzle with another tablespoon of olive oil and season with remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
• Using paper towels, wipe the excess oil out of the pan. Drizzle the fish with another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes and cook until the tomatoes begin to release some of their liquid, about 3 minutes. Stir in the potatoes.
• Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half over the fish and pour in the chicken broth. Carefully flip the fish over and baste with the sauce.
• Transfer the fish to the oven and cook for 18-19 minutes. To check for doneness, push the head down gently in the area between the nose and the top of the head; when the head easily moves away from the back of the neck, the fish is ready.
• Carefully transfer the fish to a rimmed serving platter, pouring any liquid from the cavity back into the pan. Cover the fish with foil to keep warm.
• Return the pan to the stove over medium heat. Cook the sauce and vegetables for 1-2 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, chopped oregano, and chopped basil and season with salt to taste.
• Pour the sauce and vegetables over the fish and serve, using a large spoon to remove the flesh from the fish. (Don't forget to turn it over to eat off the other side!)
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place fillets in well buttered baking dish and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Melt butter in saucepan.
• Add onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes without browning.

• Season with salt and pepper.
• Add tomatoes and herbs.
• Pour sauce over fish and sprinkle with bread crumbs and cheese.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes.
• Please note that this is a high altitude recipe, baking time may be less at sea level.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, place 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the onion, cover the pan, and sweat the onion for about 10 minutes. Then, add the tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, the honey and 1 additional tablespoon of the oil. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for 15 minutes, until much of the liquid has evaporated. Discard the bay leaf, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Puree in a food processor, and then put through a fine sieve.
• Heat 2 more tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick pan, and fry the eggplant until the rounds are golden brown on both sides. Repeat until all the eggplant has been cooked, adding more oil, if needed, for each new batch. Drain on paper towels; season with salt and pepper.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of vinegar to the pan, and stir for 1 minute over high heat to deglaze the pan. Spoon the liquid over the eggplant.
• Clean the nonstick pan. Working very carefully with the fish fillets, salt and pepper them on both sides. Place the fillets in the pan, and over medium heat fry them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
• For each serving, place the tomato sauce in the middle of the plate, top with several rounds of the eggplant and then, carefully, with 2 fish fillets, skin side up. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In large bowl stir together olives, capers, red onion, tomatoes, basil, 3 tbsp parsley and 1 C olive oil. Season with salt, fresh black pepper and red pepper flakes and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In large fry pan, heat 3T remaining olive oil until hot. Working in batches, season fillets with salt and pepper. Cook on one side until opaque, about 3 minutes, lowering heat if necessary to prevent burning. Turn fillets over and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Cook remaining batches wiping pan clean between batches and starting with fresh oil for each batch.
• Remove fish to a serving platter pour lemon juice into pan and swirl around to combine with pan juices. Drizzle over fish and garnish with tomato-olive mixture.

• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 11x7 inch baking dish, and arrange the snapper fillets in a single layer in the dish. Drizzle lemon juice over the fillets, and then pour the remaining sauce over all.
• Bake for 15 minutes for 1/2 inch thick fillets, or 30 minutes for 1 inch thick fillets. Baste once with the sauce while baking. Snapper is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine first 7 ingredients in 9-inch square baking dish. Bake 15 minutes.
• Top hot tomato mixture with snapper. Brush snapper with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and bake until fish is just cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. Serve.
