Snapper In Black Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the jerk sauce: Peel and roughly chop the ginger. Add it to a blender, along with soy sauce, allspice, pepper, palm sugar, thyme, habanero, garlic, scallions, and salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
• Cook the fish: Heat a dry cast iron skillet over high heat to smoking. Place the fish on a flat surface, skin side up, and score it diagonally to ensure even cooking. Trim the fish by removing the very end of the tail and then cutting along the inseam, separating the belly meat and the center cut. Slice both pieces into 2-ounce portions. Season with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the hot pan, followed by the snapper, skin side down. Lightly press the fish so that it lays flat in the pan. After 2 minutes, turn the fish and cook another 2 minutes. Remove to a platter. Place a spoonful of jerk sauce under each piece, plus more on top, and serve.

Steps:

• In a saucepot, add the oil, and start to cook the onions, garlic, bay leaves, and jalapeno. Cook for 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Then deglaze with the white wine. Add the tomatoes and fish stock, and cook for 15 minutes. Add the capers and olives cook for 5 minutes more.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Put the red snapper in a roasting dish that holds it comfortably. Spoon the tomato sauce over the fish, and roast until the fish is cooked but moist, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve the fish garnished with parsley and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a shallow pan and brown garlic. Add all peppers and saute for 1 minute. Add rest of the ingredients. Heat until simmering and pour over the fish.

• Preheat grill or broiler. Broil the fish for six to seven minutes on each side, or until done. To serve, sprinkle with coriander and garnish with lemon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Rinse snappers and pat dry with paper towels. Cut 3 slashes about 1/2 inch deep on each side of fish and rub gingerroot, garlic, and salt to taste into slashes. Arrange fish in one layer in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish and drizzle on both sides with Sherry and soy sauce. Sprinkle mushrooms, carrots, scallions, and black beans over fish and cover dish tightly with foil.
• Bake fish in middle of oven 40 minutes, or until just cooked through. Gently push black bean mixture off fish. Transfer fish to platter with large metal spatulas and keep warm.
