Snappercakes Recipes

Steps:

• Put the fish into a food processor and process for 3 minutes, or until you have even chunks. (do not over process as these cakes should have a bit of texture).
• Transfer the fish to a bowl and add the chopped beans, lemongrass, sweet chilli sauce, coriander, basil, sugar, fish sauce, and kaffir lime leaves and mix together thoroughly.
• Taking 1 tablespoon of mixture at a time,hand roll each tanlespoon into a neat ball. Flatten ball slightly with the palm of your hand and place on a tray. Repeat with the rest of the remaining mixture.
• You should have approx 16 balls in total.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1- 2 hours.
• Remove the cakes and toss the cakes in the flour lightly dusting them.
• Place some oil in a fry pan and heat oil to very hot. Fry the cakes in batches, for about three minutes each, or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towls.
• Serve with extra sweet chilli sauce or tartare sauce.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. With slightly moistened hands, form the mixture into 12 cakes, each about 1/2 inch thick.
• Coat a large nonstick skillet lightly with oil. Heat over medium heat until hot. Add as many fish cakes as will comfortably fit in pan. Cook until nicely browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar, pineapple juice, fish sauce, brown sugar and ketchup. Bring to a steady simmer and cook until reduced by almost half, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the scallions and bell peppers in a medium bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss. Grill until well marked and tender, about 2 minutes per side for the scallions and 3 minutes per side for the peppers.
• Score the skin side of the snapper fillets, making a few small slashes. Pat dry. Brush both sides of the fillets with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the fish skin-side down, covered, until it's cooked around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook through, 3 to 4 more minutes.
• Cut the scallions into 3-inch pieces and cut the peppers into 1/4-inch strips. Divide the vegetables and fish among plates. Pour some of the sauce on top and serve the rest on the side. Serve with the rice.

Steps:

• Rinse snapper under cold water, and pat dry. In a shallow bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, rice vinegar, mustard, honey, green onions, and ginger.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip snapper fillets in marinade to coat both sides, and place in skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Pour remaining marinade into skillet. Reduce heat, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Make cakes:
• Simmer yuca in boiling salted water until fork-tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain yuca and transfer to a large bowl, then cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• While yuca is cooling, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion with cumin and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne over fish and add to onion in skillet, then sauté, turning fish over once, until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer fish with onion to a plate and cool to room temperature.
• Remove thin, fibrous core from yuca if necessary, then coarsely mash yuca with a wooden spoon. Flake fish and add to yuca along with onion and herbs, tossing to combine (mixture will be coarse). Form into 12 (2 1/2-inch) cakes (1 inch thick) and transfer to a wax-paper-lined tray. Cover cakes with plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes.
• Make mojo while cakes chill:
• Cook garlic in oil in a small skillet over low heat, stirring, until just softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer garlic with oil to a small bowl and stir in remaining mojo ingredients. Chill mojo, covered, until serving.
• Sauté cakes:
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat in a 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably nonstick) until hot but not smoking, then sauté half of cakes, turning over once, until browned and heated through, about 8 minutes total. Sauté remaining cakes in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Serve with mojo and lime wedges.
