Best Snapper With Linguine And Citrus Cream Sauce Recipes

GRILLED RED SNAPPER WITH CAJUN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Set up Weber grill with a charcoal Vortex for indirect cooking at high temp (any grill can be used with indirect cooking method but cooking times may vary). Open the top and bottom vents 100% for air flow.
• Drizzle Olive Oil (2 tablespoon) over the skin side of each Red Snapper Fillet (4) to prevent the fish from sticking during cooking. Lightly drizzle the flesh side of each filet and coat with Cajun Seasoning (2 ounce).
• While the grill is coming up to temp, prepare the cajun cream sauce. Heat Butter (30 gram) in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add Garlic (3 clove) and Fresh Parsley (1 teaspoon) and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Pour in White Wine (1/4 cup) and reduce for 3-4 minutes.
• Add Heavy Cream (1 cup) and Cajun Seasoning (1 tablespoon). Whisk to combine and reduce for 8-10 minutes stirring often until sauce thickens slightly. Add zest from the Lemon (1/2 teaspoon), squeeze in Lemon Wedge (1), and add the Grated Parmesan Cheese (2 tablespoon). Remove from heat and rest until ready to serve over fish.
• Place each filet on the outer edges of the cooking grate away from the vortex. Cook approximately 10-12 minutes or until the filets easily flake. For added smoke flavor I place a chunk of cherry smokerwood.com directly over the vortex, it will begin to smolder and give off a light smoke.
• During the last few minutes of grilling melt Butter (2 tablespoon) in a small sauté pan. Place the Lump Crab Meat (8 ounce) into the pan and warm for 1-2 minutes tossing gently in the butter.
• Carefully remove each snapper filet form the grill and transfer to a platter. Top each filet with lump crab meat and drizzle with warm cajun cream sauce garnished with a Lemon Wedge (to taste). This dish is great served over grilled Asparagus or steamed rice.

SNAPPER WITH LINGUINE AND CITRUS CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the shallot and garlic, and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the vodka, and simmer for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, lime juice, fish sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, fennel seeds, basil, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon orange zest, and cream. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the linguine, and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
• Meanwhile, season the snapper fillets with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour. Shake off the excess, and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the snapper fillets on both sides in the hot oil until nicely browned, and no longer transparent in the center, about 4 minutes per side.
• To serve, toss the drained linguine with half of the sauce, and divide onto 4 plates. Place a snapper fillet onto each plate, and ladle on the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon orange zest to garnish.

BAKED SNAPPER WITH CITRUS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make three slashes across each side of the fish using a sharp knife. This will keep the fish from curling as it cooks. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Cover each side with fresh ginger, then green onions and tomatoes. Season with sea salt. Slice half of the lime and place the slices on top of the fish. Drizzle with the soy sauce, and squeeze the other half of the lime over the fish. Cut the lemon in half and set in the pan. Cover the whole dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake the fish until the flesh is opaque and can be flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the baked lemon halves over the fish before serving. Serve the fillet on the top side first, then gently lift out the backbone, while helping the flesh off the bones with your knife. It's much easier than trying to turn the fish over.
