Provided by Ming Tsai

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 whole snappers, eviscerated and scaled
Fleur de Sel
Freshly cracked black pepper
12 key limes, washed and sliced
2 red onions, sliced
2 tablespoons ginger, julienned
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 tablespoons whole, unsalted butter
1 ripe mango, rough dice
4 key limes, juiced
2 lemons, juiced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 sliced shallots
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for cooking
2 large plantains, peeled and sliced into 2-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, green part only

Steps:

  • Pat dry the fish inside and out. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Mix the key limes, onions, ginger, and olive oil together. Stuff the fish with the mixture. Rub the outside with a little of the olive oil. On a prepared (cleaned and oiled), medium hot grill, place the fish and grill both sides. Watch for flare-ups. Have a squirt bottle of water handy to prevent burning. Cook the fish for about 10 to 12 minutes a side or until the fish is flaky. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • On a large oval, zig-zag the mango brown butter. Place the plantains on the plate and top with fish. Drizzle some more brown butter on the fish.
  • Beverage: Fresh Key Lime Margaritas (3 parts 100 percent agave tequila like Herradura or Patron, 2 parts lime juice and 1 part Cointreau) or Virgin Margaritas
  • Mango Brown Butter Vinaigrette: Heat the butter in a small skillet over low heat until it browns, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully as the butter can burn quickly, after browning. It will smell like buttered popcorn.
  • In a blender combine the mango, juices, Dijon and shallots. Blend until smooth. Add the hot butter while blender is on. Season and check for flavor. Keep at room temperature. For storage overnight, keep in the refrigerator and bring back to room temperature for service.
  • Gingered Smashed Plantains: In a heavy skillet, coat well with oil and bring to medium-high heat. Season the plantains and saute until brown. Flip to brown other side. Drain on paper towels. Lay each slice topped with a little minced ginger on a 5 by 10 triple folded piece of aluminum foil. Fold foil over and smash with saute pan, pot or mallet. to form a small pancake. Reheat pan to medium heat and coat with oil. Saute the 'pancakes' until cooked through. (Can be easily pierced with a fork.) Right before serving drizzle with honey and toss with the scallions.;

GRILLED SPICED SNAPPER WITH MANGO AND RED ONION SALAD RECIPE



Grilled Spiced Snapper with Mango and Red Onion Salad Recipe image

Grilling a whole fish doesn't have to be daunting, especially if you use this turning method to minimize the risk of tearing the skin. Lay the fish horizontally across the grill grate with the top fins toward you and cook. When it's time to turn, wedge two metal spatulas under the fish-one near the tail and the other at the head-then quickly and confidently roll it away from you onto its other side in one fluid motion.

Provided by Andy Baraghani

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (5-lb.) or 2 (2 1/2-lb.) head-on whole fish (such as red snapper or black sea bass), cleaned
Kosher salt
1/3 cup chaat masala, vadouvan, or tandoori spice
1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for grill
1 ripe but firm mango, peeled, cut into irregular 1 1/2" pieces
1 small red onion, thinly sliced, rinsed
1 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped (leaves and stems)
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place fish on a cutting board and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. With a sharp knife, make slashes crosswise on a diagonal along the body every 2" on both sides, cutting all the way down to the bones. Season fish generously inside and out with salt. Coat fish with spice mix, packing on more if needed (it should cover the entire fish, head to tail). Let sit at room temperature 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Clean and oil grate.
  • Drizzle both sides of fish with remaining 1/3 cup vegetable oil to coat. Grill fish undisturbed, 10 minutes. Lift up slightly from one edge to see if skin is puffed and lightly charred and easily releases from grate. If not quite ready, leave alone for another minute or so and try again. Once it is ready, gently slide 2 large metal spatulas underneath and turn over. Grill fish until the other side is lightly charred and skin is puffed, 8-12 minutes, depending on the size of the fish. Transfer to a platter.
  • Toss mango, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a big pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and toss again to coat. Scatter mango salad over fish and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
