To temper the fish before cooking it simply means allowing it to come to room temperature. If the fish goes into the pan cold, it will steam, rather than sear.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange, peeled and segmented into supremes
1 pink grapefruit, peeled and segmented into supremes
1 celery stalk, peeled and thinly sliced on the bias
1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely sliced, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons chives, chopped
Coarse salt and ground white pepper
2 teaspoons safflower or canola oil
2 red snapper fillets, skin-on, about 1 1/2 pounds

Steps:

  • Remove the fish 15 minutes before cooking to "temper." Thoroughly pat dry each fillet on both sides with paper towel. Score the skin lightly with a sharp knife, carefully. Do not pierce the flesh.
  • Cut the orange and grapefruit sections into thirds. Place in a bowl with the celery and toss with the mint and herbs.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over very high heat. Just before searing, season the flesh side of the fish with salt and pepper. Drizzle in the oil and add the fillets, flesh side down to the pan. Sear for 2 minutes. Season the skin with salt and pepper and flip. Cook another 2 minutes. Both sides should be golden brown and slightly crispy. Serve each fillet with a couple tablespoons of citrus relish on top. Garnish with fresh mint.

4 red snapper fillets, cut 1/2-inch thick (about 6 ounces each), skin on
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
10 basil leaves, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup dry white wine

Remove the skin from the fillets and transfer the fillets, skin side down, to a serving platter; cover loosely with foil to keep warm. 4.
