2 teaspoons vegetable oil
four 4-ounce red snapper or grouper fillets with skin
2 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
Garnish: lime wedges

Steps:

  • Separately cut carrots and bell pepper into thin strips and diagonally cut snow peas into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop coriander. Peel sweet potato and, if desired, with a channel knife cut 4 lengthwise grooves (one every quarter turn). Cut potato crosswise into 12 slices (about 1/4 inch thick) and in a steamer set over 1 inch boiling water steam slices, in one layer if possible, covered, until just cooked through and tender but not falling apart, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove steamer from heat and season potato with salt and pepper. Keep potato warm in steamer, covered. In a small saucepan heat glaze and keep warm, covered.
  • Preheat oven to 275°F.
  • In a non-stick skillet heat 1/2 teaspoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté 2 fillets, skin sides down, pressing on fish with a metal spatula to help skin brown evenly, until skin is golden brown, about 1 minute. With spatula turn fillets over and sauté until golden, about 30 seconds more. Transfer fillets, skin sides up, to a non-stick baking pan and sauté remaining 2 fillets in 1/2 teaspoon oil in same manner. Bake fish in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • While fish is baking, in a large non-stick skillet heat 1/2 teaspoon remaining oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté carrots until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil, bell pepper, and snow peas and sauté vegetables, stirring, until just tender, about 30 seconds.

SAUTEED RED SNAPPER FILLETS WITH FENNEL AND ORANGE



Sauteed Red Snapper Fillets with Fennel and Orange image

Categories     Citrus     Fish     Fruit     Vegetable     Sauté     Dinner     Orange     Seafood     Snapper     Fennel     Summer     Winter     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 navel orange
1 large fennel bulb (sometimes called anise), fronds reserved for garnish and stalks discarded
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fennel seed
2 (6-oz) red snapper fillets, with skin
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Garnish: chopped fennel fronds

Steps:

  • Cut peel and white pith from orange with a sharp knife, then cut sections free from membranes. Squeeze 1 to 2 tablespoons juice from membranes before discarding and reserve. Cut sections into 1/4-inch dice and reserve separately.
  • Quarter fennel bulb lengthwise and cut out and discard core. Cut quarters lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté fennel with fennel seed and salt and pepper to taste, stirring, until edges are browned and fennel is wilted, about 10 minutes. Cook fennel over moderately low heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes more. Stir in reserved orange juice.
  • While fennel cooks, pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 9- to 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until just starting to smoke, then sauté fish, skin sides down, until skins are golden, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and sauté until just cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle fish with lemon juice and serve, skin sides up, on top of fennel and orange dice.

Tips:

  • To ensure the fish cooks evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets so that they are all the same thickness.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up in the pan.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the fish fillets. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will not cook evenly.
  • To prevent the fish from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or grease the pan with cooking spray.
  • Do not overcook the fish. Red snapper is a delicate fish and will only take a few minutes to cook through. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • To make the spicy orange sauce, use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you do not have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • To make the sauce spicier, add more chili peppers or cayenne pepper. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat.
  • Serve the red snapper with the spicy orange sauce immediately. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so it is best to serve it while it is still hot.

Conclusion:

Red snapper with spicy orange sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and zesty. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
