Steps:
- Grate the zest from 1 of the lemons, carefully avoiding the pith. Set aside.
- Using a paring knife, remove the peel in long strips from the second lemon, scraping off any pith. Cut the peel into a fine julienne. Bring a small saucepan half full of water to a boil and add the strips. Boil 1 minute. Drain and rinse the strips under cold water. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- In a small heavy saucepan, simmer the lemon juice, orange juice, shallot, peppercorns and grated zest, uncovered, until the mixture is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids and return the liquid to the pan and set it over very low heat.
- Whisk chunks of cold butter into the sauce one at a time, whisking continuously. When all the butter has been incorporated, immediately remove the pan from the heat. (The sauce will separate if it becomes too hot.) Transfer the sauce to a small thermos or to a glass cup set inside a bowl of very warm water.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the oil. Add salt and pepper to snapper fillets taste. Place the snapper fillets in the pan and cook, turning once, until they are lightly browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fillets to 4 warm plates. Coat with the sauce, garnish with parsley and lemon-zest strips and serve.

SAUTEED RED SNAPPER
The mild, slightly sweet flavor and flaky texture of red snapper takes well to light seasoning and a quick saute. You can also make this dish with black sea bass. The skin of both fish is edible and crisps nicely in a skillet.

Tips:
- Choose the Freshest Red Snapper Possible: Opt for wild-caught red snapper whenever possible, as it has a more delicate flavor and firmer texture. Look for fish with bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm body.
- Prepare the Red Snapper Properly: Before cooking, scale and gut the fish, then rinse it thoroughly inside and out. Pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Use a Combination of Butter and Oil: This will help prevent the butter from burning and give the fish a nice golden brown crust.
- Don't Overcook the Fish: Red snapper cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve the Fish Immediately: Red snapper is best served immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
Sautéed red snapper with ginger-lime butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of ginger, lime, and butter creates a flavorful sauce that complements the delicate taste of the red snapper. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends, and it is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of red snapper.
