Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets, skin on
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
Two 28-ounce cans whole Italian plum tomatoes, crushed
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Dredge snapper fillets in flour. Tap off excess. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place half the fillets, flesh side down, in skillet, and cook until golden brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Remove fish, and transfer to a large flat dish. Add 3 tablespoons oil, and repeat cooking the remaining snapper. Remove from the skillet; set aside.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet; reduce heat to medium. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and wine; season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly between two large skillets; let simmer over medium-low heat until sauce thickens, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Divide parsley between skillets. Place half the fillets, skin-side down, in each skillet, and simmer until the fish is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.

Categories     Fish     Simmer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbl olive oil
1 finely chopped garlic clove
1 14 1/2-16 oz can tomatoes
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
4 oz fish fillets
1/4 c chopped fresh basil
1/4 c kalamata or Gaeta olives, pitted and chopped
2 tsp capers, drained

Steps:

  • in non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat-add garlic and cook until just fragrant-about 30 seconds, stirring constantly stir in tomatoes with their juice, salt and pepper-breaking up tomatoes with side of spoon heat sauce to boiling, reduce heat to low-simmer 10 minutes

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use the freshest snapper you can find for the best flavor.
  • Choose a flavorful tomato sauce: The tomato sauce is the backbone of this dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a good quality canned tomato sauce or make your own from scratch.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the snapper, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the fish until it's just cooked through: Overcooked fish is dry and tough, so cook it just until it's opaque in the center.
  • Serve immediately: Snapper Livornese is best served immediately, while the fish is still hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

Snapper Livornese is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of fresh snapper, flavorful tomato sauce, and briny olives and capers is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy seafood dish, give Snapper Livornese a try.
