Best 7 Snapper With Almonds Recipes

FISH WITH TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Place a large dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add almonds. Stir constantly until they are tinged with color. Take from heat, and transfer to a bowl to cool.
• Season both sides of the fish well with salt and pepper. Place the same pan over medium heat, and add butter and olive oil. When both begin to bubble, add cod fillets skin side up. Brown fish until opaque all the way through, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer fish to a warm serving plate, skin side down.
• Reduce heat under pan to low, and add lemon juice. Stir to blend with butter and oil, then pour this sauce over fillets. Scatter parsley over cod, and scatter with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

GRILLED RED SNAPPER WITH SMOKED ALMOND-HERB-GARDEN CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Prepare the fish:
• Set the fish on a wire rack and let sit until dry, about 30 minutes, turning once or twice. Make five 1/4-inch deep slashes into the flesh on both sides. In a small bowl, combine the jalapeño and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Rub the mixture into the slashes and any remaining into the cavity. Add the lemon and shallot slices to the cavity. Rub the fish all over with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Light a grill and wire-brush any debris from the grates. Wipe off any debris and rub the grates generously with oil. Alternatively, rub a large fish basket with oil and add the fish.
• Grill the fish over medium-high heat covered, without touching for 15 minutes, until lightly charred and the skin releases from the grates easily. Using a carving fork, carefully lift the fish and slip a large spatula underneath. Gently flip the fish and grill the other side until the skin releases and the flesh is cooked through, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer the fish to a platter and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the chimichurri:
• In a bowl, combine the herbs, almonds, shallot, lemon juice and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Using a spoon, pull out the row of pin bones that run along the top ridge of the fish. Carefully separate the top fillet from the center bone and transfer it to a plate. Lift the bone and discard. Transfer the bottom fillet to the platter. Serve with the Chimichurri sauce and lemon wedges.

PANFRIED GROUPER WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Rinse the fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Check the fish for bones and remove with tweezers, if necessary. In a food processor, combine the almonds, allspice, salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin, and paprika. Pulse until finely ground, but do not over process or the nuts can become oily. In a shallow baking dish, spread out the nut spice mixture. Dredge the fillets in the mixture, one at a time, shaking off the excess.
• In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Fry the fillets for about 3 minutes on each side, until light brown. With a slotted spatula, remove the fish to a warm platter or individual serving plates and scatter with the parsley sprigs. Serve with wedges of lemon.

SNAPPER WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• 1. In a nonstick frying pan, toast the almonds over medium heat. Set aside.
• 2. Warm the olive oil and butter in the frying pan. Add the snapper skin-side up. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the fish to a warm serving plate and cover loosely with foil.
• 3. Add the lemon juice to the pan and whisk to blend with the pan juices. Pour over fillets, add the chopped parsley, and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

SNAPPER ENCRUSTED WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500°F. Mix the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl set aside. Place the almonds on a length of plastic wrap or wax paper. Make 4 slits through the fleshy parts of the fish on each side, cutting through to the bone. Brush the mayonnaise mixture over both sides of the fish, leaving the head and tail uncoated. Roll the fish in the almond meal, making sure that all of the mayonnaise-coated parts are covered. Place the fish on a rack set on a rimmed sheet pan, as if it were swimming, spreading open the sides of the interior cavity to help the fish balance spray with oil. Bake until the nut-covered skin is crisp and the flesh exposed by the slits appears cooked, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter, using 2 spatulas. To serve, lift the flesh of the fish from the bone with a spatula, using the cuts in the sides to help separate it into portions.From Homemade In A Hurry. Text copyright © 2006 by Andrew Schloss.
