Grilled Pink Snapper with Caramelized Pineapple-Green Onion Butter and Relish image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 serrano chiles
1 small ripe pineapple
Canola oil, for brushing
Sugar, for sprinkling
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 green onions (green and pale green part), thinly sliced
Pinch of chile de arbol
Clover honey, if desired
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 skin-on pink snapper fillets (about 8 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to medium-low heat. Grill the chiles until blistered and softened all over.
  • Remove the rind from the pineapple and slice into1-inch-thick rounds. Brush the pineapple slices with canola oil and sprinkle with a little sugar. Grill until caramelized on all sides and just soft, about 10 minutes total. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • Roughly chop half of the pineapple slices and 1 of the chiles. Put in a food processor with the butter and process until almost smooth. Add 2 of the green onions and the chile de arbol and pulse just to combine. Taste. If the pineapple isn't very sweet, add some honey and pulse just to combine. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until firm and the flavors meld, at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. Let it warm slightly before grilling the fish.
  • Finely dice the remaining pineapple and chile. Put them in a bowl with the remaining green onions, the olive oil, lime juice and some salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Set aside while you grill the fish.
  • Increase the heat of the grill to high. Brush the fish with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, flesh-side down, until charred and you can move it with a fish spatula without the flesh sticking to the grill, about 3 minutes. Flip, and smear some of the pineapple butter on the flesh side. Grill the second side until charred, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter, smear on a bit more of the butter mixture, top with the pineapple relish and serve immediately.

RED SNAPPER WITH SPICY SOY GLAZE ON SAUTEED VEGETABLES AND SWEET POTATOES



Red Snapper with Spicy Soy Glaze on Sauteed Vegetables and Sweet Potatoes image

Categories     Fish     Herb     Onion     Bake     Low Fat     Sweet Potato/Yam     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium carrots
1 yellow bell pepper
3 ounces snow peas (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup fresh coriander sprigs
a 3/4-pound sweet potato
3/4 cup Spicy Soy Glaze
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. Add cabbage and onion and sauté, stirring, until just tender, about 1 minute. Immediately transfer sautéed vegetables to a bowl and toss with coriander, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide potato among 4 plates and top with sautéed vegetables. Put fillets, skin sides up, on vegetables and drizzle with some glaze.
  • Garnish plates with lime wedges and serve remaining glaze on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right snapper: Look for a fish that is firm to the touch and has clear, bright eyes. Avoid any fish that has a slimy or dull appearance.
  • Prepare the snapper properly: Before cooking, scale and gut the fish. Then, rinse it thoroughly with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the snapper evenly. If it is too thin, it will not adhere to the fish and will not caramelize properly.
  • Cook the snapper over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Baste the snapper frequently: Basting the fish with the glaze will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Do not overcook the snapper: The fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.

Conclusion:

Snapper with spicy pineapple glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
