RED SNAPPER WITH CILANTRO, GARLIC, AND LIME

Steps:

• Preheat broiler and lightly oil a shallow baking pan (1 inch deep).
• Pat fish dry, then arrange, skin sides up, in 1 layer in baking pan. Brush both sides of fish with 3 tablespoons oil total and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss together cilantro, garlic, and zest in a small bowl.
• Broil fish 6 inches from heat, without turning over, until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer fish, skin sides up, with a metal spatula to a platter, then sprinkle with cilantro mixture and drizzle with remaining 3 tablespoons oil.

SPICE-RUBBED SNAPPER WITH LIME AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Season the snapper with salt and pepper. In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, turmeric, ginger, shallot and garlic. Add the snapper fillets and turn to coat well. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
• Preheat a broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove the fish from the marinade and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Broil 6 to 8 inches from the heat until the fish is opaque in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.

• Marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt butter and pour evenly over the fish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve with juices spooned over the fish, if desired.

CHIPOTLE-RUBBED STEAKS WITH CILANTRO-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• To prepare, build a fire in your grill; if using a gas grill, turn both burners to high.
• Put all spice paste ingredients in a food processor and puree. Rub steaks all over with paste (it will be rather thick) and set aside.
• Combine ingredients for cilantro-lime butter in a small bowl and mash with a fork until well mixed and an even consistency. (May be made earlier in the day.)
• When all coals are covered with gray ash and fire is medium hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 3 to 4 seconds), put steaks on grill directly over coals and cook until well seared, about 7 minutes. Turn and cook another 7 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Remove from heat, top each steak with a couple tablespoons of butter and serve.
