Jamaican Escovitch - Fish Served W/Spicy Marinade and Vegetables image

Escovitch is the Jamaican version of the Spanish Escabéche (searing of meat or fish and adding to a vinegar salad, served cold or at room temperature). The fish is cooked and then a spicy marinade is added. I've used red snapper but you could use any other firm fish such as rainbow trout.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 red snapper fillets (or 2 whole red snapper)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 leeks, sliced (white and light green only)
2 carrots, julienned
4 sprigs thyme, fresh
1 scotch bonnet pepper, minced
1 pinch ground allspice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 lime, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • Rinse the snapper and pat dry with paper towels. With a sharp paring knife, score the fish 3 times on skin side. Season the fish with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick sauté pan on medium-high heat. Sear fish (in batches if necessary), skin side up until fish is browned. Turn and sear for 1 minute on skin side. Place on a platter.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to pan. Sauté leeks, carrots, thyme, scotch bonnet and allspice until leeks are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add vinegar to pan and cook until evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour vegetables over fish.
  • Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
