Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 25m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 red snapper fillets
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups white wine
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves

Steps:

  • Season the snapper with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper and place in a steamer. Pour the wine in a large pot and boil. Lower heat, place the steamer in the pot and cover tightly. Steam for 5 minutes. Place the clams around the snapper. Cover and steam until the clams open, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the steamer from the pot and keep the snapper and clams warm. Simmer the wine until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside. Place the butter in the pot and turn the heat to low. Add the shallots and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Add the reduced wine and the cream and simmer slowly for 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and remove from heat. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Place each snapper fillet on a plate and surround with clams. Spoon some sauce over and around the snapper. Scatter the basil. Serve.
