Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For citrus vinaigrette
2 tablespoons thawed passion-fruit purée or juice
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar or malt vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons finely diced mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)
1 scallion, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
2 lb calabaza or butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Cayenne to taste
6 (6-oz) red snapper fillets with skin
3/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Make vinaigrette:
  • Whisk together passion-fruit purée, citrus juices, and vinegar. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Stir in remaining vinaigrette ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
  • Make squash purée and fry fish:
  • Steam squash in a steamer over boiling water, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Purée with butter in a food processor and add cayenne and salt to taste. Keep warm, covered.
  • Pat fish dry and make 3 diagonal slashes through skin of each fillet. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry 3 fillets, skin sides down, until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn and fry about 1 minute more, or until just cooked through. Transfer to a platter and fry remaining 3 fillets in same manner. Serve fish, skin sides up, on a bed of squash pur)e and drizzle with vinaigrette.

I substituted tilapia for red snapper and it turned out great! I also added some chopped cilantro to the vinaigrette.
