Broiled Snapper With Smashed Potatoes Food

BROILED SNAPPER WITH SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack about 6 inches from heat. Stir butter, tarragon, and chives in a small bowl; set aside.
• Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high and cook until just tender, 12 to 13 minutes. Add Broccolini and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain; transfer potatoes to a cutting board and set Broccolini aside. Smash potatoes, 1 at a time, with the bottom of a bowl until flattened slightly.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over both sides of fish fillets; season with ½ teaspoon salt. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place fish, skin side up, on baking sheet and broil until skin is crispy and fish flakes with a fork, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add potatoes and cook, undisturbed, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, flip potatoes, and cook, undisturbed, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add Broccolini; cover and cook until warmed, about 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons herb butter and remaining ½ teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Serve with fish and remaining herb butter.

Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

BUTTER SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450* F.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, with 2 tbsp salt. Add potatoes, and boil until quite tender, but not falling apart.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment. Once potatoes are soft, place on baking sheets, leaving ample space between them.
• Use a flat bottomed glass to smash each potato to 1/4" thickness.
• Melt butter, and drizzle or brush over potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 30 minutes, until crispy. Meanwhile, fry the bacon and shred the cheese. Dice the bacon.

BROILED RED SNAPPER FILLETS WITH CORIANDER BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the red snapper fillets on a platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and brush each side with olive oil.
• Heat oven broiler or grill to high.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the shallots, lemon juice, soy sauce and coriander. Bring to a simmer, transfer to a small blender or food processor and blend to a fine texture. Keep warm.
• If the snapper is to be broiled in an oven, place the fillets skin side down on the broiler pan and place it about 4 inches from the heat. Leaving the door ajar, cook 3 to 4 minutes without turning the fish. Do not overcook. If the fish fillets are to be cooked on a hot grill, place them skin side up and cook about 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook skin side down for about 2 minutes more. Do not overcook. Pour the coriander butter over the fillets and serve immediately.
