Garlic Lemon Red Snapper With Homemade Aioli Food

LEMON GARLIC AIOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• Crack the egg into the bottom of a tall, wide mouth glass jar. (You can also use a tall glass, but make sure it's wide enough for an immersion blender to fit. Do not use a bowl.)
• Add the garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and sea salt on top of the egg, trying not to disturb the egg. Do not whisk or stir.
• Pour the oil on top. Again, do not whisk or stir.
• Carefully submerge an immersion blender into the bottom of the jar, so that it's right where the egg is. Blend on low power for about 20 seconds without moving, until you see most of the jar has turned white. Then, slowly start to move the blender upward, without lifting the blender out into the air. Once you reach the top of the oil, slowly move back down to the bottom. Go up and down like this a few times, until the aioli forms.
• Store the homemade aioli right in the jar, in the refrigerator.

Turn fish over and repeat in same manner. Repeat with other fish. Pat fish dry, then rub with seasoning mixture, being sure to tuck some into slits.

Bend back outer leaves until they snap off close to base, then discard several more layers of leaves in same manner until reaching pale yellow leaves with pale green tips. Cut off green tips.
