Grilled Red Snapper With Spicy Lime Soy Sauce Food

GRILLED RED SNAPPER WITH SPICY LIME SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine lime juice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, chili garlic paste, ginger, scallions and peanut oil in a large bowl.
• Add fish and marinate for 2 hours, turning occasionally.
• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Grill fish 4-10 minutes, depending on thickness.
• Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges.

GRILLED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Use a paring knife to cut four slits into both sides of each snapper, cutting through the skin and flesh. Whisk half of the lemon juice in a bowl with the oregano and half of the olive oil. Salt each fish liberally and put in a nonreactive container. Put the fish in a dish and pour the lemon mixture over them. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, turning the fish after 30 minutes to take in the marinade.
• Lay out five grape leaves on the counter, making sure to overlap them to create a sheet that is as wide as the fish is long, and long enough to wrap around the snapper 1 1/2 times. Wrap one of the fish in the leaves. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and snapper. Brush with the remaining olive oil and set aside.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the stock, garlic, and remaining lemon juice. Bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg. Return the pan to the stovetop over low heat and, stirring constantly, cook until the sauce thickens (make sure it does not get too hot or the eggs will scramble). Set it in a warm spot on the stove.
• Grill the fish for 4 minutes per side, making sure not to burn the grape leaves.
• To serve, set one whole wrapped fish on a serving plate and top with the sauce.

GRILLED RED SNAPPER WITH CITRUS SOUSCAILLE

Steps:

• For the seasoning paste: Tip all the ingredients into a food processor and blend to a smooth paste. This paste tastes best if left for a few days to mature before using.
• For the souscaille: combine one rounded tablespoon of the seasoning paste with the lime juice, sugar, celery leaves, coriander, red pepper and olive oil. Taste for seasoning - adding more sugar or lime juice if needed. Aim for a tart, tangy flavour.
• For the fish or prawns: combine the lime rind and juice with the garlic, red pepper, spring onion and coriander and spoon over the fish or prawns and leave on one side for 5 minutes. Remove from its marinade and sprinkle with curry powder just before frying.
• Heat the oil in a sturdy frying pan set over a medium heat and fry the fish for 3 minutes, skin side facing downwards. Flip the fillets over and cook for a further minute until it flakes easily. If you are using prawns, fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring all the time, over a moderate heat, until they have turned pink. Remove and set aside.
• Tip the tomatoes into the same pan while still on the heat. Add the butter and sharpen with a squeeze of lime.
• Spoon a dollop of souscaille sauce over the fish and serve any extra on the side. Accompany with the warmed tomatoes.

SPICY SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Chop enough shallots to measure 1 cup. In a heavy saucepan cook shallots in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, water, sugar, jam, gingerroot, garlic, allspice, and red pepper flakes and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Stir in lime juice and zest. (Glaze may be made 2 days ahead and cooled completely before being chilled, covered.)

SEARED RED SNAPPER WITH GINGER, GARLIC AND CILANTRO SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Dredge fish in cornstarch to coat.
• Heat the olive oil to hot, in an appropriate sized pan, and cook (fry) the fish until just done, about 2-3 minutes.
• Remove fish from pan and set aside.
• Heat sesame oil in the pan until steaming.
• Add ginger and garlic.
• Apply this mixture over fish.
• Combine the soy sauce and water and pour over the fish.
• Now add the cilantro on top and then the sesame seeds (I like toast seeds for a nice flavor).

RED SNAPPER WITH SPICY SOY GLAZE ON SAUTEED VEGETABLES AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Separately cut carrots and bell pepper into thin strips and diagonally cut snow peas into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop coriander. Peel sweet potato and, if desired, with a channel knife cut 4 lengthwise grooves (one every quarter turn). Cut potato crosswise into 12 slices (about 1/4 inch thick) and in a steamer set over 1 inch boiling water steam slices, in one layer if possible, covered, until just cooked through and tender but not falling apart, about 8 minutes.
• Remove steamer from heat and season potato with salt and pepper. Keep potato warm in steamer, covered. In a small saucepan heat glaze and keep warm, covered.
• Preheat oven to 275°F.
• In a non-stick skillet heat 1/2 teaspoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté 2 fillets, skin sides down, pressing on fish with a metal spatula to help skin brown evenly, until skin is golden brown, about 1 minute. With spatula turn fillets over and sauté until golden, about 30 seconds more. Transfer fillets, skin sides up, to a non-stick baking pan and sauté remaining 2 fillets in 1/2 teaspoon oil in same manner. Bake fish in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• While fish is baking, in a large non-stick skillet heat 1/2 teaspoon remaining oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté carrots until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil, bell pepper, and snow peas and sauté vegetables, stirring, until just tender, about 30 seconds. Add cabbage and onion and sauté, stirring, until just tender, about 1 minute. Immediately transfer sautéed vegetables to a bowl and toss with coriander, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide potato among 4 plates and top with sautéed vegetables. Put fillets, skin sides up, on vegetables and drizzle with some glaze.
• Garnish plates with lime wedges and serve remaining glaze on the side.

• Meanwhile, mix prepared mustard, mayonnaise, green onions and salt.
• Spread sauce over fish and broil for a couple more minutes or until sauce begin to bubble.
• Serve immediately with steamed rice and a side of steamed vegetables.
