Add the cherry pepper brine and wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid is mostly reduced, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, rosemary and a pinch of salt; bring to a simmer.
• Season the snapper with salt and pepper. Arrange skin-side up on top of the vegetables in the skillet. Scatter the sausage around the fish. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover and cook until the fish is just cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
