Quick Fried Red Snapper In Olive Oil Food

PAN SEARED RED SNAPPER WITH SKIN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the grapefruit juice, shallot, honey, and sherry vinegar, whisking well. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified.
• Season with salt and pepper
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Peel the beets and place them on two separate pieces of tin foil. Coat them lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Wrap the beets in the foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven until they are cooked through and easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 45-60 minutes.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, season the red snapper fillets with salt and pepper and cook, skin-side down, about 3 minutes, until they are lightly browned.
• Then turn the fillets over and sear the other side for another 2 minutes, until just cooked through.

FRIED RED SNAPPER BITES

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients for the remoulade together and set aside. The remoulade can be made up to a week in advance, and making it the night before lets the flavors mellow.
• Cut the fish into chunks of about two bites each. Salt lightly. Mix together in a bowl the eggs, mustard, Creole seasoning and heavy cream.
• Pour enough peanut oil hot into a frying pan to come about a half-inch up the sides. Heat this to about 350F.
• While the oil is heating, dunk as many snapper bites in the egg wash as will fit. When the oil is hot, dredge the fish in the mashed Saltines. You can do this in a bowl or in a plastic bag. Really press in the Saltines, and it's OK to have a few bits that aren't pulverized.
• Fry the fish until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve with the remoulade, and some lemon wedges if you have them.

PAN-FRIED BLACKENED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Mix paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl.
• Combine olive oil and butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Stir to blend butter into the oil.
• Brush some of the olive oil and butter mixture over both sides of each red snapper fillet. Sprinkle paprika mixture over both sides of each fillet.
• Heat leftover oil and butter mixture in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry red snapper until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

FRIED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the fish in cold water, drain but do not dry.
• 2. In a bowl, put the flour in the bowl.
• 3. Season one side of the fish with 1/2 of the teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of creole seasoning.
• 4. Lift the fish up and dry the plate off and flip to the other side.
• 5. On the other side, inside the cavity of the fish, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic pepper,and 1/2 teaspoon of creole seasoning.
• 6. Completely coat the fish in the flour on both sides.
• 7. Put stove on medium high heat, when oil is hot, add the fish.
• 8. Cook the fish on both sides for minutes or until the coating is crispy and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.

QUICK FRIED RED SNAPPER IN OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• 1. First I melt the butter. I use enough to coat 4 medium size filets. After it's melted, I add the lemon juice. Spread on a plate and lay the filet down meat first. Spread the remaining on top of filet. Go fix the cold slaw or shrimp while it rests for about fifteen minutes.
• 2. Drain the lemon butter from filets. Put sea salt on each filet. Pour House of Autry in a bag and drop filets in and shake gently. Don't let it settle too long before you put on stove.
• 3. Have over medium heat a pan large enough to heat some pure Olive Oil. I don't use Virgin Olive Oil, because you cannot fry a good piece of meat in virgin. If you get virgin olive oil too hot, it loses any of it's benefits and does nothing for the taste either! You are able to fry with 100%pure olive oil and not lose the good, for your body or your taste buds! Put filet in medium hot pan of olive oil meat side down. Cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on that side. Turn gently and cook for another 4 or 5 minutes. To make sure meat is the flakiest it can be and keep it's moisture, turn once more to the meat side down. Then, take from pan and place on paper towel or something else to help it drain excess oil. There won't be much. We cut each filet in half and I fed 4 adults and 2 children and have two half filets left! I complimented the filets with Carolina Shrimp and home made cold slaw. It would go well with just about any side you'd like. I think next time, I'll use it with something adventurous, like GRITS! :)

FRIED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Rinse to clean snapper with lime and water.
• On a cutting board, cut snappers to your liking. I would usually create 3 deep slits on both sides of the snappers but for this recipe I had two large ones so I cut mines in pieces. Buy ones that can fit in your pan!
• Pat fish dry. When done, season with fish seasoning, epis, salt, rosemary, thyme and lime juice. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour. This ensures that flavors get deep into the fish, yummy !
• When ready to make, use the largest non-stick frying pan you have. Add enough peanut oil to cover at least 1-1/2 inches of depth.
• Heat the skillet for a few minutes over medium heat. In the meantime, lets coat the snapper in flour batter. Dredge in flour and make sure to get flour into those crevices so they are also nice and crispy. While also, shacking off the excess flour afterwards and set aside.
• At medium heat, slowly fry for a few minutes on the first side but do not turn until it is ready. If you want to flavor the oil as I did it is optional. Add in scotch bonnet pepper, thyme and rosemary.
• When cooking, the fish will naturally release and float on top of the pan but you can also check by lifting it a little to make sure the snapper is golden. That is a sign, especially at medium heat that it is ready to be turned over.
• Total time should be no longer than 15 minutes for frying. But of course, not all stoves or pots are the same so keep an eye on it the entire time. My total time for frying was about 12 minutes using a dutch oven pot.
• Set on a cookie rack over an allimum pan to drain access oil. To reheat to keep skin crispy, bake at 350F for 5 minutes.

RED SNAPPER WITH TOMATO AND OLIVES

Steps:

• In large bowl stir together olives, capers, red onion, tomatoes, basil, 3 tbsp parsley and 1 C olive oil. Season with salt, fresh black pepper and red pepper flakes and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• In large fry pan, heat 3T remaining olive oil until hot. Working in batches, season fillets with salt and pepper. Cook on one side until opaque, about 3 minutes, lowering heat if necessary to prevent burning. Turn fillets over and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Cook remaining batches wiping pan clean between batches and starting with fresh oil for each batch.
• Remove fish to a serving platter pour lemon juice into pan and swirl around to combine with pan juices. Drizzle over fish and garnish with tomato-olive mixture.

WHOLE BAKED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 400 ºF.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drizzle and brush 1 tbs of olive oil (from the ¼ cup) on the parchment paper.
• Lay the fish on the baking sheet.
• sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly on the outside of the fish and inside the cavity.
• Whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, garlic and parsley.
• Spoon ½ of the oil and vinegar mixture into the fish cavity.
• Place lemon slices along the fish cavity (see picture).
• Pour the remaining oil and vinegar mixture over the fish.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven on the middle rack and cook for about 35 to 40 minutes. Check to see if the fish is cooked to the bone.
• Gently transfer the fish to a serving dish with a spatula. Squeeze the ½ lemon over the entire fish.
• I served the fish with steamed potatoes and salad.

ROASTED RED SNAPPER WITH FRESH HERBS, GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Arrange the fish in an oiled baking dish and bake it for 20 minutes, or until it flakes easily. Transfer to a serving plate, pour juices around fish and garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.;
