ALEX'S HEAVENLY SNAPPER FILLETS

Steps:

• Rub olive oil on the fish and marinate fish in lemon juice and a drop of white wine vinegar.
• Let fish marinate for 20-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, saute rest of ingredients in butter except for the onions and basil leaves.
• Heat broiling pan and place fish in the pan with the onions and tomatoes.
• Broil until half way done, about 8-10 minute and place basil leaves on top of fish and tightly cover pan with foil.
• Now bake on middle rack of oven at 400 degrees for another 8-10 minutes.

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.

BAKED SNAPPER WITH CITRUS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make three slashes across each side of the fish using a sharp knife. This will keep the fish from curling as it cooks. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Cover each side with fresh ginger, then green onions and tomatoes. Season with sea salt. Slice half of the lime and place the slices on top of the fish. Drizzle with the soy sauce, and squeeze the other half of the lime over the fish. Cut the lemon in half and set in the pan. Cover the whole dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake the fish until the flesh is opaque and can be flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the baked lemon halves over the fish before serving. Serve the fillet on the top side first, then gently lift out the backbone, while helping the flesh off the bones with your knife. It's much easier than trying to turn the fish over.
