RED SNAPPER LIVORNESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold the snapper fillets, over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the olives and capers and continue cooking until onion is translucent 3-5 minutes.
• Lay the red snapper fillets skin side down in the pan, and add the marinara sauce and white wine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and place the pan in the oven.
• Bake in the oven until fish is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully transfer fish to serving plates, spoon sauce over fish and serve.

RED SNAPPER LIVORNESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and saute onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and saute for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, capers, black olives, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in a 11x7 inch baking dish, and arrange the snapper fillets in a single layer in the dish. Drizzle lemon juice over the fillets, and then pour the remaining sauce over all.
• Bake for 15 minutes for 1/2 inch thick fillets, or 30 minutes for 1 inch thick fillets. Baste once with the sauce while baking. Snapper is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

COD LIVORNESE

Steps:

• Season cod with some salt and black pepper.
• In a large 10-inch deep non-stick skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat and toss in the garlic. Saute garlic for about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add in the codfish and sear cod for 1 minute. Pour in the white wine, and allow the wine to reduce a little, about 1 to 2 minutes until it softens.
• Toss in the capers, fresh parsley, kalamata olives, crushed red pepper flakes, and crushed tomatoes.
• Cover with the lid, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the sauce with Cod for about 5 to 8 minutes. Codfish should turn opaque and be fully cooked. Taste the tomato sauce, and adjust if needed, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Using a large spatula, carefully transfer fish to a serving plate, spoon sauce over the fish. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top. Serve immediately.
• Serves 1 to 2

TUNA STEAKS WITH LIVORNESE SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Brush the grill grate with olive oil. Brush the tuna steaks with 1 T olive oil. Too much oil will make the fish taste sooty. Arrange the fish steaks on the grill and 2 to 3 minutes for rare or longer for well done tuna. Remove from grill and top with sauce. Sauce: Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the capers, olives, parsley and garlic and cook until capers are crisp and garlic is beginning to brown about 3 minutes. Add the tomato and lemon juice and let boil until richly flavored about 1 minute. Serve immediately on tuna.
