RED SNAPPER PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large zip-lock bag; add fish.
• Marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Remove fish from bag and discard the marinade.
• Combine the flour, Parmesan, salt & pepper in another zip-lock bag.
• Add the fish; seal and shake to coat the fish with the flour mixture.
• Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and add the olive oil.
• Heat over medium until hot.
• Add the fish and cook for about 7 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily.

GOUGERES WITH PARMESAN AND BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat water, butter, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted and mixture is boiling. Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in flour. Return to medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture pulls away from the sides and a film forms on the bottom of the pan, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer to the bowl of a mixer, and beat on low speed until slightly cooled, about 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium, and add 2 eggs, one at a time, letting each incorporate before adding the next. Beat until dough is smooth and shiny, about 1 minute more. Test the dough by touching it with your finger and lifting to form a string. If string doesn't form, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it does.
• Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe small dots at the corners of baking sheets, and lay parchment on top, pressing to secure. Pipe 1-inch rounds onto parchment, spacing 1 inch apart. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
• Bake until rounds are puffed and pale golden, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until golden and dry in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
