Grilled Red Snapper With Tropical Fruit Salsa Recipes

GRILLED SNAPPER WITH TROPICAL FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, ginger, pepper, and olive oil. Pour the mixture over the fish and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Grill the fish over medium heat until the flesh is cooked through and opaque, about 4 minutes per side, depending on the size of the fish. Top with tropical fruit salsa and serve.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine fruits with the green onion. Remove seeds and veins from chiles and mince. Add to fruit mixture along with the agave or brown sugar and chopped cilantro. Add salt, vanilla and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings.

LOBSTER QUESADILLA WITH TROPICAL FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 cups red peppers, the green peppers, onion, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, but still firm, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
• In a medium bowl, mix the lobster meat, cheese, jalapenos, salt, and cooled pepper mixture. Divide the mixture into 6 portions. Sandwich each portion between 2 tortillas, spreading the lobster mixture evenly.
• Heat a grill or large skillet over medium heat and film the bottom with some of the butter. Place as many quesadillas as will fit without touching, and cook each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining butter and quesadillas.
• Cut quesadillas into wedges. Place the quesadillas on plates and garnish with remaining red pepper, the green onion, sour cream, and a pineapple top. Serve immediately with Tropical Fruit Salsa.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate for 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

RED SNAPPER WITH MANGO SHRIMP SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare the grill to make a hot fire.
• To prepare the Mango Shrimp Salsa, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Saute 2 to 3 minutes, then add the shrimp. Saute 2 to 3 minutes more, or until the shrimp turns pink.
• Add the fruit juices, chilies, tomatoes, and tomatillos. Cook just long enough to warm the tomatoes and combine the ingredients. Remove from heat and gently stir in the mango and cilantro. Season with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Coat the fish with the 2 teaspoons of oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.
• (Rub the grill with additional oil to prevent the fish from sticking.) Grill the fish on one side about 5 minutes or less. Using a metal spatula, carefully turn the fish and grill about 3 minutes or less, depending on the thickness of the fish.
• Spoon the warm salsa over the grilled fish and garnish with sprigs of cilantro.

GRILLED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Use a paring knife to cut four slits into both sides of each snapper, cutting through the skin and flesh. Whisk half of the lemon juice in a bowl with the oregano and half of the olive oil. Salt each fish liberally and put in a nonreactive container. Put the fish in a dish and pour the lemon mixture over them. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, turning the fish after 30 minutes to take in the marinade.
• Lay out five grape leaves on the counter, making sure to overlap them to create a sheet that is as wide as the fish is long, and long enough to wrap around the snapper 1 1/2 times. Wrap one of the fish in the leaves. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and snapper. Brush with the remaining olive oil and set aside.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the stock, garlic, and remaining lemon juice. Bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg. Return the pan to the stovetop over low heat and, stirring constantly, cook until the sauce thickens (make sure it does not get too hot or the eggs will scramble). Set it in a warm spot on the stove.
• Grill the fish for 4 minutes per side, making sure not to burn the grape leaves.
• To serve, set one whole wrapped fish on a serving plate and top with the sauce.
