Snapper and Seasoning

Peewee Potatoes

Brown Butter Hollandaise

Method

Preparing the Snapper

  1. 1

    Season the Snapper

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the snapper fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Snapper

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the snapper fillets, skin side down, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.

  3. 3

    Roast the Snapper

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Making the Wild Mushroom Purée

  1. 4

    Rehydrate Porcini Mushrooms

    In a bowl, soak the dried porcini mushrooms in hot water for about 20 minutes until softened. Drain and reserve the soaking liquid.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a saucepan, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and fresh mixed mushrooms. Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Blend the Purée

    Add the rehydrated porcini mushrooms, vegetable broth, heavy cream, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Cook for another 5 minutes, then blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Preparing the Roasted Corn Salsa

  1. 7

    Roast the Corn

    In a skillet over medium heat, add fresh corn kernels. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly charred.

  2. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix roasted corn, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir to combine.

Cooking the Peewee Potatoes

  1. 9

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a pot, add peewee potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 10

    Season the Potatoes

    Toss the cooked potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. You can also roast them in the oven for an additional 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C) for a crispy texture.

Making the Brown Butter Hollandaise

  1. 11

    Brown the Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.

  2. 12

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice until pale and slightly thickened.

  3. 13

    Combine and Emulsify

    Slowly drizzle the browned butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste.
