Fish

Vanilla-Scented Sauce

Method

Preparation of Fish

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Season the Fish

    In a large baking dish, drizzle the olive oil over the fillets. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Roast the Fish

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the fish for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Preparation of Vanilla-Scented Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 6

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

    Add the finely chopped shallots and minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté until the shallots are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 7

    Add Wine and Vanilla

    Pour in the white wine and add the scraped vanilla bean and its pod. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 8

    Incorporate Heavy Cream

    Remove the vanilla pod and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 9

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    To serve, place a portion of the roasted red snapper on each plate and drizzle with the vanilla-scented sauce.

  2. 11

    Garnish

    Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
