1. Slice ultra-thin cucumbers. Sashimi with a piece of cucumber dipped in soy sauce.

2. S&P, cornstarch. oil in skillet and cook. Yukon gold potatoes, cubed. Cover with S&P and a good amount of olive oil. Bake at 350 for about an hour, turning halfway. Vegetable of your choice.

The sashimi is the shite though.

Grill or roast with just a little olive oil, lemon juice, s&p.

Don't frick with it too much, it's good fish on its own.

I like to cook snapper when it's really fresh in a skillet with butter, black pepper, and a little Slap Ya Mama. Squeeze a little lemon on it when it's done

Bake it seasoned the way u like. It dosnt Sauté or grill as well as a firmer fish. Seasoned w ur blend , butter, lemon and capers is my fave in oven. Quick broil to crisp it up abit.

Snapper is pretty damn firm, fish-wise. It'll hold up to almost anything you want to do to it.

The best bang for your buck as far as taste plus simplicity is to chunk them out, batter them and deep fry them

If I'm eating a whole portion size piece my preferred way of cooking is over a wood or charcoal fire. Light drizzle of olive oil and a simple seasoning blend like cavenders. Finish with a compound butter. Garnish with scallions

Make crosshatch incisions on the skin side of the red snapper filet.

Rub the entire filet with a little Shaoxing wine and salt. Let stand 20-30 minites.

Line a heatproof plate that fits into your steamer with scallion whites and ginger slices.

Place the fish on top & slowly steam over medium heat for 8 to12 minutes until just cooked through.

Discard any liquid collected and aromatics on the plate from steaming.

Top the fish with fresh julienned ginger, minced garlic, and lots of chopped green onions.

Heat 1/4 cup of neutral oil in a pan until smoking hot, then carefully pour it directly over the aromatics to flash-fry them on the fish skin.

Drizzle warm light soy sauce around the base of the fish filet to finish.

Bro, I don’t think he’s scaling a 20 lb. fish! Sounds good for some smaller 4-5 pounders.

Bro... he said he had 3 filets, not a whole #20 fish. Nice reading and comprehension, dork!!!

Melt two sticks of butter and separate milk solids.
Place into bowl. Heat skillet or flat griddle.
Take filet of fish and liberally season it with Redfish magic or anther heavy paprika seasoning with cayenne and white pepper.
Take season coated fish and dip the entire thing in the butter then put flat side up in a hot skillet.
Flip after 2-3 minutes.
Repeat other side.
Top with creole meunere sauce.

To make creole meunere sauce take a half cup of Worchester sauce and simmer it with two cut up and juiced lemons. Then reduce sauce to half. Then remove from heat remove lemons and throw in a half stick of butter sliced up and whisk it. That's the meunere sauce.
Top it in the blackened fish. A cajun style fish with a creole sauce. Best of both worlds.
.

Though Andoulle Crusted is my favorite way to cook this.

Grill the filet with salt and pepper. Creole seasoning if you would like.

Finish with a beurre monte and a squeeze of lemon. To make the beurre monte, add a tablespoon of water to a pan and heat it until it just starts to simmer. Then whisk in 4 tablespoons of cold butter, a tablespoon at a time, until all is incorporated and becomes saucy. Super easy to make and you already have the ingredients at home.

Interesting. I asusme the water is the emulsifier or vice versa? Similar to my post above but I use lemon. It is always a hit on any fish.
