Anyone have a recommendation for a good snapper recipe? I’m tired of eating it either grilled or with a lemon butter sauce. Looking for something a little different.

Blackened? Not sure if that's different enough.

I saw an old man getting Snapper at my grocery this morning and they guy was asking him if he wanted to try the $7/lb fake snapper over the $25/lb real snapper.

The old man picked the real snapper and I couldn't have been more proud of him haha

It's not for everyone, but I used to love Snapper Sandy at Tunks. The recipe can be found in this booklet/pdf

Reverse sear. Well, not really. But I have a glut of snapper on the half shell and this is what I've been doing lately: Cover fillet in melted butter and lemon and Paul P's blackening seasoning. Bake at 300 until the meat starts getting flakey. Remove, crank the oven to Hi broil. Brush with a little more lemon/butter and stick under broiler until a crust forms. Good stuff.

Where can I find filleted Snapper in Lafayette? Don’t have the opportunity to go fish myself. Rouse’s has whole snapper but I’d rather not filet whole fish in my house.

Nothing quite like that myopic and miserable mindset of yours.

Keep up the bad work.

Typically such places will filet it for you, no?

The Fish Market Restaurant's Athenian Snapper

4 10-ounce pieces of gulf snapper
2 ounces Cajun spice
2 ounces greek olive oil
8 ounces feta cheese
Athenian sauce (see below)
Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Pour a little olive oil into a heavy pan. When the oil gets slightly hot, place fish in pan. Sprinkle Greek spice on top and cook for about two to three minutes. Turn fish over and cook on the other side for two more minutes. Turn fish to its original side and finish cooking for another minute or two, depending on thickness of the fish. (The fish is done when it is flaky and tender.)

Just before serving, pour the still-hot Athenian sauce over fish. Sprinkle about two ounces of feta cheese and some fresh chopped parsley over each portion.

Athenian Sauce

1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
1 medium ripe tomato
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
4 ounces pitted kalamata black olives, sliced
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon pepper
4 ounce greek olive oil
2 ounces lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar

In a heavy pan, saute all ingredients until they are slightly wilted.

I like to do a riff on piccata but instead of a warm butter emulsion, I make a lemon caper gremolata. I start with a chimichurri as the base and then add diced lemon segments, lemon zest, & a couple of minced-rinsed capers. Garnish with fried capers.

Season the fish with a blend of 3 parts salt, 1/4 part white pepper, 1/4 part granulated garlic, & 1/8 ground coriander seed.

Deep fried with zatarain's fish-fri batter, follow directions on box. Serve with grits. Pour a lemonade and Stoli. Put early Outkast on the bluetooth speaker. And wave 'em like just don't cayer.

In addition to the lemon/butter, try covering the fish with thinly sliced jalapeno pepper [take out the seeds] and/or cover with onions about 2 minutes before the fish is finished cooking. Can also add more lemon/butter sauce after putting the onions on the fish. Cook about 2 minutes more.

Another method, after mostly cooking the fish with lemon/butter add an etouffee as a topping and cook about 2 minutes more.

Or --- add some Pace Salsa as a topping. I use the Mild.

I like serving the fish on top or rice or noodles.

White flour and Tony’s in ziploc. Shake bag with snapper pieces. Medium-high heat cast iron skillet. Melt some butter in skillet. Cook evenly on both sides. Season with salt and pepper when done. DELICIOUS
