Snapper Recipe -
Mediterranean
Fillets of
Sea Bass - Lubina With Plump Prawns
Great Snapper Recipe with Plump
Prawns and a
special reduced sauce.
You can use any firm white fleshed fish for this dish - I often use Sea
Bass - Lubina in Spain and - Loup de Mer in France. This is about the
nearest thing we can get to Snapper here in the Mediterranean.
It's important to leave the skin on as the crispy skin contrasts
greatly with the firm white flesh and the Juicy Shrimp.

Snapper Recipe Method
OK
- First make the sauce
Reduce the
wine and vinegar with the shallots until only a few sticky tablespoons
remain.
Add the
tomatoes and cook for two minutes.
Add the honey,
dill, salt and pepper to taste.
Keep it warm.
Now cook your
Fish.
Make 3 or 4
diagonal cuts on the skin of your Fillets - see photo - this will stop
them curling up in the Pan
Now fry the
fillets -in a little of the olive oil - skin side down - until the skin
is crisp and browned.
Turn them over
and cook for a further two minutes - until just cooked through.
Remove from
the pan and keep warm.
Meanwhile -
gently fry the prawns in the oil until just pink and cooked through.
Now spoon
equal amounts of the sauce on to four warm Dinner plates - place your
fish fillets on top and arrange the prawns around the plate.
