Sauteed Snapper With Lime Cream Sauce Recipe

ingredients

4 Pacific snappers (6 ounce size), or other firm white fish fillets
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 thinly sliced green onions, including 3 inches of the green
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup lightly packed chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 Serrano chile, minced with seeds
1/4 cup canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

directions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Season the snapper fillets with salt.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook the fish about 3 minutes per side or until it is golden brown on the outside, opaque but still moist inside, and just barely flakes when tested with a fork. Transfer to a platter. Keep warm in the oven.

Melt the butter in the same skillet and cook the onions, garlic, cilantro, and chile over medium heat until wilted and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broth and cream.

Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until the sauce reduces and thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lime juice. Adjust salt.

Serve the fish hot, with the sauce spooned on top.
