I got a lovely piece of red snapper on sale in whole foods recently I got to craving it after Michael on the chow and chatter facebook page said it was his favorite fish. I also wanted something really nice to cook on our new cast iron grill pan ;-) red snapper can be endangered depending on where it is fished so be sure to ask. I am also very keen on buying sustainable fish and was impressed with @WholeFoodsPR on twitter for sending me useful links on their polices another great resource is The Monterey Bay aquarium seafood watch guide they also have an iphone and android app. I simply pan fried the fish and served it with a mango salsa and cous cous it was delicious.
Ingredients:
- 2 small pieces of red snapper - lightly marinated in olive oil, salt and pepper
- a box of cous cous
- 1 mango, peeled and diced
- 1-2 small green chili's finely chopped depending on level of spiciness required
- 1/2 red onion chopped
- one small tomato chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/3 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- a pinch of cumin
Method:
- grill the fish
- for the salsa chop and simply mix all the ingredients together
- serve the fish with the salsa and cous cous
What resources do you use when buying seafood?
