Snapper Pontchartrain

Main Dish

Ingredients

6 red snapper filets, 6-8 ounces each

1/2 cup No-Stick Grilling Marinade for Seafood

1 Tbl kosher salt

1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

1 Tbl Clarified Butter

2 1/2 cups sliced button mushrooms

3/4 cup green onion, sliced

2 ounces white wine

2 tsp garlic, minced

8 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat

1 tsp hot sauce

3/4 cup Lemon Meunière

Instructions

Rub the fish filets with the no-stick marinade and refrigerate 20 minutes. Season the fish with the kosher salt and black pepper.

Prepare the grill. Place the fish on direct high heat and cook until opaque in the center, approximately 8-10 minutes. Turn the fish once while cooking.

Heat the clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place mushrooms in skillet and sauté until tender. Add garlic and green onions and cook 2–3 minutes more. Add white wine and crab and cook just long enough to heat the crab. Remove from heat and add the lemon meuniere. Remove filets from grill and place on serving dishes. Evenly divide topping over fish and serve. Garnish with lemon and fresh parsley.

Yield: 6–8 servings

Baked Potato Quiche

I call this recipe “Comfort quiche.” It’s perfect for a cold December evening. The great thing about quiche is that it can be prepared in advance and held cold in the refrigerator or frozen up to a couple of weeks. When the holidays are hectic and the house is crowded, this quiche is perfect as a lap meal in front of the fireplace served alongside a light salad.

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Smoked Gouda Grits

I am a huge fan of short rib entrees. They work especially well for large dinners as the doneness is all the same and no one has to worry about who prefers rare and who prefers medium. Plus, the bone acts as a conductor of heat, keeping it warm for longer. Smoked gouda adds depth and creaminess to grits. This version was created by Chef Nevil Barr, New South Restaurant Group’s Chief Culinary Officer. It’s made an appearance on the Crescent City Grill menu and we often use it for catering large groups (if multiplying the recipe for large groups, go easy on the salt and Creole seasoning, you can always add more at the end).
