clock: Fresh! Fresh Florida Red Snapper and charred avocado!
preparation
Peel and slice the avocado. Place in a heat-safe area and brown with a kitchen torch or place under the broiler for a few minutes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning.
Preheat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of the fillets to create hash marks. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper, then sprinkle lightly with cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Gently place it skin side down in the pan and let it sit for 3-4 minutes.
Flip and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until completely cooked.
Remove from the pan and set aside. Add butter, lemon juice, and lime juice to the same pot. Bring to a boil and reduce by half to make the sauce.
Spoon sauce onto plates. Arrange the charred avocado on top of the sauce and place the sea bream on top of the avocado.
