Although this is one of the simplest sauces to prepare, the flavor is tangy and rich. Take care to add the butter bit by bit, stirring constantly with a whisk until each addition is completely incorporated.
1. Combine white wine, white wine vinegar, minced shallots, and black peppercorns in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons (about 4 1/2 minutes). Reduce heat to low. Add chilled butter, 2 pieces at a time, stirring with a whisk after each addition until butter is fully incorporated. Strain mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl; discard solids. Add salt and pepper.

The tangy sauce is a nice match for sweet snapper. You can substitute halibut or other firm white fish if you prefer. Garnish with chopped fresh chives for a nice presentation. If you want to echo the flavor of the sauce and pump up the flavor of the broccoli, after steaming, toss it with a bit of grated lemon rind and extra-virgin olive oil.

Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 8 (6-ounce) red snapper fillets evenly on both sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Add fish to pan, and sauté 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
