Snapper in Haitian Court-Bouillon
Photo: Kwaku Alston; Styling: Kevin Crafts
Part French technique, part personalized spin, this main-course fish dish is the essence of good family classics. In the Cadet family, it's always served over rice. For the prettiest results, slice the red bell pepper and onion with a mandoline, making paper-thin strips. Choose a sustainable snapper species, like black snapper, or go with black bass or striped bass.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet and about 1/3 cup sauce and vegetables)
