Sautéed Red Snapper with Mushrooms

Serves: 4

(Huachinango con Hongos)
Category: Sautéed, Fried, and Grilled Whole Fish and Fillets
I enjoyed this dish during lunch with friends in a small seaside restaurant along the Pacific coast near Puerto Vallarta. The cook had made good use of fresh mushrooms that were available at the public market, and even though mushrooms are not a basic food in the region, modern Puerto Vallarta has ingredients from everywhere. If you like mushrooms, you'll love this dish. Any firm white fish fillets, such as rock cod, sea bass, or even halibut, may be substituted for the snapper; the freshest being the best choice.


   2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
   1 jarred pickled jalapeño pepper (en escabeche), seeded and finely chopped
   1 tablespoon tomato paste
   1/4 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro
   4 (6- to 7-ounce) red snapper fillets or other white fish fillets, each about 3/4-inch thick
   1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
   1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
   2 tablespoons olive oil
   1/2 medium white onion, thinly sliced
   8 medium white or brown mushrooms, thinly sliced
   2 scallion, including 2 inches of green, sliced into thin rounds
   1 clove garlic (medium), chopped
   1/2 cup canned fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
   1 medium tomato, seeded and cubed


1. In a medium bowl, blend together with a fork the butter, jalapeños, tomato paste, and cilantro to make a paste.

2. Season the fish with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the fish 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside and opaque but still moist inside when tested with a fork. Remove the fish to a platter, cover, and reserve.

3. To the same skillet add the onion, mushrooms, scallions, and garlic. Cook, stirring, 2 minutes over high heat. Stir in the butter mixture, and add the broth. Continue cooking over high heat until the sauce reduces slightly, about 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning. Add the fresh tomato and heat through, about 1 minute. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve hot.
