Red Snapper or Other Fish Fillets in Paprika Sour Cream
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds fillets of red snapper, halibut, or grouper, skinned and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fish stock, preferably homemade (page 161), or water
- 2 teaspoons hot paprika, plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Toss the fish in a bowl with the lemon juice and some salt and pepper.
- Put the oil in a large skillet with a lid, preferably nonstick, and place over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the sour cream and stock and lower the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Add the fish with its marinade, cover, and cook until a thin-bladed knife passes through the fish with just a little resistance, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the paprika and dill and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, garnish with the parsley, and serve hot.
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- Use the oil (or, better still, softened butter) to grease a baking dish or casserole.
- Toss the fish with the salt, pepper, lemon juice, onion, paprika, and dill.
- Stir in the sour cream and just 1/4 cup fish stock.
- Place in the baking dish and bake, uncovered, until the fish flakes when probed with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
