Technique to learn

Crispy Skin Pan-Searing

Pressing dry skin-on fish into hot oil to flatten skin instantly and cook evenly without curling.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the relish by combining green tomatoes, peaches, red onion, apple vinegar, honey, and half the sea salt in a bowl; toss well and let rest for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Pat snapper fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with old bay seasoning and remaining sea salt.

Step 3: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 4: Lay snapper fillets in the pan skin side down and press lightly with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure full pan contact.

Step 5: Sear skin side down for 4 minutes until golden and crisp.

Step 6: Carefully flip fillets and sear for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7: Spoon generous helpings of peach green tomato relish over warm fish fillets to serve.

Cooking tips

Drying fish skin thoroughly with paper towels guarantees a crispy sear.
Green tomatoes provide essential acidity and crunch that balances sweet ripe peaches.
