Ingredients

2 (7-ounce) portions yellowtail snapper fillets, rinsed

Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons dry white wine

Passion Fruit Beurre Blanc, recipe follows

2 teaspoons toasted sweetened coconut

6 slices mango

Passion Fruit Beurre Blanc:

1 small shallot, minced

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 cup dry white wine

4 passion fruit (or 1/2 cup passion fruit juice)

1/4 cup softened unsalted butter

Pinch salt and freshly ground white pepper

Directions

  1. Season the yellowtail fillets with salt and pepper, then dust 1 side only with flour, shaking off any excess. In a medium-sized saute pan, heat the olive oil until just nearly smoking and add the yellowtail, flour side down. Sear the fish until golden brown, then flip over and continue cooking 1 minute. Add the white wine and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat. Serve fillets in a pool of Passion Fruit Beurre Blanc. Garnish the top of each fillet with 1 teaspoon of toasted coconut and 3 slices of mango.

Passion Fruit Beurre Blanc:

  1. In a small saucepan, saute the shallot in olive oil until slightly browned. Add the white wine and passion fruit. Over medium heat, reduce by 3/4. The liquid in the pan will begin to look thick and bubbly. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk in the butter a little bit at a time, making sure all butter is whisked in before adding more. Season with salt and white pepper, to taste, then drain through a sieve and reserve the liquid in a warm part of the kitchen until needed.

I made this with yellowfin tuna instead since it's what I had on hand. I didn't have any coconut so I left that out. Also just used white onion instead of shallots and I used half as much butter as the recipe called for to reduce the calories. I served the fish with green beans and jasmine rice. The rice soaked up the beurre blanc and tasted fantastic.
