Recipe: Festive Red Snapper with Caramelized Almond Glaze and Fresh Mango

FESTIVE RED SNAPPER WITH CARAMELIZED ALMOND GLAZE AND FRESH MANGO
"A bit of sweetness and spice nicely compliments red snapper!"



FOR THE FISH:
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 fillets red snapper
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons Mazola Pure Olive Oil

FOR THE CARAMELIZED ALMOND GLAZE:
1/3 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Nutmeg

FOR THE MANGO MIXTURE:
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup chopped fresh mango
1/8 teaspoon Spice Islands Chipotle Chile Powder

TO PREPARE THE FISH:
Combine flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger and salt in a shallow bowl. Dredge all sides of snapper fillets in flour mixture.

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add fillets and pan fry until fish flakes with a fork, turning once. Transfer fish to a plate; cover to keep warm.

TO PREPARE THE CARAMELIZED ALMOND GLAZE:
Reduce heat to medium-low and add almonds; cook about 5 minutes, until almonds caramelize (nuts will be lightly browned). Stir in lime juice, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg and continue cooking about 3 to 5 minutes to reduce to a syrup consistency.

TO PREPARE THE MANGO MIXTURE:
Combine cilantro and mango in a small bowl; sprinkle with chipotle.

TO SERVE:
Top each fillet with an equal amount of Caramelized Almond Glaze and mango mixture.
