Steamed Red Snapper With B and B

Submitted by Mami J

"A recipe from New York's Le Perigord restaurant in New York City. It uses Benedictine and Brandy liqueur, which Food does not recognize, so I listed brandy instead. Taken from a Benedictine liqueur recipe cookbook."

• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup brandy (Benedictine and Brandy liqueur)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 red snapper fillets

• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 lb spinach leaves, rinsed and trimmed

directions

1. Fill fish poacher or steamer half full with cold water. Add brandy (B and B) and two tablespoons butter.
