Servings: 4
Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) red snapper fillets
essence, recipe follows
1/4 cup dijon mustard
2 large white potatoes, peeled, cut crosswise
salt and white pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Directions:
1. Season each fillet with Essence. Lightly brush each fillet with the Dijon mustard. Pass each halved potato through the potato threader or grate potatoes using a box grater. Place the threaded potatoes in a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. Divide the threaded potatoes into 4 portions. Wrap each fillet with each individual portion of the threaded potatoes. Wrap the fish like a package. Wrap crosswise first and then lengthwise. Wrap the crusted fish tightly in a cloth napkin. This will secure the potato to the fish. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the fish with Essence.

3. Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
4. Yield: about 2/3 cup
