Red Snapper With Sherry Beurre Blanc

[Jonathan Edwards wrote of Sarah], “They say there is a young lady in (New Haven) who is loved of that Great Being, who made and rules the world, and that there are certain seasons in which this Great Being, in some way or other invisible, comes to her and fills her mind with exceeding sweet delight; and she hardly cares for anything, except to meditate on him… she has a strange sweetness in her mind, and singular purity in their affection… you could not persuade her to do anything wrong or sinful... She is of a wonderful sweetness, calmness and universal benevolence of mind…. She will sometimes go about from place to place, singing sweetly; and seems to be always full of joy and pleasure; and no one knows for what. She loves to be alone, walking in the fields and groves, and seems to have some one invisible always conversing with her.”

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small saucepan cook the Sherry, the shallot, the white wine, the
vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste over moderately high heat until
the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, remove the pan from the
heat, and whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, adding each new
piece before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce  should
not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of  thin
hollandaise.)  On a foil-covered broiler pan broil the fillets under a
preheated  broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or
until  they just flake, divide them between 2 plates, and spoon the
sauce  over them.  Serves 2.  Gourmet February 1993  Converted by
