Wasabi Crusted Snapper over Citrus Veggie Noodles with Wasabi Sauce

On Sundays I usually go up to the store and look for the freshest seafood I can find or we end up with steak, which certainly isn't like settling, but yesterday I lucked out on gorgeous fresh snapper.  I didn't know what I was going to do with it, but lately I have been seriously craving wasabi...and so this was born!



What you need...
Fresh Wild Snapper
1/4 cup panko
2 tablespoons parmesan
1 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon tamari
1 tsp wasabi powder

3 zucchinis, spiralized
1 cup carrot stix
1/2 orange
olive oil

alfafa sprouts

2 tablespoons mayonaise
1 tsp wasabi paste
juice of a lime
zest of 1 lime
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Cover a baking sheet in foil and lightly grease, set aside.  Add the panko and parmesan to a plate, mix and spread it out for easy dredging.   Set aside.  To a small bowl, add vinegar, water, tamari and wasabi paste, stir to combine completely.  Set aside.  Rinse fish in cool water and pat dry.  Place the fish on the foil lined baking sheet and pour wasabi mix down center of fish.  Using your hands spread the mixture out rubbing it into the fish.  Gently dredge the fish in the panko mixture, pressing in down to get the panko to stick well to the fish.  Place the fish on the foil lined pan.  Place the fish into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until fish is white and flaky in the center.

Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a sauté pan.  Heat to medium/high heat and add zucchini & carrot noodles.  Sauté 2-3 minutes, add the juice of 1/2 orange and gently toss.  Remove from heat and dish noodles on the serving plates.

In a small bowl, mix mayo, wasabi paste, lime juice and ginger.  Set aside.

When fish is flaky, add a portion of fish to the noodles, top with small handful of alfalfa sprouts and half of wasabi sauce.  Top with lime zest.  Serve.

It sort of seems like a lot of steps, but they are all quick and easy....and SOOOOOOOO worth it! Cheers!
