Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Purée sage, lemon juice and fish sauce. Pour through a fine sieve and press to extract all the juice. Discard solids.

  2. Step 2

    Rinse, trim and thinly slice morels. Sauté in melted butter over medium heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add half-and-half and simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle snapper with salt and pepper and sauté, skin side down, for 1 minute, pressing down with a spatula to keep skin flat. Cook until skin is crisp, about 3 minutes. Turn over, cook 1 minute, then place in oven for 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir sage liquid into the sauce and season to taste with salt, white pepper and lemon juice. Place

  5. Step 5

    Each fillet skin side up on a plate and pour sauce around each. Garnish with sage leaves.
