1/4 cup good-quality extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup chiffonade fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish, if desired
1/2 cup julienned sweet onions
1/4 cup pitted and sliced kalamata olives
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 (4 to 6-ounce) skin-on red snapper fillets
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 oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup chopped yellow onions
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 3/4 cups canned low-sodium chicken broth, or chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions, optional
1 large heirloom tomato, roughly chopped
Few sprigs fresh parsley
Few sprigs fresh basil
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the tomatoes, basil, onions, and olives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Season both sides of the fillets with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Essence. Arrange the fish on the baking sheet, followed by the tomato mixture and then the lemon slices. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each fillet.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the snapper is cooked through. To serve, place a portion of Rice Pilaf on an entree plate. Use a spatula to remove the fish, along with the tomatoes, onions and lemons from the baking sheet and place over the Rice Pilaf. Drizzle with tomato water, if desired, and garnish each fillet with a chiffonade of fresh basil.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  • Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William and Morrow, 1993.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until opaque and nutty in aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and salt, stir well, and bring to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the rice from the oven and let stand, undisturbed, for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add just enough olive oil for flavor and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Baked Snapper with Citrus and Ginger image

This is such an easy dish to cook and healthy way to eat fish. It is so versatile you can eat it during the week in front of the TV or for a dinner party!

Provided by Jase

Categories     Seafood     Fish

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 pound) whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled
3 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
3 green onions, chopped
1 tomato, seeded and diced
1 lime
⅓ cup soy sauce
1 lemon
½ teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Make three slashes across each side of the fish using a sharp knife. This will keep the fish from curling as it cooks. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Cover each side with fresh ginger, then green onions and tomatoes. Season with sea salt. Slice half of the lime and place the slices on top of the fish. Drizzle with the soy sauce, and squeeze the other half of the lime over the fish. Cut the lemon in half and set in the pan. Cover the whole dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the fish until the flesh is opaque and can be flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the baked lemon halves over the fish before serving. Serve the fillet on the top side first, then gently lift out the backbone, while helping the flesh off the bones with your knife. It's much easier than trying to turn the fish over.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest snapper fillets possible. Look for fillets that are firm and have a slight bounce to them. Avoid fillets that are discolored or have a slimy texture.
  • Season the fillets liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Use a light touch when handling the fillets. Snapper is a delicate fish, so it's important to be gentle when cooking it.
  • Cook the fillets until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Serve the fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Snapper is a versatile fish that pairs well with a variety of dishes.

Conclusion:

Baked snapper fillet is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its delicate flavor and flaky texture, snapper is a seafood lover's dream. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, baked snapper fillet is sure to please everyone at the table.
