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:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and efficiently.
  • Choose the Right Fish: When choosing a snapper for this recipe, look for one that is fresh and firm. The fish should have a mild, sweet flavor.
  • Prepare the Fish: To prepare the snapper, rinse it under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Score the skin of the fish in a crosshatch pattern to help the flavor penetrate.
  • Marinate the Fish: Marinating the snapper in a mixture of citrus juice, ginger, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roast the Fish: When roasting the snapper, make sure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature. Roast the fish until it is cooked through, but still moist. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the Fish: Serve the baked snapper immediately with your favorite sides. Some suggested sides include roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Baked snapper with citrus and ginger is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is flaky and moist, and the citrus and ginger flavors are perfectly balanced.
