Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons pine nuts
4 (6-ounce) skin-on, boneless red snapper fillets, patted dry
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
4 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
1 1/2 teaspoons za'atar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled banana peppers

Steps:

  • Toast pine nuts in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing often, until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Heat broiler. Season flesh side of snapper fillets with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with coriander. Drizzle 2 Tbsp. oil onto a small rimmed baking sheet and place fish, flesh side down, on top. Drizzle skin side with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil until skin is crisp and browned and flesh is cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Remove fish from broiler and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together cilantro, parsley, garlic, za'atar, red pepper flakes, and remaining ½ cup oil in a small bowl; season salsa verde with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer fish to a platter, placing skin side up. Stir lemon juice, banana peppers, and pine nuts into salsa verde and spoon over fish.

Categories     main-dish

Time 33m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (8-ounce) red snapper fillets
2 limes, juiced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups tropical fruit salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill.
  • Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish and reserve. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, ginger, pepper, and olive oil. Pour the mixture over the fish and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat until the flesh is cooked through and opaque, about 4 minutes per side, depending on the size of the fish. Top with tropical fruit salsa and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh red snapper fillets. If you can't find red snapper, you can substitute another firm-fleshed white fish, such as halibut or cod.
  • To make the zaatar salsa verde, you can use store-bought zaatar or make your own. To make your own zaatar, combine equal parts dried thyme, oregano, marjoram, and sumac in a bowl. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or coriander, to taste.
  • Be careful not to overcook the red snapper. The fish should be cooked through, but it should still be moist and flaky.
  • Serve the red snapper immediately with the zaatar salsa verde. You can also garnish the fish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

This broiled red snapper with zaatar salsa verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the salsa verde adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
