Categories     Fish     Bake

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup shelled almonds
1 bulb roasted garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves or 1/3 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 6-ounce red snapper fillets, preferably Gulf Coast, scored on the skin side

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the nuts in a large skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking or stirring occasionally, until the nuts are brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Place in a food processor and pulse until ground. Place the almonds, roasted garlic, mustard, virgin olive oil, parsley, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a bowl and mash to a paste. Place a large cast-iron skillet or other heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and when it is hot, add the olive oil. Sprinkle the snapper with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add to the pan, skin side down, and cook until skin is crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn the fillets over and spread the top with the almond mixture. Place in the oven and bake until the crust is well browned, about 6 minutes. Serve on a large platter.
