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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salsa verde turned out really runny. Maybe I didn't chop the herbs finely enough.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili peppers next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I made it with some leftover grilled salmon and it was delicious.

I'm not a fan of the zaatar salsa verde. I think it overpowered the flavor of the fish.

This recipe was way too complicated for me. I ended up giving up and ordering pizza.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The fish was cooked well, but it needed more flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out dry. The salsa verde was good, though.
