Greek-Style Fish With Marinated Tomatoes image

This is a delicious fish recipe with distinct Greek flavor tones. If you choose snapper for this recipe, watch it carefully as it tends to cook faster than other types of fish, closer to 5 minutes or so. It's a great recipe though, and the marinated tomatoes go really well with a side of couscous or rice. Total cooking time...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c cherry tomatoes, halved (preferably sun gold variety)
1/4 c olive oil, or more as needed
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp minced hot chili pepper (such as a jalapeno), or more to taste
1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
4 clove garlic, sliced (or more, to taste)
salt
black pepper
2 to 3 lb whole fish, butterflied and boned (striped bass, rockfish, snapper, or trout are good varieties)
1 large lemon, sliced
4 to 6 sprig(s) fresh thyme

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 450°F or prepare grill; heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire.
  • 2. Combine tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, chili, oregano, and a few slices of garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl; let sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, make three or four diagonal, parallel slashes on each side of fish, just about down to the bone. Sprinkle inside of fish with a bit of salt and pepper, then stuff with remaining garlic, a layer of lemon slices and thyme sprigs. Rub outside of fish with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • 4. To roast: Put fish in roasting pan and cook for about 20 minutes (cooking time will depend on fish size). To grill: Grill until firm enough to turn, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn and cook second side for 5 to 8 minutes. Whether roasting or grilling, fish is done when exterior is crisp and a thin-bladed knife passes easily through the flesh.
  • 5. Taste tomato mixture and adjust seasoning and/or oil, if needed. Serve fish topped with tomatoes and their liquid.
