RED SNAPPER WITH GARLIC-LEMON-DILL BUTTER



Red Snapper with Garlic-Lemon-Dill Butter image

Robust ocean fish seeks tangy, buttery garnish for epicurean adventure. This garnish works well on most types of fish, but it was hatched using red snapper because I had a lemon and a single sprig of dill that needed to be used and the red snapper was the best looking fresh fish in the case. I've done Alaskan sockeye salmon the same way to good effect. Pairs well with pasta or rice, shown with my go-to Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce from this site, and fresh vegetables.

Categories     Fish     Roast     Snapper     Fennel     Healthy     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 fresh fennel bulbs, trimmed, chopped
6 large shallots or green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 cups fresh French breadcrumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 3 1/2-to 4-pound headless red snapper
1/4 cup dry white wine
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Transfer 1 cup fennel mixture to large bowl. Add breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup olive oil to 1 cup fennel mixture in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover fennel mixture and breadcrumb mixture separately and refrigerate.)

Spread generous amount of oil over inside and outside of fish. Season inside and outside with salt and pepper. Set fish atop fennel mixture in dish. Spread remaining fennel mixture inside fish. Spread breadcrumb mixture over top of fish, pressing to adhere.
  • Bake fish until just opaque in center, about 45 minutes. Serve with fennel.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest red snapper possible: Look for fish that has bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
  • Score the fish before cooking: This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from curling up.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid will infuse the fish with flavor, so choose something that you enjoy the taste of. A good option is a combination of white wine, fish stock, and herbs.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Red snapper is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is opaque throughout. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish with a variety of accompaniments: Roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes are all good options. You can also serve the fish with a simple green salad or a tangy sauce.
