  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add just enough olive oil for flavor and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER



Veracruz-Style Red Snapper image

I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.

MAYA CITRUS SALSA WITH RED SNAPPER



Maya Citrus Salsa With Red Snapper image

Xec (pronounced "shek") is a sweet, sour, juicy citrus salsa from Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, and it makes a brilliant match with almost any kind of fish, cooked almost any kind of way. The combination here - orange, grapefruit, lemon - is not traditional to Mayan cooking, nor is it a mandate. Add lime if you have it, a bitter orange if you can find it. Don't skip the minced habanero, though, which adds a bit of heat and yet more flavor. The fish starts on the stove for a few minutes, and is soon moved to the oven to finish cooking, for a total time of less than 10 minutes.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange
1 small grapefruit
1 large lemon
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 habanero or other chili, seeded and minced, or to taste
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil
4 red snapper fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each, preferably skin on (and scaled)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut orange in half horizontally and section it as you would a grapefruit; do this over a bowl to capture all its juice. Remove seeds and combine flesh and juice in bowl. Repeat with grapefruit and lemon. Stir in cilantro, habanero and salt.
  • Put oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. A minute later, add fish, skin side down; season top with salt. Cook until skin begins to crisp, 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to oven. Cook another 3 or 4 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into thickest part of fish. Serve fish with xec, immediately.

EMERIL'S WHOLE ROASTED RED SNAPPER



Emeril's Whole Roasted Red Snapper image

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2006

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (3-pound) whole red snappers, scaled and gutted
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 large tomatoes, each sliced crosswise into 4 thick slices
12 sprigs thyme, plus 2 tablespoons thyme leaves
1/4 cup julienned lemon zest (strips of zest)
1/2 cup 1/4-inch sliced garlic cloves
1 cup sliced kalamata olives
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season the snappers with the salt and pepper. Place the tomato slices on the bottom of a large roasting pan in 2 columns of 4 tomato slices. Place 6 sprigs of rosemary across the each of the 2 rows of tomatoes. Lay the fish on top of the tomato slices, and divide the thyme leaves, orange zest and garlic cloves evenly over the tops of the 2 fish. Pour the wine and lemon juice around the fish, and drizzle each fish with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place the fish in the oven and roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and add another tablespoon of the olive oil to each of the fish. Return to the oven and continue to cook until well caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the fish from the oven and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
  • Serve immediately, with the pan drippings drizzled over the top of the fish.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy skin on the red snapper, ensure that the fish is patted dry before roasting.
  • For a flavorful salsa, use ripe cherry tomatoes and fresh cilantro. If tomatoes are not in season, use a combination of diced red bell pepper and cucumber.
  • For a smoky flavor, roast the tomatoes and garlic before making the salsa.
  • If you don't have a grill pan, you can also roast the red snapper in a regular baking dish. Just be sure to increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve the roasted red snapper with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or quinoa.

Conclusion:

Roasted red snapper with cherry tomato salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The fish is flaky and moist, while the salsa is fresh and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family, and it's also easy to make. So next time you're looking for a seafood recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
