Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed, divided
1 1/2 to 2 pounds whole Thai snapper, cleaned, head and tail intact
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon tomato bouillon
1 teaspoon bottled hot sauce (recommended: Huichol)
2 limes, halved, plus additional for serving
1 orange
6 (6-inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Butterfly the fish by cutting almost in half horizontally and opening like a book. Carefully cut and remove the spine. Place the fish, skin-side down, on the foil. Roll up the edges of the foil to come close to the edge of the fish to prevent the juices from spilling onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the fish with the garlic powder and then with the tomato bouillon. Drizzle the fish with the hot sauce and then squeeze the limes over. Cut and squeeze the orange juice all over the fish. Then, using the flesh side of the orange, brush the fish all over to form a wet paste on top of the fish. Dot the fish with the remaining butter.
  • Bake the fish until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with warm tortillas to make tacos and lime wedges for squeezing over the fish.

ROASTED WHOLE SNAPPER

Roasting is an excellent low-fat cooking technique because very little fat is necessary to carry the flavor of the food. High heat concentrates and seals in food's natural flavor, two jobs that only a few other techniques can do without the help of butter, oil, or other fatty transporters of flavor. A hot oven and a good heavy-bottomed roasting pan or skillet are essential. Before serving, set the snapper on a bed of small white onions, and add the dill and parsley too.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 sprigs of fresh dill
3 sprigs of fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Time 31m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 yellow tail snapper (1.5 pounds)
1/2-ounce shredded fennel
Salt
Fine ground black pepper
Canola oil
1 1/2 ounces bias cut fingerling potatoes
1-ounce baby carrots
1-ounce bias cut fennel
1-ounce bias cut celery
2 baby artichokes
4 stalks asparagus
1-ounce large diced red onions
2 ounces rich veal glaze
1/2-ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice
Chives
Parsley

Steps:

  • Begin with the yellow tail snapper; take all the bones out inside leaving the head and the tail. Then slit down the center of the fish with a sharp knife. And then inside, put shredded fennel, salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil and sear the snapper. Precook the vegetables. While the fish is searing, add an array of vegetables, the veal glaze and lemon juice. Sear one side, then flip the fish to the other side. Then take the whole pan into a preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. It should come out nice and brown. Garnish with chives and parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest fish possible. A good quality fish will have bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm body.
  • Prepare the fish properly. This means scaling, gutting, and cleaning the fish. If you are unsure how to do this, ask your fishmonger for help.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to infuse the fish with flavor and moisture. Be sure to let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roast the fish at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin and a tender, flaky interior.
  • Serve the fish with a variety of dipping sauces. This will allow your guests to choose their own favorite flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted sarandeado-style whole snapper is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The fish is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and herbs, then roasted until it is crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. Serve the fish with a variety of dipping sauces for a truly memorable meal.
