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.

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (3 to 4 pound) red snapper or 2 (1 1/2 to 2 pound), gutted, gills removed and scales left on
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil and lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the fish with olive oil and place it in an oiled oval pan, gratin dish, or sheet pan. Bake for about 15 minutes per inch of thickness at the thickest part of the fish. Check for doneness by carefully sliding a paring knife into the back at the thickest part, gently lifting the top fillet, and peeking inside to make sure the fish pulls away from the bone and the flesh is opaque (but still moist) rather than translucent and raw. Season with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon.;

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.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced

  • When preparing the red snapper, be sure to remove the scales and gills. You can also remove the fins, but this is optional.
  • If you are baking the red snapper whole, stuff the cavity with aromatics such as lemon slices, herbs, and garlic. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor.
  • To prevent the fish from drying out, baste it with olive oil or butter during cooking. You can also cover the fish with foil during baking.
  • The cooking time for red snapper will vary depending on the size and thickness of the fish. A good rule of thumb is to cook the fish for 10-12 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • To check if the red snapper is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the flesh flakes easily, the fish is cooked.

Red snapper is a delicious and versatile fish that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you are baking, frying, or grilling the fish, be sure to follow these tips to ensure the best results. With its mild flavor and flaky texture, red snapper is sure to please everyone at the table.
