Categories     Fish     Bake

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup shelled almonds
1 bulb roasted garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves or 1/3 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 6-ounce red snapper fillets, preferably Gulf Coast, scored on the skin side

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the nuts in a large skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking or stirring occasionally, until the nuts are brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Place in a food processor and pulse until ground. Place the almonds, roasted garlic, mustard, virgin olive oil, parsley, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a bowl and mash to a paste. Place a large cast-iron skillet or other heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and when it is hot, add the olive oil. Sprinkle the snapper with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add to the pan, skin side down, and cook until skin is crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn the fillets over and spread the top with the almond mixture. Place in the oven and bake until the crust is well browned, about 6 minutes. Serve on a large platter.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I really enjoyed this almond-crusted snapper. The almond crust was crispy and flavorful, and the fish was cooked perfectly. The almond-herb butter sauce was also a great addition.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The almond crust was a bit too thick and the fish was a little dry.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish turned out dry and overcooked. I don't recommend this recipe.

This was a delicious and easy recipe! I used tilapia instead of snapper and it turned out great. The almond-herb butter sauce was amazing.

Not a fan. The almond crust was too thick and overpowering, and the fish was dry. I won't be making this again.
