BAKED SNAPPER WITH CHILIES, GINGER AND BASIL



Baked Snapper with Chilies, Ginger and Basil image

Almost any whole fish can be cooked with this method, but snapper or sea bass are particularly good with the Thai flavors. If you can find it, try fresh galangal in place of the ginger, the flavor is unique.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1 1/2 pound) whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled
½ cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 red chile peppers, sliced diagonally
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tomatoes, seeded and sliced
5 leaves basil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  • Stuff the cavity of the snapper with 1/2 cup basil leaves and set aside. Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Place the snapper in the skillet, and quickly brown on both sides, about 1 minute total. Place the fish into the roasting pan, and sprinkle with fish sauce. Reserve the peanut oil in the skillet.
  • Bake fish in preheated oven until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining peanut oil over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, ginger, chile peppers, and yellow pepper and cook until the peppers have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, rice vinegar, water, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until thickened to desired consistency. Pour the sauce over the snapper, and garnish with the remaining basil leaves to serve.

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.

Baked Snapper with Citrus and Ginger image

This is such an easy dish to cook and healthy way to eat fish. It is so versatile you can eat it during the week in front of the TV or for a dinner party!

Provided by Jase

Categories     Seafood     Fish

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 pound) whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled
3 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
3 green onions, chopped
1 tomato, seeded and diced
1 lime
⅓ cup soy sauce
1 lemon
½ teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Make three slashes across each side of the fish using a sharp knife. This will keep the fish from curling as it cooks. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Cover each side with fresh ginger, then green onions and tomatoes. Season with sea salt. Slice half of the lime and place the slices on top of the fish. Drizzle with the soy sauce, and squeeze the other half of the lime over the fish. Cut the lemon in half and set in the pan. Cover the whole dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake the fish until the flesh is opaque and can be flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the baked lemon halves over the fish before serving. Serve the fillet on the top side first, then gently lift out the backbone, while helping the flesh off the bones with your knife. It's much easier than trying to turn the fish over.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest snapper you can find. Fresh snapper will have a firm, slightly springy texture and clear, bright eyes.
  • Prepare the chipotle butter ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • If you don't have chipotle powder, you can substitute a teaspoon of smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Be careful not to overcook the snapper. Fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the snapper immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Baked snapper with chipotle butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The fish is flaky and moist, and the chipotle butter adds a delicious smoky flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
