GREEK SNAPPER ON THE GRILL



Greek Snapper on the Grill image

I cannot recall where I found this recipe but it is a simple and easy way to prepare this variety of fish. Offer Greek Snapper on the Grill with Red or Spanish rice and maybe some young sweet peas. Serve the tartar sauce in a hollowed out lemon half for a nice special presentation touch. This could easily serve 3 or 4 depending on one's appetite.

GRILLED RED SNAPPER



Grilled Red Snapper image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (2-pound) red snapper, scaled and gutted
Juice of 2 lemons
12 sprigs oregano, leaves picked and chopped
3/4 cup olive oil
Salt
20 grape leaves
1 cup shellfish stock
1 clove garlic, minced
1 egg

Steps:

  • Use a paring knife to cut four slits into both sides of each snapper, cutting through the skin and flesh. Whisk half of the lemon juice in a bowl with the oregano and half of the olive oil. Salt each fish liberally and put in a nonreactive container. Put the fish in a dish and pour the lemon mixture over them. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, turning the fish after 30 minutes to take in the marinade.
  • Lay out five grape leaves on the counter, making sure to overlap them to create a sheet that is as wide as the fish is long, and long enough to wrap around the snapper 1 1/2 times. Wrap one of the fish in the leaves. Repeat with the remaining grape leaves and snapper. Brush with the remaining olive oil and set aside.
  • Heat a grill to medium-high. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the stock, garlic, and remaining lemon juice. Bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg. Return the pan to the stovetop over low heat and, stirring constantly, cook until the sauce thickens (make sure it does not get too hot or the eggs will scramble). Set it in a warm spot on the stove.
  • Grill the fish for 4 minutes per side, making sure not to burn the grape leaves.
  • To serve, set one whole wrapped fish on a serving plate and top with the sauce.

  • Prepare the fish properly: Before cooking, clean the fish thoroughly and remove any scales or guts. You can also score the fish's skin to help the marinade penetrate.

  • Grill the fish over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from drying out. Cook the fish for about 10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the fish with a simple garnish: A squeeze of lemon, a few sprigs of fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil can all help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
