Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 1 sliced onion, 1/2 cup olive oil, the vinegar, garlic, lemon slices, scallions, 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika, the cayenne, rosemary, thyme and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Set aside at room temperature, 1 hour.
- Spread the remaining 3 sliced onions in a large disposable roasting pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon paprika and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon paprika in a small bowl. Rinse the fish and pat dry. Rub all over with the olive oil-paprika mixture. Stuff the cavity super full with the marinated onion-herb mixture, adding anything that doesn't fit to the disposable pan.
- Brush the grill grates generously with vegetable oil. Sprinkle the fish on one side with 1/2 teaspoon salt; place salt-side down on the grill and cook until charred on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; gently flip and cook until the other side is charred, 4 to 5 more minutes. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet and let rest, uncovered, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer the disposable pan with the onions to the grill. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan with the onions and reduce the grill heat to medium (if using a charcoal grill, break up the coals to reduce the heat). Add the fish to the pan, belly-side down, making sure you don't spill the stuffing (use your hands to hold him together). Once he is settled, push more onions around him to prop him up. Add 3/4 cup water to the pan; place on the grill, cover and cook until the flesh is opaque, firm and slightly flaky, 20 to 25 minutes.
- To serve, use a large spoon to pull the flesh from the bones-it will fall off easily. Serve with the grilled onion mixture.
- Duff says to make sure you save the fish cheeks for your favorite friend at the table-they're sweet and tender.
VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER
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.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest fish possible: The quality of your snapper will greatly impact the final dish, so be sure to use the freshest fish you can find. Look for fish that has bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
- Grill the fish over high heat: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy, tender flesh. If you don't have a grill, you can also broil the fish in your oven.
- Be careful not to overcook the fish: Snapper is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque in the center. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
- Make sure the salsa is well-seasoned: The salsa is a key component of this dish, so be sure to season it well with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for extra flavor.
- Serve the fish immediately: Grilled snapper is best served immediately, while it's still hot and crispy. You can garnish the dish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Grilled Spanish-style snapper with tomato and green olive salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer meal. The crispy skin and juicy flesh of the snapper pair perfectly with the flavorful salsa, and the dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
