RED SNAPPER EN PAPILLOTE WITH CILANTRO-LIME VINAIGRETTE

So many of us were warned as children that fish bones could kill you. Yet what a memorable, if not altogether safe, impression an entire fish makes at the table before being skillfully boned. Slipping citrus into the cavity and wrapping the fish in parchment before roasting ensures that its delicate flesh attains a level of succulence and gently infused flavor that it simply cannot achieve any other way.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole (2 pounds) red snapper (or substitute black bass or branzino), scaled and cleaned
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 lime, cut into thin rounds
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeno chile
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Make the snapper: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place fish on one side of a 12-by-16-inch piece of parchment. Season cavity with salt and pepper, and arrange lime and 1/2 the garlic. Season outside of fish with salt and pepper. Sprinkle remaining garlic on fish, and drizzle with oil and lime juice.
  • Fold parchment over fish, and seal by making small, tight overlapping folds along edges and ends. Transfer to a baking sheet, and roast until packet puffs and turns light golden, about 20 minutes. Open fish packet carefully. Fish should be opaque in center; if it is not cooked through, reseal parchment and continue roasting.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Puree all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
  • Transfer fish to cutting board discarding parchment. Debone if desired, and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately with vinaigrette on the side.

Sprinkle each serving with a tablespoon of caper mixture, and season with salt. Place a snapper fillet on each bed of fennel; season with salt, and top each packet with remaining caper mixture and 2 lemon slices. Fold parchment over the ingredients, making small overlapping folds along the edge to seal.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 whole baby red snappers, 8 to 12 ounces each, cleaned and scaled
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
24 small sprigs fresh tarragon or basil
1 carrot, cut into thin julienne strips
1 small leek, thoroughly washed, cut into thin julienne strips
1 small turnip, cut into thin julienne strips
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemons, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • On the thickest part of each side of the snappers, cut a 1/2-inch-thick incision along its length. Season the snappers inside and out with salt and pepper and tuck 3 tarragon sprigs inside each fish's body cavity.
  • Cut 6 pieces of aluminum foil, each large enough to completely enclose each fish. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Arrange half of the julienned vegetables in beds in the center of each piece of foil and place a fish on top. Drizzle the fish generously with olive oil. Arrange the remaining vegetables on top, then cover with lemon slices and the remaining herbs.
  • Close the foil around each fish, double pleating the edges together to form airtight packages. Place the packages on a baking sheet and bake them until they have puffed up like balloons, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve each foil package on a dinner plate. Let each guest carefully open the package to eat the fish, easing the fillets off the bone along the top incision and then pulling out the spine and ribs in a single piece.

RED SNAPPER EN PAPILLOTE

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 25m

Yield 1 fish

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 tablespoon olive oil (or more)
1 fish fillet

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF. Using parchment papers as needed (1 fish fillet = 1 paper/2 fish fillet = 2 papers) cut into 24-inch long, fold in half and crease firmly. Cut into a heart shaped pattern finishing with a pointy end; oil both sides of papers.
  • Place fillets on one side of the center crease; add vegetables of your choice as well as seasonings. I like to use about 1 tablespoons of white wine. Just keep in mind about certain vegetables that take more than 15 minutes to cook i.e. potatoes. In that case, precook or blanch them depending of the kind you choose.
  • Fold one side over fish/vegetables and starting from the round, crimp paper tightly to about ½ to 1-inch long. When arriving to pointy end, fold it underneath. Place pouched on a baking sheet and transfer to preheated oven; bake for 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure your red snapper is cooked evenly, use a sharp knife to score the fish several times before cooking.
  • If you don't have parchment paper, you can use aluminum foil instead. Just be sure to grease the foil lightly with cooking spray to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • To make sure the fish is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • For a more flavorful dish, try using a variety of herbs and spices in your cilantro-lime vinaigrette. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, and cumin.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the step of marinating the fish. However, marinating the fish for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with flavor.

Conclusion:

Red snapper en papillote with cilantro-lime vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood recipe, give this one a try!
