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.

Tips:

  • Scale and gut the red snapper before cooking. This will help to remove any impurities from the fish and make it easier to eat.
  • Marinate the red snapper in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices before grilling. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the fish.
  • Grill the red snapper over a medium-high heat for about 10 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the red snapper with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
