ROASTED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND OREGANO BY SCOTT CONANT RECIPE BY TASTY
One of the reasons why I chose to work with the Alzheimer's Association is because my grandmother had dementia and some of the most meaningful moments I had with her were around the table, sharing a meal. So, I wanted to create a recipe that's fun, easy, full of flavor, and, most importantly, can be enjoyed together with friends and loved ones. Words alone can't convey how magnificent, how beautifully ceremonial a whole fish looks when presented at the table. I'm always excited when I and a few friends settle in to devour one. (And devour we do, you should see how little is left when we're through with it.) Aside from being so good-looking, a whole fish also offers much more flavor because the head and the bones add depth to the accompanying sauce. A completely gratifying dish!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- If the fins are still on the fish, use kitchen scissors to cut them off (they just fall apart when cooked). Season both the inside and outside of the fish liberally with 2 teaspoons of salt. Stuff the cavity with the lemon slices, oregano sprigs, and whole basil leaves.
- Using a very large 14 inch (35 cm) sauté pan or a small roasting pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the fish and cook until well browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Drizzle with another tablespoon of olive oil and season with remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
- Using paper towels, wipe the excess oil out of the pan. Drizzle the fish with another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes and cook until the tomatoes begin to release some of their liquid, about 3 minutes. Stir in the potatoes.
- Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half over the fish and pour in the chicken broth. Carefully flip the fish over and baste with the sauce.
- Transfer the fish to the oven and cook for 18-19 minutes. To check for doneness, push the head down gently in the area between the nose and the top of the head; when the head easily moves away from the back of the neck, the fish is ready.
- Carefully transfer the fish to a rimmed serving platter, pouring any liquid from the cavity back into the pan. Cover the fish with foil to keep warm.
- Return the pan to the stove over medium heat. Cook the sauce and vegetables for 1-2 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, chopped oregano, and chopped basil and season with salt to taste.
- Pour the sauce and vegetables over the fish and serve, using a large spoon to remove the flesh from the fish. (Don't forget to turn it over to eat off the other side!)
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the freshest red snapper you can find. Look for fish with bright red eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
- Roast the fennel and breadcrumbs separately before adding them to the fish. This will help them to develop their full flavor and texture.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If the fish is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
- Roast the fish until it is cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flaky.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice are all good options.
Conclusion:
Red snapper roasted with fennel and breadcrumbs is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The fish is succulent and flavorful, and the fennel and breadcrumbs add a nice crunch and brightness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
