MOIST ROASTED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND OREGANO



Moist Roasted Whole Red Snapper with Tomatoes, Basil and Oregano image

Provided by Scott Conant

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 2 1/2- to 3-pound whole (head on) red snapper, scaled and cleaned
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes
10 whole fresh basil leaves, plus 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
5 small sprigs fresh oregano, plus 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lemon, half sliced and half left whole
4 to 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (about 8 ounces), cut in half
6 to 8 fingerling potatoes (about 10 ounces), cut into a 3/4-inch dice and blanched
1 cup homemade or low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Stuff and cook the snapper: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. If the fins are still on the fish, use kitchen scissors to cut them off (they just fall apart when cooked). Sprinkle both the inside and the outside of the fish liberally with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, whole basil leaves, oregano sprigs, garlic and lemon slices.
  • Using a very large (14-inch) saute pan or a small roasting pan (oven safe) heat about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat until smoking. Add the fish and cook until well browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fish over-use a large spatula and grab the tail if it's not too hot-and cook on the other side until well browned, about 2 minutes. Take the fish out of the pan and use wadded paper towels to wipe the pan clean of the oil.
  • Cook the vegetables: Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, a pinch of red pepper flakes, the tomatoes, potatoes, chopped oregano and a pinch of salt and cook until the tomatoes begin to lose some of their liquid, about 3 minutes. Return the fish to the pan, laying it on top of the vegetables and drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil over it. Add the chicken broth to the pan and squeeze the remaining lemon half into the sauce in the pan. Cook on the stove another 3 to 4 minutes, basting the fish with the sauce and moving some of the tomatoes and potatoes in the pan on top of the fish.
  • Finish cooking the fish in the oven safe pan in the oven 18 to 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, it is ready.)
  • To serve: Remove the fish from the oven and carefully transfer it to a sided platter, pouring any liquid in its cavity back into the pan, and keep the fish warm. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat and cook the sauce and vegetables for a minute or two to concentrate the flavors. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, the chopped basil and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Pour the sauce and vegetables over the fish and serve, using a large spoon to remove servings off the fish. (Don't forget to turn it over to eat off the other side!)

MAYA CITRUS SALSA WITH RED SNAPPER



Maya Citrus Salsa With Red Snapper image

Xec (pronounced "shek") is a sweet, sour, juicy citrus salsa from Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, and it makes a brilliant match with almost any kind of fish, cooked almost any kind of way. The combination here - orange, grapefruit, lemon - is not traditional to Mayan cooking, nor is it a mandate. Add lime if you have it, a bitter orange if you can find it. Don't skip the minced habanero, though, which adds a bit of heat and yet more flavor. The fish starts on the stove for a few minutes, and is soon moved to the oven to finish cooking, for a total time of less than 10 minutes.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 orange
1 small grapefruit
1 large lemon
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 habanero or other chili, seeded and minced, or to taste
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil
4 red snapper fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each, preferably skin on (and scaled)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut orange in half horizontally and section it as you would a grapefruit; do this over a bowl to capture all its juice. Remove seeds and combine flesh and juice in bowl. Repeat with grapefruit and lemon. Stir in cilantro, habanero and salt.
  • Put oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. A minute later, add fish, skin side down; season top with salt. Cook until skin begins to crisp, 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to oven. Cook another 3 or 4 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into thickest part of fish. Serve fish with xec, immediately.

VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER



Veracruz-Style Red Snapper image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced

ROASTED WHOLE RED SNAPPER WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND OREGANO BY SCOTT CONANT RECIPE BY TASTY



Roasted Whole Red Snapper With Tomatoes, Basil, And Oregano by Scott Conant Recipe by Tasty image

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!

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Dinner

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lb head-on red snapper, scaled and cleaned
2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus additional to taste
1 lemon, half sliced, divided
5 small sprigs fresh oregano, plus ½ tablespoon chopped leaves, divided
10 fresh basil leaves, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves, divided
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ½ cups cherry tomato, halved
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 fingerling potatoes, diced and blanched
1 cup homemade chicken broth, or low-sodium chicken broth

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:

  • Use the freshest red snapper you can find. Fresh fish will have a mild, sweet flavor and firm flesh.
  • If you can't find red snapper, you can substitute another firm-fleshed fish, such as grouper, halibut, or sea bass.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Red snapper is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
  • The tomato-citrus topping is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the fish. You can use any type of tomatoes you like, but Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are firm and have a low water content.
  • If you don't have any fresh citrus fruits, you can use bottled lemon or lime juice.
  • Serve the red snapper with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Red snapper with tomato-citrus topping is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the topping is flavorful and refreshing. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
