Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons pine nuts
4 (6-ounce) skin-on, boneless red snapper fillets, patted dry
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
4 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
1 1/2 teaspoons za'atar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled banana peppers

Steps:

  • Toast pine nuts in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing often, until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Heat broiler. Season flesh side of snapper fillets with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with coriander. Drizzle 2 Tbsp. oil onto a small rimmed baking sheet and place fish, flesh side down, on top. Drizzle skin side with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil until skin is crisp and browned and flesh is cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Remove fish from broiler and let rest 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together cilantro, parsley, garlic, za'atar, red pepper flakes, and remaining ½ cup oil in a small bowl; season salsa verde with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer fish to a platter, placing skin side up. Stir lemon juice, banana peppers, and pine nuts into salsa verde and spoon over fish.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to substitute the pine nuts in the salsa verde with sunflower seeds. It turned out great!

I wasn't a big fan of the zaatar salsa verde. I thought it was a bit too tangy for my taste.

The fish was a little dry, but the salsa verde helped to balance it out.

This broiled red snapper recipe was an absolute delight! The fish was flaky and moist, and the zaatar salsa verde was the perfect complement. It added a wonderful depth of flavor and freshness.
