Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

For fish
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of it softened
20 Turkish bay leaves
2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
1 (4-lb) whole bluefish, cleaned, with head and tail intact
1/2 lb whole almonds (1 1/2 cups), toasted and coarsely chopped
1 lemon, thinly sliced
For sauce
1 cup white-wine vinegar
2 Turkish bay leaves
6 whole black peppercorns, slightly crushed
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Special Equipment
a large (17- by 14- by 3-inch) nonreactive roasting pan

Steps:

  • Rub softened butter over bottom of roasting pan and sprinkle with 12 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and 1 tablespoon sea salt.
  • Rinse fish and pat dry, then arrange diagonally in roasting pan. If fish is more than 18 inches long, tail will curl up side of pan (wrap tail in foil to prevent burning).
  • Stir together almonds, 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Stuff fish with lemon slices, almond mixture, and 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces. (Some nuts may spill out.) Sprinkle fish with remaining 8 bay leaves, 2 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds, and 2 teaspoons sea salt. Dot fish with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and place fish in cold oven. Set oven temperature to 500°F. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. (Cut into fish along backbone with a small knife to check doneness; fish should have turned from translucent to opaque.)
  • Transfer fish to a large platter using 2 wide metal spatulas. Reserve any pan juices.
  • Boil all sauce ingredients in a small nonreactive saucepan 1 minute. Stir in reserved pan juices and pour sauce over fish. Discard bay leaves.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fish turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder vinegar.

I substituted the coriander with parsley and it was still delicious. This recipe is very versatile.

I'm not a big fan of vinegar, but this sauce was surprisingly good. It had a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.

This recipe is a keeper! The fish was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was so good I could have eaten it with a spoon.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish turned out a bit dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.
