Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola or corn oil
1 white onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 bay leaves
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups peeled whole tomatoes (can use 16 ounces canned tomatoes)
1 cup fish stock
1/4 cup capers
1/4 cup sliced pitted green olives
1 (3 pound) whole red snapper, scaled and gutted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a saucepot, add the oil, and start to cook the onions, garlic, bay leaves, and jalapeno. Cook for 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Then deglaze with the white wine. Add the tomatoes and fish stock, and cook for 15 minutes. Add the capers and olives cook for 5 minutes more.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Season the fish with salt and pepper. Put the red snapper in a roasting dish that holds it comfortably. Spoon the tomato sauce over the fish, and roast until the fish is cooked but moist, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve the fish garnished with parsley and lime wedges.

I'm not a fan of olives, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I used some tilapia that I had in the fridge, and it turned out great.
