Roasted Red Snapper With Cherry Tomato Salsa Recipes

OVEN ROASTED RED SNAPPER FILLETS WITH TOMATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the tomatoes, basil, onions, and olives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Season both sides of the fillets with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Essence. Arrange the fish on the baking sheet, followed by the tomato mixture and then the lemon slices. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each fillet.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the snapper is cooked through. To serve, place a portion of Rice Pilaf on an entree plate. Use a spatula to remove the fish, along with the tomatoes, onions and lemons from the baking sheet and place over the Rice Pilaf. Drizzle with tomato water, if desired, and garnish each fillet with a chiffonade of fresh basil.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until opaque and nutty in aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and salt, stir well, and bring to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Bake until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the rice from the oven and let stand, undisturbed, for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Add just enough olive oil for flavor and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

SNAPPER WITH ROASTED GRAPE TOMATOES, GARLIC, AND BASIL

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, garlic, vinegar, pepper flakes, and salt, to taste. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast until the tomatoes get juicy, about 15 minutes. Transfer tomatoes to a bowl and toss with the basil.
• Dry the fish very well all over. To keep the fish from curling in the pan, lightly slash a cross-hatch pattern into the skin of the fish with a sharp knife. Brush the rounded flesh side of the fish with the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the fish, seasoned side down, in the oil, and cook undisturbed over high heat, until the fish turns both opaque along the edges and golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Lightly salt the skin side of the fish. Flip the snapper and turn off the heat and let the fish cook in the residual heat of the pan until the fillets are firm but still juicy, about 1 minute more.
• Divide the fish among 4 plates. Top with the tomatoes and serve.

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

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!
