Roasted Red Snapper With Thai Basil Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Season fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Place lime leaves inside the body cavity. Combine the peanut oil, garlic, ginger and basil leaves in a dish and marinate the fish for 1 to 2 hours, refrigerated, occasionally turning and basting.
• Preheat roasting pan in oven for 10 minutes before cooking snapper.
• Add the red pepper, cabbage and tofu to the pan and roast for 5 minutes.
• Place the marinated fish into the preheated roasting pan on one side on a bed of the vegetables and roast for 12 to 15 minutes before turning the fish to its other side.
• Roast for 5 minutes and pour the peanuts and coconut milk over the fish. Continue to roast for 10 minutes more before removing from the oven.
• Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• Use two spoons to remove the fish from the bones.
• Serve on a bed of rice noodles tossed with sesame oil. Spoon the tofu, red pepper, cabbage and pan juices over the fish and noodles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 450.
• Cut fish into 4 serving size portions.
• Combine undrained tomatoes, green onions, celery, lemon juice, and oregano in a large skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
• Spray a 2 quart rectangular baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place fish in baking dish, turning under any thin edges.
• Sprinkle with the pepper and coriander.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Transfer fish to individual serving plates.
• Spoon sauce over fish.
• Sprinkle feta cheese and olives over fish.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Generously season the belly and both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. Place the fish on a roasting pan. 3. Combine the canola oil with the garlic, ginger, coriander, palm sugar, chili flakes, coconut milk, juice and zest of lime in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. 4. Spoon the spice mixture over the snapper and bake for about 30-35 minutes, basting frequently. Bake the fish until a metal skewer can easily be inserted into the fish and, if left in for 5 seconds, feels warm. 5. While the fish is roasting, cook the rice. Bring the rice water, and lemongrass to a boil in a medium pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the rice from heat, cover and let sit for another 10 minutes. When the rice is cooked, remove and discard lemongrass. Add the coconut milk and cilantro. Stir to incorporate and season to taste with lime juice, salt and pepper. 6. To serve, spoon the coconut rice onto the middle of four plates. Filet the snapper; running a knife down the center of the fish andunder the fillet toseparate it from the bone. Place each serving on top of the coconut rice and spoon some of the sauce from the roasting pan over the snapper. When the top fillets have been served, lift off the fish bones and cut the bottom in the same manner. Finishthe dish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

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!
