Description

This stunning main course highlights the delicate sweetness of whole red snapper, which is grilled until the skin is beautifully crisp and charred. The fish is served alongside a bright, tangy vinaigrette made from roasted tomatoes and spicy jalapeños, creating a perfect balance of smoky, acidic, and fresh flavors. The simplicity of the preparation allows the high-quality seafood to shine, making it an elegant yet approachable option for summer dinners. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. This dish is ideal for impressing guests or enjoying a special weekend meal by the grill, offering a restaurant-quality experience with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Clean the whole red snapper, ensuring it is gutted and scaled, then pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Prepare a charcoal or wood grill, allowing the coals to burn down to hot embers for even, high heat.
  3. Rub the entire fish, inside and out, with olive oil to prevent sticking and aid crisping.
  4. Season the fish generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Place the fish directly on the hot grill grates perpendicular to the bars to prevent slipping.
  6. Grill for approximately 7 minutes per side, or until the skin is charred and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately, topped with the Charred Tomato Jalapeño Vinaigrette.
