Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Olive oil, for brushing baking sheet
1 (2-pound) whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled
1 (3-inch) sprig fresh rosemary
1 (3-inch) sprig fresh thyme
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 dried bay leaves
2 1/2 pounds Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil and lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet large enough to hold the snapper.
  • Rinse the snapper thoroughly, inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the cavity with the rosemary, thyme, coriander seeds, and bay leaves.
  • On the baking sheet, spread about 1/2 pound of the salt in an even layer that is slightly longer and wider than the snapper. Place the fish on the salt layer and cover completely with the remaining salt.
  • Bake until a instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the fish reads 130/, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven. Brush away as much salt as possible. Using two dessert spoons, remove the top fillets and transfer to a warm plate. Lift off the bones, then transfer the bottom fillets to another plate. Serve immediately, with the extra-virgin olive oil and lemon wedges passed on the side so each diner can season their fish as desired.

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 egg whites
2 cups sea salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley, divided
1/2 cup water
1 (2 1/2-pound) fresh whole white fish, such as striped bass
2 tablespoons julienned sun-dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped kalamata olives
2 tablespoons chopped artichoke hearts
2 slices lemon, sliced in half, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, trimmed to extend 3-inches in diameter around outside of the fish.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites, sea salt, flour, 2 tablespoons of the parsley and 1/2 cup of water. Mix with your hands until a thick paste forms.
  • Fill the cavity of the fish with the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts and lemon slices. Rub the exterior of the fish with the garlic, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley and freshly ground black pepper
  • Put the fish on the parchment lined baking sheet. Mound the salt paste evenly over the entire fish. Press the mixture firmly down to the baking sheet, being careful to seal any cracks.
  • Bake the fish until the crust is golden brown and very firm, about 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Slide the parchment and fish onto serving platter or cutting board and crack the crust with a handle of a large knife. Slide a spoon under the top fillet, over the spine, and lift it to a serving platter. Turn over and repeat. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons, 1 zested and juiced and 1 sliced into thin rounds
1 bunch fresh thyme, half picked and half left whole
4 fresh bay leaves, coarsely snipped using scissors
3 cloves garlic, smashed
9 egg whites
8 cups kosher salt
Two 1-pound whole fish, such as branzino or orate, fins and gills removed
High-quality olive oil, for finishing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, combine the lemon zest and juice, the picked thyme, bay leaves and garlic and pulse until it becomes a coarse paste. Add the egg whites and puree until very frothy and foamy.
  • In a large bowl combine the herb-egg white mixture with the salt and mix until it becomes a moist paste.
  • Place half of the lemon slices and whole thyme in the cavity of each of the fish. On a baking sheet, place a little less than half of the salt mixture in two rows. Lay the fish on top of each row. Pack the remaining salt mixture around the fish to completely encase them, pressing the mixture firmly on the fish to create a crust.
  • Roast the fish for 25 minutes. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Crack open the salt crust and brush the excess salt from the fish. Remove the top fillet, pull the spine out and remove the bottom fillet. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

WHOLE SALT-BAKED FISH



Whole Salt-Baked Fish image

Even though you're baking a whole fish in a mound of salt, it won't come out salty -- the salt just seals in the juices. It's a very forgiving way of cooking fish. And though it might look complicated, it's not. I use redfish, but any white-fleshed mild fish will work. And if you've got a bigass pan, you can do this with a much larger fish, or a couple of them. You're really only limited by the size of the pan.

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (2 1/2-pound) whole fish, gutted, scaled, and fins removed -- but leave the head and tail
1 lemon, cut into 6 round slices
4 large sprigs fresh thyme
4 bay leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (3-pound) box kosher salt
4 large egg whites
2 tablespoons lemon juice plus zest of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Stuff the cavity of the fish with lemon slices, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the salt and egg whites with your hands; it will become the consistency of wet sand.
  • In a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet that is large enough to fit the entire fish (it's okay if the fish only just fits), lay one-third of the salt mixture down, roughly in the shape of the fish. Place the fish on top of the salt mixture and pack the remaining salt mixture around the fish, leaving exposed the area from the eyes to the nose, and also the tail fin. The salt mixture should fully encase the fish, but may not fill the pan. In fact, unless you use a really narrow pan, you'll probably leave most of the pan exposed.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the fish is 130 to 135 degrees F. Depending on the exact size of your fish, your cooking time may vary. Don't break the salt crust while it's cooking or you'll let the juices escape. If you have one of those nice thermometers with the wires that you can leave in the oven while you cook to determine temperature, use that, and pack the salt around the probe to seal it in before cooking. If you don't have one of those fancy thermometers, check the temp by going through the exposed mouth with a probe thermometer. Once done, remove the fish from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • While the fish is resting, whisk together the lemon juice and zest, oil, Dijon, salt, and pepper to make a lemon vinaigrette to serve over the fish.
  • To remove the fish from the salt shell, use a butter knife and a wooden mallet or spoon. Like a paleontologist, I try to guess where the dorsal fin would be. Hit the fish right there, in the middle of the back (remember it's laying on its side). I place the tip of the butter knife where the dorsal fin was and tap it with the mallet or spoon, putting it in and giving it a wiggle. I score all the way around the fish, like I'm excavating it, so I can remove the salt dome in one piece. It doesn't mess anything up if you don't get it off in the one piece, but it just looks cooler if you do. Once you've gone all the way around the outline of the fish, remove the top part of the salt dome.
  • The skin is a little chewy, but it still tastes good, so help yourself to a piece. Cook's reward. Then go under the skin with a fork, down to the spine, and slide across the bottom to filet the fish from the spine. You might get it all in one filet. But most times you have to go back and clean it up.
  • Then take the mallet and butter knife, and place the knife at the base of the spine where it meets the head. Tap the handle end of the butter knife with the mallet to crack the spine. Remove the entire spine and bones. With a fork, slide along the bottom of the fish, between the flesh and the salt crust, to remove the other fish filet. You probably won't get the skin off cleanly with this filet, and that's fine.
  • This will yield two 10-ounce (or so) filets. Place each filet on a plate and finish with a spoonful of the lemon vinaigrette and a sprinkle of salt and parsley on top.

WHOLE ROASTED FISH

In honor of our special Family issue, Food Network Magazine asked the kids of some Food Network stars to act as guest editors and share their favorite family dinners. Here's what Alex Guarnaschelli's daughter, Ava Clark, had to share about this go-to whole roasted fish dish: "I cook this myself and my mom supervises - she tells me not to burn the house down."

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 whole American black sea bass (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each), scaled and gutted
2 large lemons, cut into 5 rounds each
8 sprigs thyme
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with foil and place in the oven; preheat to 450˚.
  • Trim the fins off the fish with kitchen shears. Pat both the inside and outside of the fish dry with paper towels. Stuff the cavities with the lemon slices and thyme. Rub the olive oil on the outside of the fish and season inside and out with salt and pepper.
  • Place the fish on the hot baking sheet in the oven (don't remove the baking sheet from the oven), leaving a little room between each fish. Bake until the fish is tender and it flakes at the meatiest part closest to the head, 12 to 18 minutes. Use a large metal spatula (or two smaller ones) to transfer the fish to a platter. Top with the parsley.
