A delicious way to roast a whole fish, with some flavors of Greece!
Author: My Delicious Blog
Recipe type: Seafood
Cuisine: Seafood
Serves: 2
Ingredients
Fish
2 small-medium Yellowtail Snapper (or other Snapper or Striped Bass), scales removed & gutted
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon slices
Fresh oregano
Fresh thyme
Greek "Salsa"
½ c. grape (or cherry) tomatoes, roughly chopped
½ c. calamata olives, chopped
1-2 Tb. red onion, chopped
½ lemon
Pinch fresh oregano, chopped
3-4 Tb. olive oil
½ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
For the Fish:
Heat a grill to very high (about 450-500 degrees).
Rinse and pat dry each fish.
Sprinkle olive oil on both sides of each fish, as well as, on the inside cavities.
Sprinkle the entire fish, inside & out, with kosher salt.
Stuff each cavity with a few sliced lemons, a sprig or two of oregano & thyme.
With a sharp knife, score the tops of each of the fish (about 2")
Place each fish directly onto the grill and cook each side for about 6 minutes (I like to cover the grill to help the fish roast a bit more).
While the fish cooks, make the Greek "Salsa"
After chopping all the ingredients, mix everything in a small bowl and allow everything to marry together before serving with the fish.
Notes
If you don't have access to a grill, simply heat your oven to 450 degrees and place the fish in a roasting pan (atop a rack, if you have one). Roast for about 12-15 mins and you're good to go.
