Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound small potatoes, such as ruby crescents, cut into 1/8-inch thick rounds
1 medium onion, quartered lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
20 cloves roasted garlic
1 sprig fresh rosemary
4 (7-ounce) skin-on red snapper fillets
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 cups clam broth, plus more as needed
2 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
16 Kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
8 thin-sliced rounds lemon

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Make the potatoes: Heat the oil in an ovenproof 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring, until soft, about 10 minutes. (The potatoes shouldn't brown.) Add the onion, rosemary, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to bowl and set aside. (The potatoes may be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated.)
Make the snapper: Heat the oil in the ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Arrange the potatoes in 4 thick mounds in the skillet and scatter the garlic and rosemary around them.
Season the snapper with salt and pepper. Place 1 fillet on top of each mound. Add the wine, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Pour in the clam broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and braise in the oven until the snapper is barely opaque in the center, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Using a slotted spatula, transfer the potato mounds topped with the snapper to the center of 4 warmed dinner plates. Return the skillet to high heat and boil until lightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives and parsley and cook for 15 seconds. Taste for balance, adding some olive oil or more clam broth, if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon half the sauce over the fish fillets and pour the rest into a warmed sauce boat. Serve immediately, garnished with the lemon slices, with the sauce passed on the side.

20 ounces red snapper fillets or 20 ounces other white fish fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 scallions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
8 nicoise olives, pitted and sliced

Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C).
Place the snapper fillets in a shallow glass baking dish and top with the lemon juice and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the scallion and garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the drained tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, basil, oregano and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the fillets and top with the chopped or dried parsley. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the fish just separates when pressed with a fork, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
To serve, divide among 4 individual plates. Top each with a lemon wedge and a parsley sprig.

Braised Red Snapper with Grandma-Style Zucchini, Peppers, and Black Olives image

Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 red bell peppers
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
15 baby new potatoes, halved
3 zucchini, cut in 1/2-inch-thick circles
1/2 cup whole kalamata olives
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 fresh thyme sprigs
6 fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 lemon, sliced paper-thin
2 cups Chicken Stock (page 156)
1 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
Juice of 1 lemon
2 center-cut red snapper fillets, about 8 ounces each, skin on, halved on the diagonal

Steps:

Preheat the broiler. Pull out the cores of the red peppers; then halve them lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Toss the peppers with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a cookie sheet, skin side up, and broil for 10 minutes, until really charred and blistered. Put the peppers into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and steam for about 10 minutes to loosen the skins. Peel the peppers and cut them into big strips.
Heat a 2-count of oil in a wide pot. Add the roasted peppers, potatoes, zucchini, olives, garlic, thyme, tarragon, and lemon slices. Sauté everything together for a few minutes over medium heat to coat in the oil and soften; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken stock, wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, and let it slowly simmer down for 30 minutes while you prepare the fish.
Rub a little olive oil and salt and pepper on the fish fillets. Add a 2-count drizzle of olive oil to a skillet and place over medium heat. When the pan is nice and hot, sear the fish, skin side down. Gently press on the fish with a spatula to crisp up the skin. Carefully transfer the fish to the pot of vegetables, skin side up. Turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it; don't let the liquid boil or cook the fish too long or it will fall apart. Serve the fish and vegetables in wide, shallow bowls with a ladle of broth and a drizzle of olive oil. Home-style goodness!
