Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets, skin on
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
Two 28-ounce cans whole Italian plum tomatoes, crushed
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Dredge snapper fillets in flour. Tap off excess. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place half the fillets, flesh side down, in skillet, and cook until golden brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Remove fish, and transfer to a large flat dish. Add 3 tablespoons oil, and repeat cooking the remaining snapper. Remove from the skillet; set aside.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet; reduce heat to medium. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and wine; season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly between two large skillets; let simmer over medium-low heat until sauce thickens, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Divide parsley between skillets. Place half the fillets, skin-side down, in each skillet, and simmer until the fish is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.
