Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces boneless fish fillet, such as snapper or cod
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 large sprig fresh thyme
2 Cerignola or other large green olives with pits
Extra-large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the fish fillet on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the top of the fillet. Lay the thyme on top and place the olives next to the fillet.
  • Beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of water for an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edge of the parchment paper and fold it in half. Carefully fold the edge of the parchment paper under and around the fish to make a package. Place the package on a sheet pan and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Serve hot in the parchment paper.

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 or 4 large Yukon gold potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick (a mandoline works well here)
6 cloves garlic (4 smashed and finely chopped; 2 just smashed)
1 bunch fresh oregano (half with leaves finely chopped; half as whole sprigs)
1/2 cup pitted gaeta or kalamata olives, slivered
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 3-pound fish (such as a snapper or bass), scaled, gutted and gills removed
1 lemon, sliced
3 fresh bay leaves
1/2 bunch fresh Italian parsley
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, chopped garlic, chopped oregano, olives and red pepper; drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt. Arrange the potatoes and friends in the bottom of a baking dish large enough to accommodate the fish. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove and reserve.
  • Make 3 diagonal slices about 1/2 inch deep on each side of the fish. Season the outside and inside with olive oil and salt. Place the lemon slices, bay leaves, whole oregano sprigs, parsley and the remaining smashed garlic inside the body cavity of the fish.
  • Pour the wine over the potatoes, lay the fish on top and toss the whole thing in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eyeballs pop out.
  • Remove the skin and bones and serve the fish over the potatoes.

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.

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."

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.
