One 2-pound sea bass, cleaned and gutted, fins trimmed
Kosher salt
5 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 oranges, sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
6 tablespoons orange juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dried sumac, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cooked saffron rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. Rub inside and out with 1 tablespoon salt. Lay the fish on an oiled baking dish.

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 Roasted Fish image

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.

MAHI BA SOMAGH (SUMAC ROASTED FISH)



Mahi ba Somagh (Sumac Roasted Fish) image

This flavorful and bright preparation of mahi, which means fish in Persian (not to be confused with mahi-mahi), comes together quickly. In keeping with the sour-leaning Iranian palate, a generous sprinkling of tart sumac and a drizzle of fragrant orange and lime juices coat butterflied whole fish. If your sumac has been languishing in the back of the spice drawer for some time, get a new jar. Over time, sumac loses its fragrance and punchy flavor and becomes bitter and bland. The key to successfully roasting the fish is to remove excess moisture by patting them dry with paper towels. Serve with a side of rice with tahdig, plain steamed rice or oven-baked fries and a simple salad.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large branzini or trout (about 1 1/2 pounds each), butterflied, heads and tails kept on if desired (see Tip)
1 medium orange
1 medium lime
1 tablespoon sumac
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Fresh mint leaves, torn, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use paper towels to gently pat the fish dry inside and out, and place the fish on the prepared pan.
  • Zest half of the orange directly into a small bowl, then squeeze in the juice from that half (about 3 tablespoons) and the juice from half of the lime (just under 1 tablespoon). Slice the remaining orange and lime halves and set aside for serving. In another small bowl, combine the sumac and turmeric.
  • Drizzle the fish with the olive oil inside and out. Open the fish up like books and evenly sprinkle with the pepper and salt. (If using fine salt or coarse kosher salt, use 3/4 teaspoon.) Arrange the open fish in a single layer, angling and overlapping slightly if needed to fit. Drizzle on the citrus mixture and then dust with the sumac mixture to cover most of the flesh.
  • Roast the fish until flaky and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Garnish with the reserved orange slices, lime slices and fresh mint, and serve.

SUMAC-ROASTED SNAPPER WITH LIME YOGURT



Sumac-Roasted Snapper With Lime Yogurt image

This whole roasted fish recipe is the perfect place to put the trinity of sumac, lime, and yogurt to work.

Provided by Eden Grinshpan

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole red snapper, cleaned
2 tablespoons sumac
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 garlic clove, grated
Chopped fresh mint
Juice of 1 lime
2 limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Carefully use a sharp knife to score each side of the fish, making 5 or 6 incisions into the skin and flesh of the fish (this will help even more flavor seep in to the flesh). Season inside and out with the sumac, salt, and pepper. Really pack on the sumac! Place the fish on a baking sheet. Stuff with the sliced garlic and drizzle the olive oil all over. Roast until the eyes have popped and the flesh is firm to the touch, about 20 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and grated garlic.
  • Place the roasted fish on a serving platter and scatter mint over the top. Squeeze the lime juice over the fish and serve the yogurt and lime wedges on the side.
