Serves: 2-4
Grilled Whole Red Snapper Ingredients
- Two 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound whole red snappers
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 large sprigs rosemary plus 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp. dry breadcrumbs
- Lemon wedges
Grilled Whole Red Snapper Directions
- Light the grill
- Rinse the fish; dry the surfaces and cavities thoroughly. Cut shallow incisions in a crisscross pattern, about 1 inch apart, on each side of both fish.
- Season each fish cavity with 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Put a rosemary sprig in each cavity or rub with 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary. Rub the surface of both fish with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of the oil, the garlic, the chopped fresh rosemary, or the remaining one teaspoon of dried rosemary, and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on both sides of each fish. Drizzle both sides with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
- Put the fish in a grill basket or onto a very clean grill rack. Cook over moderately high heat for 7 minutes. Turn and grill until golden and just done, about 7 minutes longer. Remove the fish carefully so it doesn't stick.
- Serve the fish on a platter. Run a knife between the flesh and the bones and lift off the fillet. Turn the fish over and repeat. Repeat with the other fish. Pass lemon wedges.
