Whole Roasted Red Snapper With Potatoes And Onions
- 1 1/2 cups loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 medium shallot (about 2 oz.), roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 2 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 pound baby gold potatoes (about 8 potatoes)
- 1 small red onion (about 8 oz.), cut lengthwise into 1-in. wedges
- 1 (3-lb.) whole red snapper, cleaned, scaled, gutted, and fins trimmed
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Process parsley, shallot, garlic, thyme, lemon zest, and red pepper in a food processor until finely chopped, about 15 seconds. Add oil, and process until well incorporated, about 15 seconds. Toss together potatoes, onion wedges, 2 tablespoons of the parsley mixture, and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl.
- Cut 3 (2-inch-long) slits diagonally on both sides of fish, cutting all the way to the bone on both sides. Rub exterior and inside of cuts with 1 cup of the parsley mixture and remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt; place fish on prepared baking sheet. Spread potato mixture around fish. Bake in preheated oven until fish is opaque and flaky and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Drizzle fish with remaining 1/4 cup parsley mixture. Serve with lemon wedges.
