Red Snapper with Persian Sumac Recipe

Baked Red Snapper with Persian Sumac Recipe

This dish took me back to the coastal fishing villages on the Mediterranean Sea. The aromas of the red snapper fish, the marinade and the fresh herbs filled my kitchen. If we can’t travel and bask in the sun of those beautiful seaside towns, why not bring that feeling, flavor and ambiance to your table? This beautiful red snapper platter looks like it took all day to prep, but with my marinade, Persian Sumac and Turkish wheat pilaf, it took just a few minutes! 

Wild Garden Persian Sumac Red Snapper Recipe

Red Snapper Recipe Ingredients: 

• 3 lbs Red Snapper (2 large whole fish)
• 1 package @wildgardenfoods Persian Sumac Marinade  
• 2 bunches of parsley 
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tsp sumac
• Salt and pepper 
• Lemon Slices 
• Fresh herbs (thyme and parsley) 

Preparation: 

Step One

1. Wash fish really good with water and half a lemon. Drain. I used two large and beautiful red snapper but this dish can be made with trout, branzini, bass or any other whole fish!
2. Pour Wild Garden Persian Sumac marinade over the fish. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper. 
3. Mix 2 bunches of chopped parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tsp sumac, salt and pepper. 
4. Stuff the parsley mixture inside of the red snapper. 
5. Cover and refrigerate for 30 min. 

Step Two

1. After the fish has marinated for 30 minutes, wrap each fish individually with parchment paper and then wrap each one with foil. 
2. Bake in the oven at 400 F until fish is flakey. 
3. This depends on the temperature of your oven, mine took about 40 to 45 minutes. 
4.  Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs.
