Oven baked whole red snapper
Ingredients
- 1 whole red snapper
- 1 small spring onion
- 1 sprig of parsley
- 1 small habanero
- 5-7 njangsa seeds
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small chunk of ginger (about 1 tsp crushed)
- 1 maggi cube
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 small onion
Instructions
- Descale fish.(or have it done by vendor before you leave). And cut of fins leaving the tail on for handling. Thoroughly rinse fish. Using a sharp knife, make angled slits down the sides.
- Blends all ingredients (including salt and maggi) with olive oil until creamy. Use 3/4 of this to marinade fish. Use food grade gloves or brush to thoroughly coat fish, inside and outside. Let sit for about 15-20 minutes
- Preheat oven to 425
- Add one more tablespoon of olive oil into remaining blended herbs and give it a good stir. Transfer fish into cast iron skillet (or any baking dish you have) Brush exposed side with olive oil/spice blend. Add in your choice of vegetables (Cut into small pieces so they cook into correct doneness alongside fish).
- Bake for 20 minutes until flaky. Flip, brush with more spices and broil on high for about 3 minutes or until just a little charred. Flip vegetables too.
- Enjoy. Watch out for the bones. More flavorful but a little more daring for some
