Roasting fish fillets that have been oiled and seasoned is a fail-safe, hands-off technique with big flavor payoff.

Ingredients

4 servings

2 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 teaspoons baharat or ras-el-hanout
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 (6-ounce) skin-on, boneless red snapper fillets
Kosher salt
1 lemon, halved
3 medium Persian cucumbers, peeled, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced into rings, rinsed, patted dry
1 cup cilantro with tender stems

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix garlic, baharat, and 6 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl. Place fish on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and pat dry. Rub both sides of fish with garlic-spice oil; season with salt. Turn skin side up and bake until fish is tender and cooked through and skin is beginning to brown, 8–10 minutes. Finely grate zest from a lemon half over each fillet as soon as you remove fish from the oven.

    Step 2

    Squeeze juice from a lemon half into a medium bowl. Add cucumbers, shallot, and cilantro, season with salt, and toss to combine.

    Step 3

    Slide fish onto a platter; top with cucumber salad and squeeze juice from remaining lemon half over. Drizzle with olive oil.

  • I gave it 3 forks because I changed it a little- I did a traditional cucumber salad with vinegar and dill, and I used a mix of baharat and ras el hanout, and grilled it instead of baking it, basting in 3 or 4 times with the oil mixture. It was fantastic!

  • 所以失望。经验丰富的石油的虚拟ly no flavor to the fish, which tasted completely bland. The cucumber salad is made with cilantro, which is a weird choice, and likely would work better with arugula. The "dressing" for that salad is just a squeeze of lemon juice, which makes the whole thing incredibly tart. Adding some olive oil helps, but not much. At $15 or more a pound, you should find something else to do with your snapper.
