Ingredients
- 2 (3-pound) whole red snappers, scaled and gutted
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground white pepper
- 2 large oranges, each sliced crosswise into 4 thick slices
- 6 sprigs rosemary, plus 2 tablespoons rosemary leaves
- 1/4 cup julienned orange zest (strips of zest)
- 1/2 cup 1/4-inch sliced garlic cloves
- 1 cup sliced kalamata olives
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1 cup orange juice
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Season the snappers with the salt and pepper. Place the orange slices on the bottom of a large roasting pan in 2 columns of 4 orange slices. Place 3 sprigs of rosemary across the each of the 2 rows of oranges. Lay the fish on top of the orange slices, and divide the rosemary leaves, orange zest, garlic cloves, and olives evenly over the tops of the 2 fish. Pour the wine and orange juice around the fish, and drizzle each fish with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Place the fish in the oven and roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil over each fish. Return to the oven and continue to cook until well caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the fish from the oven and drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Serve immediately, with the pan drippings drizzled over the top of the fish.

YUM! This was easier to make than I expected. I ended up using filets instead of the whole fish. My husband said I should win an award for this dish! We both loved it. Next time I would cut down on the salt because the olives add enough salty flavor. It turned out so pretty I took a picture of it (something I never do Company worthy for sure!!

Excellent way to prepare red snapper. Skip the extra salt, the olives are salty enough. Tasted great with a side salad and tabouli.

Had a lot of potential but like a lot of food network recipes it was way too salty.
