Mediterranean Red Snapper

Kalamata olives and/or capers would be lovely additions to this meal. Add them with the cherry tomatoes. You can also use a whole red snapper if you find one that fits in your Dutch oven. I like to use canned or frozen artichoke hearts packed in water, though marinated artichoke hearts packed in herbed olive oil would add another layer of flavor to this meal. And any white wine is fine to use here. I often use a Chenin Blanc or a Sauvignon Blanc simply because those are what I like to drink.

    serves 2

Ingredients

Olive oil spray
1/2 cup couscous
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 to 3/4 pound red snapper fillets
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small lemon, sliced
1/4 small red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 to 6 garlic cloves, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup canned or frozen artichoke hearts, halved
1/2 head broccoli, cut into florets (about 2 cups)
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.

    Step 3

    Pour the couscous into the pot. Add the wine and 1 tablespoon water and stir to coat all the grains and spread them evenly. Lay the red snapper in the pot, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil and top with the slices of lemon and onion. Sprinkle with half of the parsley and garlic and lightly salt and pepper to taste.

    Step 4

    Scatter in the artichoke hearts, broccoli, and tomatoes. Sprinkle with the rest of the parsley and garlic.

    Step 5

    Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
