Chef Chuck's Italian Red Snapper

Dentice

Catch of the Day !

This crispy snapper was so moist and the tomatoes and shallots gave it a light delicate flavor. The fresh lemon juice added a bright zing! A great pairing with the garlic spinach and beans
for a smooth texture.

  3. Chuck - You might finally shed light on one of my biggest fish queries: what is a good Mediterranean alternative to Snapper?
    The recipe looks fabulous, and that topping is genius. I have to run to Mirko, my fishmonger now!
