This meal was too good, the potatoes soaked all the fish juice while cooking than slightly crisped up to a beautiful golden colour😋😋😋. My crowd went wild.
As always you can spice the fish with your favourite seasoning and you can also use any other fish. Be inspired.
Ingredients I Used:
2 headless red snapper about 600 g each
For The Fish Dry Rub:
👩🏾🍳 1 teaspoon each of salt, freshly grated black pepper, smoked paprika, onion granules, garlic granules, dried parsley ( best if you use fresh parsley).
👩🏾🍳 Juice of 1 lime.
👩🏾🍳 800 g potatoes thinly sliced.
👩🏾🍳 3 tablespoons oil.
👩🏾🍳 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic.
👩🏾🍳 1 teaspoon salt+ black pepper.
Method:
🧑🏾🍳 Make diagonal cuts on each side of both fish. Rub with juice on the lime and the dried seasoning making sure you get the seasoning inside each cuts and in the gut area properly. Cover it than place in the fridge to marinate for 1 hour.
🧑🏾🍳Preheat the oven to 200°c fan assisted oven. Grease an oven proof dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Gently rub the potato slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt , pepper and the minced garlic than arrange them on the prepared oven dish. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of water, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
🧑🏾🍳 After 30 minutes , place the fish on top of the potatoes, drizzle about 1 teaspoon of olive oil on each and return to the oven, uncovered and continue baking for 30 minutes. Turn the fish halfway through cooking. (This fish is quite tough so it is easy to turn it half way through Cooking, if using any other fish and it is fragile don't turn it, just continue baking until the fish is ready).
Serve immediately and enjoy.
