Glad my Doctor insisted on more fish in the diet! This was fast fresh and so very good. Thanks for the recipe Chef John!
I made this exactly as written, except: I used a chopped, fresh (locally grown) tomato instead of cherry tomatoes, and I only had one lime. Anyhow, it turned out great -- really delicious and just what I was looking for. I often order fish Veracruz at restaurants, but had never tried it at home. I served it with rice and an avacado salad. I will make this again for sure -- hubby loved it too. Thanks Chef John!
Delicious! This was a big hit with everyone, and Weight Watchers friendly. Do take the effort to find the Castelvetrano olives; very flavorful. I was able to track them down at Whole Foods.
This dish looks and tastes complicated but goes together very quickly and easily. I was impressed Chef John! Served with Spicy Green Beans, Mexican Rice II and Tomato, Avocado and Corn Salad as a starter all from AR. Thank you Chef John!!!
I had to use a large regular tomato instead of the cherry tomatoes and red onion instead of white. Very easy preparation and the flavor is outstanding. I sautéed the snapper in a separate pan (sprinkled with cayenne olive oil and some lime juice) then plated it and spooned the sauce on top. I don't like the sauce tasting so much like the fish.
Alterations: used Tilapia no-salt-added canned tomatoes added green & red bell peppers. Layered a bit of sauce on the bottom added sauteed yellow squash & zucchini & a bit more sauce then fish & the rest of the sauce. It was FANTASTIC - my daughter immediately asked me when I would be making it again!
Tasy and low-cal!.. I made this tonight after first seeing the video on U-Tube... I didn't realize it was for only 2 servings which explains why my sauce wasn't quite enough but the flavors made up for that! The addition I made from another recipe was to pre-sliced then boil a couple red potatoes in salted water then layer them on top of the fish before putting the top layer of sauce. Other changes I made were leaving the fish whole using dried oregano and red onion because of what I had. My three guys all liked it and the pickiest never said anything about the onions. I didn't have capers but I'll be sure to have them next time. I used some of the olive brine as a substitute. The snapper's flavor wasn't great on it's own; I would want to try it with other white-fish maybe cod... Thank you!
My son thought this was the best fish ever! Great bold flavors. Followed exactly using fresh mangrove snapper except I used large martini olives instead of fancier ones and we all loved it. Chef John does it again and we thank you!
Fabulous. Made it twice. Finished both times with cilantro. Next time i might try this with shrimp.
Not bad! Made with tilapia and used regular olives instead of Castelvetrano because that's what I had. Also used less lime ( 3/4 of one). Made 1 baking dish without jalapenos and cayenne for the kids; grown-ups got full strength. Hubby suggested less cayenne and more jalapeno next time. Nice complexity of flavors; served with yellow rice and roasted Brussels sprouts.
