Red Snapper with Brandade
Whole red snapper grilled until the skin is crisp and the flesh is tender, served with a rich, creamy brandade made from fish trimmings, potato purée, garlic, olive oil, and fresh parsley. The smoky char of the grill pairs beautifully with the buttery sauce.

About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 4/5 lb red snapper
Brandade
- fish fillet trimmings
- 8 4/5 oz potato purée
- 2 garlic
- 0.88 oz parsley
- 3 1/2 oz olive oil
- milk
- salt
Instructions
- 1Preheat the grill or a charcoal grill to medium‑low heat (about 150‑320°F).
- 2Rinse the whole red snapper and pat dry; season the inside cavity with salt.
- 3Place the snapper on a rack or grill grate, brush the skin generously with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- 4Grill the snapper skin‑side down for 6–8 minutes, then carefully flip and grill the other side for another 6–8 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
- 5While the fish is grilling, prepare the brandade:
- 6a. Salt‑cure the fish fillet trimmings for 20 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.
- 7b. In a skillet, sauté the garlic in a little olive oil, add the trimmings and fry until the meat falls apart and turns lightly golden.
- 8c. Add milk, bring to a gentle boil, then stir in the potato purée until smooth.
- 9d. Incorporate the remaining olive oil gradually, creating a silky sauce, and finish with chopped parsley; season to taste.
- 10Remove the grilled snapper from the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes.
- 11Plate the snapper on a serving platter, spoon the warm brandade over the side or serve in a bowl alongside the fish.
- 12Garnish with a drizzle of extra olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
