Ingredients

  • 3 whole baby snapper (about 12 ounces each), cleaned
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 lemon, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 2/3 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 4 anchovy fillets
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

2. Score snapper by making 4 (1-inch) crosswise cuts on each side of skin with a sharp knife. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt evenly inside cavities; arrange lemon slices evenly in cavities. Wrap fish tightly in foil coated with cooking spray. Place fish on grill rack; grill 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Let stand 5 minutes before unwrapping.

3. Combine parsley and remaining ingredients in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve sauce with fish.
