Snapper with Toasty Garlic Mojo

11 November 2024

This was simply delightful. It was light and fresh and really perfect. We talk about it often. And it was really so easy! I say that, Brian was the chef on this one. I just got the amazing benefit of a wonderful dish. 

Ingredients
1/3 C olive oil
8 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
2/3 C chicken broth
salt
1/2 t ground pepper, plus more to finish the dish
four 4/5oz skinless fish fillets (snapper, halibut, mahi mahi, catfish, or bass)
1/2 C chopped cilantro
1 large lime, cut in wedges for serving

Instructions
Turn on the oven on its lowest setting. In a very large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft, lightly browned and very aromatic, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, scoop the garlic into a food processor or blender jar, leaving as much oil as possible in the skillet. Set the skillet aside.

Add the broth to the processor or blender, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Blend until smooth.

Return the skillet to medium-heat. Generously season the fish with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, lay in the fish. When Richly browned underneath, about 2 to 3 minutes, flip and cook until the fish gives slightly under firm pressure from your finger, about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to transfer each piece of fish to an oven-proof dinner plate. Keep warm in the oven.

Spoon the sauce over and around the fish and serve right away, with lime wedges for each person to squeeze on.
