Snook Recipes: Cooking Tips and Delicious Ideas to Try

Here are some mouthwatering Snook recipes that you don’t want to miss out on. But before we dive in, let me share a personal note: Snook has always been at the top of my list for the best fish I’ve ever eaten. The flavor is unforgettable, and when it’s cooked fresh, it’s a true taste treat that lingers in your memory.

Barbecue Snook

If you’re a fan of barbecues, this recipe is a must-try!

Ingredients:

• 1 whole, cleaned snook
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 sliced clove of garlic
• 4 slices of lemon
• The juice of a single lemon
• About ½ cup of olive oil (extra virgin is best)
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Make four slits on each side of the fish.
2. In each slit, place a bay leaf, a ½ slice of lemon, and some sliced garlic.
3. Generously salt the fish and drizzle it with lemon juice and olive oil.
4. Let it marinate for at least an hour before grilling.
5. Use a charcoal or wood-fired kettle for the ultimate flavor experience. Sorry gas grill lovers, but this one’s just not the same on gas.
6. While grilling, brush a mixture of garlic, oil, and lemon juice onto the fish.
7. For an impressive touch, add a sprig of fresh rosemary, oregano, or basil.
8. To keep the skin moist, drizzle some olive oil over the fish while it cooks.
9. Sauté the remaining sliced garlic with white wine and parsley, then add the juice of a single lemon.
10. Serve the sauce cold with the hot barbecued fish. For an extra treat, pair it with a salad.

Snook a’la Parmesano

For a cheesy twist on snook, try this delicious recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of real mayonnaise
• ¾ cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 5 chopped green onions or scallions
• A spritz of Tabasco
• A glass of white wine

1. Place the snook fillets into an oven-safe dish, such as a casserole dish.
2. Generously apply lemon juice over the fillets.
3. Bake in a 350-degree oven until the thickest portions of the snook are firm when poked with a fork (approximately 10 to 12 minutes).
4. While the fish is baking, take a break and enjoy a glass of wine.
5. Remove the snook from the oven and evenly spread the topping mixture over the fillets.
6. Broil until the topping is brown and bubbling.
7. Serve the fish immediately with white rice for a delightful meal.
