Ingredients
- Deselect All
- 1 (4-pound) whole red snapper, cleaned
- 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 pound fresh fennel, chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons fennel seed
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup kosher salt
Instructions
- When cooking with a whole fish you must first be sure that the fish is gutted, your local fish market will do this for you. The skin should be scaled and the gills and fins removed. Leave on the head and tail. Rinse the fish inside and out then pat dry.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the parsley, orange, fennel, bay leaves, shallot, red pepper flakes, fennel seed, and 1/4-cup olive oil. Stuff the cavity of the fish with 3/4 of the mixture, then spread the remaining 1/4 on the bottom of a roasting pan so the fish will not stick.
- Transfer the fish to the roasting pan and rub the skin with remaining olive oil. In another bowl, whip the egg whites to a stiff peak, then fold in the salt to make a paste. Smear the salt paste over the entire fish and roast in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 30 to 40 minutes. The egg whites form a hard crust that will crack like a shell. To serve, scoop the flesh from the fish with a spoon.

Reviews
The stuffing really added to the fish. We ended up eating it too! Easy and impressive.
Though I love to cook, seafood is not my forte, and this recipe is very easy and extremely delicious!
Very good and easy to fix. Needed to cook a touch longer. Line your pan with foil
Someone needs to proof read your procedures before putting them online. This is not the first time that the directions given online differ from those on the show. On the show the chef used some of the eggwhite/salt mixture on the bottom of the pan to ensure it would not stick, however, the recipe calls for the filling to be placed on the bottom of the pan. Make up your minds!!
