Ingredients
- One 1-pound red snapper, cleaned
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- All-purpose seasoning, for seasoning the fish
- 5 tablespoons butter, plus more for greasing foil
- 1/4 pound okra, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons white wine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Wash the fish thoroughly and dry on paper towels. Score both sides of fish 3 times. Combine the minced garlic and jalapeno and stuff mixture into each of the 6 slits. Rub the fish with salt, pepper and all-purpose seasoning. Let fish marinate for 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.)
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the okra and bell pepper and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Make a slit down the center of the fish’s belly. Stuff the belly of the fish with the okra and peppers and the chopped parsley. Place the fish on a rectangular piece of buttered foil. Place the remaining butter on top of the fish and drizzle with with the white wine.
- Seal the fish in the foil, but leave a slight opening to allow the steam to escape. Place the fish on a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and transfer from foil to a serving dish, along with the juices collected in the foil.

Dear MAD MONGOOSE BAR, I love your Oven Baked Red Snapper recipe, This dish looks like a work of art. Don’t miss out on the chance to upload your recipe to KHAL.COM and get valuable tips.
This was an amazing dish to make! Probably my new favorite way to make whole red snapper! How did I miss this episode? LOL
Love it! Very easy to make and very tasty…
Extremely tasty! The abundance of butter and the okra/red pepper combination enhance the flavor of the snapper for myself, a heat lightweight, I would only use half of a jalapeño. My husband was frustrated by the bones, so I’ll make it with fillets next time. All in all, a great success of trying to increase flavorful fish in our diet.
All purpose seasoning was the fifth ingredient in the recipe you need to read it again!!
Island people slit fish open and remove the gut and gills etc before seasoning
This was the first time I have cooked a whole fish. It turned out delicious, my wife loved it, even said it might be the best thing I have cooked! NOTE: The written directions (and ingredients list) omit an important item, all-purpose seasoning. In the accompanying video, after adding salt and pepper, the chef adds all-purpose seasoning. Obviously, leaving that out would make a huge flavor impact. Fortunately for me, I had the ingredients needed to make all-purpose seasoning on hand!
My husband enjoyed it! He said it looked so pretty.
Man, this couldn’t have been tastier!! Great recipe for a hot summer day :>
The seasoning on the recipe left good flavor on the fish, but I would recomment using a smaller portion of fish than the recipe states. Overall, very good.
