How long to bake whole fish in foil in oven

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Foil Baked Snapper is a simple dish of red snapper seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, ginger and spring onions wrapped in aluminum foil then baked until cooked.

Nothing will beat the flavours of baked fresh fish in its simplest form without the hindrance of using thick sauces to mask the real flavour of seafood.

Baking it also have some secrets to prevent the flavour from escaping, that goes similar to steaming as well. I had seen this being done by Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver where they tightly foil wrap the fish when baking and tightly cling wrap the fish while steaming, this prevent the seafood juices coming out or be diluted in water, it will also lock any herb or spices you might have added on to enhance the fish flavour and it does its job by keeping it moist as the juices are kept in.

With this recipe you can use any large white fleshy fish with the help of a few spices and herbs to enhace and not mask the flavours of the fish, I tried it with snapper and its really good.
