New Zealand Snapper - grilled and chilled!

When we traveled in Europe and having a vacation on Tenerife, we cooked a lot of Dorada. It's a beautiful fish with a lot of meat and not so much of bones!

In New Zealand, I heard a lot of people talking about snapper - and it reminded me this bony little fish we have in Estonia (a lot of fishermen like to catch it but I personally don't like this little bastardo's - because of bones and lack of meat). And one day digging on the internet and looking up what kind of fish I can catch here in NZ I found out that this bloody snapper is the same fish we used to eat on Tenerife!!! The same Dorada!!! Nonetheless, a plan was made and a couple of them purchased. Pak'nSave shop was very nice and they cleaned the fishes as well - so less work for me :)




It's easy to make, you need these few ingredients:
2 Snappers - cleaned and peachy
4 tbs olive oil
salt
white pepper
1 lemon
dill

Preparation:
Put some salt and white pepper inside and over the fishes. Chop dill and throw inside and over the fishes. Pure olive oil on fishes and lay lemon slices over fishes.


You can cook in an oven at 200C for about 20-25 minutes or on the grill on medium heat for about 20 minutes. If fish will flake then its ready to serve.




Serve with some fresh salad and chilled white wine. It was really delicious!

Bon Appetit!
