Baked Snapper with Citrus and Ginger

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Make three slashes across each side of the fish using a sharp knife. This will keep the fish from curling as it cooks. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Cover each side with fresh ginger, then green onions and tomatoes. Season with sea salt. Slice half of the lime and place the slices on top of the fish. Drizzle with the soy sauce, and squeeze the other half of the lime over the fish. Cut the lemon in half and set in the pan. Cover the whole dish with aluminum foil.
  3. 3 Bake the fish until the flesh is opaque and can be flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the baked lemon halves over the fish before serving. Serve the fillet on the top side first, then gently lift out the backbone, while helping the flesh off the bones with your knife. It's much easier than trying to turn the fish over.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Grind salmon, red snapper, black cod, ling cod, 2 ½ onions, and 4 carrots together. Place mixture into a large wooden bowl. Using a hand chopper, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. 3 Add 1 ½ tablespoons sugar, 4 teaspoons salt, and white pepper; continue to chop until very well blended. Stir in ice water a little at a time throughout this process. Add matzo meal and chop again until mixture is thick enough to bind together to make a ball; if not, add more matzo meal. Set aside.
  4. 4 Fill 2 large heavy stockpots half full with water. Slice 1 raw onion and 1 carrot into each stockpot. Add fish skins, if desired.
  5. 5 Divide 4 tablespoons sugar, paprika, and black pepper evenly between each pot. Season with salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let boil for 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Using wet hands, shape fish mixture into oval-shaped balls and carefully drop into boiling stock.
  7. 7 Cover the stockpots slightly and cook over medium-low heat for 2 hours. Remove from heat and let balls sit in the pot for 10 minutes.
  8. 8 Remove balls carefully to containers and strain remaining stock over balls, just barely covering them. Chill in the refrigerator before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
