Veracruz-Style Red Snapper Recipe - Easy Baked Fish Veracruz

[BillHalliwell]

Dear Chef John, I'm one of the millions who love seafood but hate cooking it; strange; because I'm a retired cook.
Your snapper and mayonnaise recipe plus this classic dish has saved my bacon with my seafood loving spouse many times. We have beautiful snapper and many other kinds of fish here in Australian waters and your approach to fish cooking has been a revelation to our fish eating/cooking habits. I'm no longer afraid of fish (and as you know 'they know').You're a wiz! Thank you!

It is really nice to see such a delicious dish prepared in another country. I'm from Mexico, more specifically from Veracruz, and I can say that your oven version looks incredible, practically the same as the traditional one. Congrats!

Just to let you know I tried this several weeks ago.  Fantastic!  Then I made it again using Alaskan cod, and it was so great.  Today I made it again using Swahi, and none was left.  Great recipe that is versatile enough to use several different types of fish.

You hit the nail on the head perfectly. Chef John presents professional dishes with his own twist that are also accessible to the everyday home kitchen chef. I consider myself a professional chef and i have the utmost respect for Chef John.

You are a God to good eating. I saw this vid a week ago and knew this would be a great Sunday lunch idea for visiting family.
It got RAVE reviews. And no, I did not substitute this or change that. I even self pitted those fancy foodie olives (which are my new favorite). This recipe is a hit and a keeper! Which leads be back to a hearty Thank You! You enrich all our lives.

There are really a ton of ways to make this dish. I scuba dive, and often travel to Cozumel, Mexico, which not only has great diving, but a real wealth of very good locally owned restaurants, with great fresh seafood. I have had Fish Vera Cruz in maybe 4 or 5 different restaurants, and never exactly the same way twice. The common factors are onions, garlic, tomatoes, olives and capers. Maybe it’s a Yucatan thing - Yucatan cuisine is often not as spicy as Mexican cuisine from states farther north, like Vera Cruz, and I usually see poblano peppers rather than jalapenos. The poblanos are milder and a bit fruitier, and I think they work great with this recipe.

Chef John,
Long time; first time. I just wanted you to know that this is among my favorite recipes of yours. Whenever I need to look up a recipe, I go to your channel; first, and if I must, work my way down the line.
Thank you for being you, from Seattle.

Wow. I cooked this for my husband and ... he actually didn't laugh and tell me he appreciated my effort. It was great! I had a lot of extra veggies because I overdid it a little, but the flavor was awesome! Thanks Chef John!

That looks absolutely delicious however, instead of the chips I would make some nice Spanish yellow rice to go with it. And a small house salad with cucumbers and tomatoes on the side.

Time and time again, Chef john, your recipes just hit the spot superbly.

I lived in Veracruz State, I saw your recipe and it is really good and it is inspiring you are one of my favorite chefs, thank you for sharing your knowlede.

Just did this. Added 1/2 c red, 1/2c green bell pepper and pan fried tilapia about 2/3, had sauce separate, put over and under and gave flour dusted filets another minute or two until flaky. Rave reviews from the Peanut Gallery. Thank you so much, Chef John!

I have made this dish a few times and the recipe never fails to impress me. Thank you so much for making this video and inspiring me to cook and enjoy the meals I love.

This is my absolute favorite recipe of yours. I've made it several times and actually find myself craving it often! Well done

Found this while trying to recreate a restaurant experience. I did not hit it, but this was a winner for family dinner. It is in the regular rotation, and I have a start from which to explore variations. Thanks!

[malivaditzel]

I made this for my family tonight. I served it just like you did with tortilla chips. My husband's first words were: "Ohhhh! Fish nachos!" I guess you don't have to be a child to eat like one! Thanks, Chef John!
