- Step 1
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Oil a piece of foil large enough to wrap fish in. Place fish in middle of foil, and fill its cavity with peppercorns, 4 bay leaves and Seville orange zest (or orange and lime zest).
- Step 2
Sprinkle fish with salt and fold two sides of foil together, sealing with a pleat. Fold other two sides in to enclose fish; place on a baking sheet with folds up. Bake 45 minutes.
- Step 3
About 15 minutes before fish is ready, place Seville orange juice (or orange and lime juice) in a small saucepan. Add remaining bay leaf, olives and pine nuts. Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm.
- Step 4
To serve, open foil and peel away skin from top of fish. Carefully remove top fillets and place on warm serving plates. Lift bone from tail end, and place bottom fillets on plates, leaving skin behind. Top each serving with a spoonful of orange sauce and a sprinkling of parsley. Pass remaining sauce at table.

Cooking Notes

Very good. I warmed some minced garlic and 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper in a little olive oil before adding the sauce ingredients.

This is a very good recipe. However, you MUST use real Seville or other sour oranges. The suggested substitution of regular orange lime juice doesn’t work because it lacks the bitterness of a real Seville orange.

We just had a pink snapper fillet for two. Put a few olives, salt, pepper and a bit of wine on the fish and cooked it in the foil. I toasted the pine nuts and just put them on top after we sauced the fish. Used mandarin orange juice and lime juice, bay leaf and olives in the reduction. It was delicious!

The sauce needed something... a Tbsp of Frank's helped a lot.
