This recipe is e...Last night we tried this recipe. This recipe is easy to make and was absolutely delicious! <br /><br /> Notes.<br />My bf and I usually follow recipes exactly then after our first tasting, adjust the ingredients/amounts to our taste.<br /><br />GREEN OLIVE<br />This recipe was chosen just hours before dinner. I did not find the Castelvetrano green olives last night at the grocer so opted for another green olive Cerignola. I chose this olive because it came pitted, which is a personal preference because I believe olives taste better when still pitted. <br /><br />SKINNED OR NOT SKINNED, THAT WAS MY QUESTION!<br />The Red Snapper fish we purchased the day before at Whole Foods, not yet knowing our plan of recipe. I only asked the fish man to debone and filet the fish, so the fillets still had the skin on. <br /><br /> Chef John did not specifically mention on the video whether or not the Snapper should be skinned and the video only showed one side of the fish, the written recipe also does not mention this. I assumed because the fish is baked, that it probably needed to be skinned. <br /><br />Perhaps, those who cook fish a lot know whether or not a fillet should be skinned for oven cooking. I am not one of those people. : /<br /><br />Nevertheless, I did my best to remove the skins.<br /><br />HE'S A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY KIND-OF-A-GUY. JUST SAYIN'<br />My bf was impatient and did not slice the olives to remove the pits. I managed to remove most of the pits but some went into the oven still pitted. <br /><br />When the Veracruz came out of the oven, it looked incredible. The few olives that were still pitted, didn't hurt anything. <br /><br />TASTE TIME!<br />It was delicious. The only thing I would change, is a little less Jalepeno seed. <br /><br />SPICEY HOT!<br />It was spicy hot, so I would lessen the heat just a bit. Other than that, this recipe ROCKS! <br /><br />DILLY-DILLY! HE LIKES IT, THE NEW MIKEY!<br />My boyfriend then stated he probably wouldn't eat the fish because he's a pain-in-the-you-know-what and is not a fish eater and usually finds any recipe with more than two ingredients off-putting. Oh brother! <br /><br />He tried the fish recipe and couldn't believe how great it was. He said it best when he said it was "An explosion of flavor."<br /><br />Veracruz is now in our recipe book and we plan on cooking this meal at least once a month! <br /> Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978460818294083321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-87280656365105591362015-05-16T18:15:48.236-04:002015-05-16T18:15:48.236-04:00Hi CJ!,

Your blog has made a unique and real difference in my life. I do eat better - even if I have to cook myself. All your recipes I have tried have been rock-solid reliable, well-tested, expertly accomplished, innovative whenever possible and always elegant. Your approach to teaching is tolerant, flexible and accommodating where reasonable. The results have invariably been very satisfying. Thank you very much. <br />ZShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720787691909220609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-62552831395271713092014-03-02T23:00:22.398-05:002014-03-02T23:00:22.398-05:00Chef John,

I bought 2.5 pounds of fresh snapper yesterday ($25 lb btw...expensive fish!) so I doubled the recipe for the toppings (actually made 2 separate batches because I didn't want to effect the intended flavors). I went to 2 stores looking for the individual cooking pans and no one had them so I cooked it in a stone lasagna pan. I ended up with 6 fillets so 3 servings stacked on top of each other and cooked for 20 mins. My first time cooking snapper but it will not be my last! This was delicious and fairly easy to make. It will be in the rotation of Chef John meals!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587092734452031914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-4381849352665846632014-02-24T07:47:10.649-05:002014-02-24T07:47:10.649-05:00This was an amazing dish!This was an amazing dish!Aidannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572925882934414565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-37742374498278440732014-02-23T22:03:21.178-05:002014-02-23T22:03:21.178-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Aidannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572925882934414565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-39899242387843541312013-07-14T12:01:11.594-04:002013-07-14T12:01:11.594-04:00Hi Chef John, I would love to make the Veracruz re...Hi Chef John, I would love to make the Veracruz recipe, but am looking for a substitute for olives. I despise olives, can't even stand the smell of them. It took me years just to break down and use olive oil for cooking. BTW, I have tried your Prime Rib Recipe a couple of times and it is awesome, up there with restaurant quality, for sure!
