Ligurian Snapper Roast with Pumpkin and Sage Brown Butter

Cuisine

Italian

Recipe Description

Australia loves a meaty, heavy roast, but if you’re sick of reaching for the lamb leg, try this lighter-style seafood option, which is still wintry and warming, and works as part of a bigger spread, or is great as a midweek option. I love to use small and sweet ligurian olives, grown in northern Italy, and their fruitiness pairs well with the pumpkin and earthy sage-infused butter. 

Prep Time 20 Minutes

Cooking Time

Difficulty Easy

Ingredient List

½ pumpkin (squash), cut into slices 1 cm (½ in) thick
a dash of olive oil
10 pitted black olives
2 garlic cloves, halved
½ bunch sage, leaves picked, roughly chopped
1 × 1200 g (14 oz) whole snapper (or another white fish of preference)
100 g (3½ oz) butter
⅓ bunch parsley, leaves picked, roughly chopped
⅓ bunch dill, roughly chopped

Recipe Steps

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper. In a large bowl combine the pumpkin and oil, then spread out evenly on the prepared baking tray and roast for 20 minutes. 

After 20 minutes add the olives and garlic with the half of the sage and season with salt, pepper and more olive oil. Create a gap in the centre of the tray and put the snapper in the centre. Bake for 15 minutes. 

While the fish is cooking, heat the butter in a small saucepan over a high heat and whisk until it foams and smells nutty, then throw in the remaining sage, remove from the heat and set aside. 

When the fish is done cooking, serve it immediately. Garnish the tray with the parsley, dill and sage brown butter sauce and serve from the tray.
