INSTRUCTIONS
For the Red Snapper:
Season the filets with salt & pepper and lightly score the skin. Season zucchini with salt, pepper and olive oil and place on the bottom of a lightly oiled baking sheet. Arrange the filets on top of the zucchini.
Mix the olives, tomatoes, garlic, oregano, red onion and some olive oil in a small bowl and scatter over the fish. Pour the white wine over the snapper and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fish. Slice the other lemon in half and place on the sheet pan facing up. Place the sheet pan under a broiler on high for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and gets a little crispy.
Serve on a platter with the vegetables on top. Dress with the sauce and garnish with the lemons.
For the Crushed Potato Salad:
Place potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water and 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10-12 minutes. Strain the potatoes and put them back in the pot. Crush them with a fork or potato masher, leaving them slightly chunky. Season with extra virgin olive oil, parsley, salt & pepper and keep warm.
