Red Snapper Tikin Xic – Anthony Salemme
By Anthony Salemme
A beautiful summer seafood meal to make for guests.
Pronounced “teekeen sheek” in Yucatec Mayan and meaning “dry fish”, is a fish dish prepared in the Meso-American style. I have had this many times visiting the Yucatán in the winter.
6 red snapper fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2 jalapeños, stemmed and seeded, chopped fine
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
4 ounces (or 6 tablespoons) achiote paste (can be found in the Goya aisle)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup white onion, sliced thin
3 plum tomatoes sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black
In a bowl, dissolve the achiote with half the lime and orange juice and vinegar then add the garlic and oil and stir to make a paste. You can use an immersion blender for this.
Rub the paste on both sides of the fish.
Lay out 6 pieces of parchment paper and place one portion of Snapper on each top with onions, jalapeño and sliced tomatoes. Fold the parchment over the fish to make a pouch.
Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or you can do this on the BBQ but additionally wrap each pouch with foil.
