Instructions
Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in 3 cloves minced garlic, fennel, and minced shallot. Cook and stir until the fennel has begun to soften, about 5 minutes.
Transfer vegetables to a bowl, and stir in chopped parsley. Reserve cooking oil.
Season the fish all over with salt and pepper to taste, then stuff snapper with fennel mixture. Use kitchen twine to tie the snapper together in three places.
Place the snapper into the prepared baking dish, drizzle with the white wine, lemon juice, and reserved oil.
Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of garlic.
Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is no longer translucent, and flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Fish can be paired with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 26 dollars per bottle.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
A pale straw yellow. Clean, crisp fragrance with intense yet elegant hints of quince. Fresh, harmonious fruit set off by slight sweetness with a long finish full of delicate, tangy flavor.
