Dinner: Snapper Escabèche with Charred Scallions

Ingredients

8 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for grill
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
0 freshly ground pepper
4 (6-ounce) skin-on snapper fillets
1 bunch scallions
Parsley leaves with tender stems (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Combine onion, vinegar, and 6 tablespoons oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set marinade aside.
Rub snapper all over with 1 tablespoon oil total; season with salt and pepper. Grill, skin side down, until lightly charred and almost cooked through, 4 –6 minutes (skin should release easily; if it sticks, grill another minute or two). Turn; grill until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Place skin side up in a baking dish.
Pour reserved marinade over hot snapper and let sit at least 10 minutes (the longer it sits, the more intensely flavored it will be).
Meanwhile, toss scallions on a baking sheet with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning often, until lightly charred and wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool; coarsely chop.
To serve, spoon marinade over snapper and top with scallions and parsley.
