You should be using stored_fields or _source instead of fields, i.e.

stored_fields: ['snippet.publishedAt']

or

_source: ['snippet.publishedAt']

UPDATE:

From 7.10 onwards, a new fields features is now available.

For ES7.3 (current version as writing) you can pass a _source field which can contain a comma separated list of fields.

_source: 'snippet.publishedAt'
