Red Snapper
I recently bought a couple of frozen Red Snapper filets and am excited to try cooking with this new type of fish. Does anyone have any recipe suggestions or ideas on how to prepare them?

Absolutely! Red Snapper is a versatile fish with a mild flavor that’s great for various cooking methods. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
-
Baked Red Snapper: Season the filets with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Place them in a baking dish with some sliced tomatoes and asparagus. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
-
Pan-Seared Red Snapper: Heat some butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper and sear it skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and your favorite side, like sautéed greens or rice.
-
Grilled Red Snapper Tacos: Marinate the filets in lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and garlic for about 30 minutes. Grill over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side. Flake the fish into corn tortillas and top with cabbage, avocado, and a drizzle of creamy sauce or salsa.
-
Fish Curry: Cut the filets into chunks and simmer them in coconut milk with curry paste, garlic, ginger, and vegetables like bell peppers and spinach. Serve over jasmine rice for a delicious meal.
-
Fish Ceviche: If you’re feeling adventurous and the fish is fresh, dice it into small pieces and marinate it in lime juice with chopped onions, cilantro, tomatoes, and avocado. It’s a refreshing light dish!
No matter which method you choose, Red Snapper pairs well with citrus, herbs, and various spices. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
