Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pat the red snapper fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Season the fillets with sea salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lime juice, orange zest, minced garlic, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the citrus mixture. Toss to coat.
Spoon the citrus-tomato mixture evenly over the red snapper fillets.
Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and garnish.
Serve the baked red snapper warm with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
