Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces snapper fillets
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Brush both sides of the sourdough slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Toast the sourdough in the oven for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set this mixture aside.
Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels, then brush them with the melted butter on both sides.
Place the snapper fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 5-6 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
To assemble, place each snapper fillet on top of a slice of toasted sourdough. Spoon the lemon and herb mixture evenly over both fillets.
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
