Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large fresh mango, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 small jalapeño, finely minced (optional)
Instructions
Pat the red snapper fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the red snapper fillets to the skillet, skin side down if applicable.
Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on one side until the edges appear golden and crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the mango salsa, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using) in a medium bowl. Stir gently to mix and taste for seasoning. Adjust by adding more lime juice or a pinch of salt, if desired.
Serve the cooked red snapper fillets on plates and spoon the mango salsa generously over the top of each piece. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, fresh dish!
