Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 500 grams Green beans, trimmed
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Capers, rinsed and drained
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Season the red snapper fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on both sides. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the fillets. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped olives, cherry tomatoes, parsley, capers, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the green beans and sauté for 3-4 minutes, seasoning with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Bake the red snapper fillets in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
To serve, place a portion of green beans on each plate. Top with a red snapper fillet and spoon the olive salsa generously over the fish.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
