Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece sliced lemon
Instructions
Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the red snapper fillets, skin-side down, to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Pour the white wine into the skillet and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly, then stir in the lemon juice.
Return the red snapper fillets to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to reheat.
Garnish with fresh parsley and sliced lemon before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or rice.
