Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces skin-on snapper fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 6 pieces plum tomatoes
- 3 cloves fresh garlic cloves
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the snapper fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the snapper fillets skin-side down.
Cook the fillets undisturbed for 4-5 minutes or until the skin is crisp and golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate, skin-side up.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter.
Mince the garlic cloves and halve the plum tomatoes. Add them to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and toss gently with the tomato mixture until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Return the snapper fillets to the skillet, placing them on top of the tomatoes and spinach. Squeeze the lemon juice over the fish.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish and serve immediately. Enjoy your Sauteed Snapper with Plum Tomatoes and Spinach!
