Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup White wine
- 0.75 cup Chicken or seafood stock
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Pat the red snapper fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the fillets lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the snapper fillets skin-side up and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a clean plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, white wine, and chicken or seafood stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and Cajun seasoning to the sauce, stirring well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the snapper fillets to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the fish and meld the flavors.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with rice, crusty bread, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
