Baked Red Snapper With Garlic

Ingredients

• 2 red snapper fillets, about 6 to 8 ounces each
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium clove garlic, pressed or minced
• 3 or 4 drops Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Creole or Cajun seasoning, or your own favorite seasoning blend, with salt
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon snipped fresh or frozen chives, optional
• 3 to 4 tablespoons plain or seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

Place snapper fillets in a baking dish which has been sprayed with a butter-flavored baking spray.In a skillet, melt butter with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning blend, pepper, parsley, and chives, if using. Cook on low for 2 minutes, just to blend flavors. Brush both sides of fish fillets with the butter and herb mixture. Toss bread crumbs in the remaining butter mixture; sprinkle over the fillets. Bake at 400° for about 12 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets, until fish flakes easily and is no longer translucent.
