Best Red Snapper Recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. fresh red snapper fillet

1 red bell pepper, diced small

1 small yellow onion, diced small

6 tablespoons butter

kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper

TOPPING:

1/4 cup all purpose panko

1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped fine

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray bottom of baking dish (13 x 9 pyrex) with cooking spray.

Sprinkle the chopped red pepper and onion in the bottom of your pan. Season fillets generously with salt and pepper than lay them on top of the vegetables.

Slice the butter into slivers and cover fish with half. Add remainder to the bottom of the baking dish.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness with fork (flakey).

Meanwhile, make topping. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.

When fish is done, turn on your broiler. Spread the topping over the fillets. IMPORTANT: Spoon the buttery liquid from bottom of your baking dish on top of the topping…making it moist. (Tilt pan if it’s easier).

Place the fish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the top is a beautiful golden brown. DO NOT BURN!

To serve, place fish portion on a plate, then scatter the cooked vegetables on top.
