Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 red snapper fillets
1 Tbsp olive oil
FOR SALSA:
3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 small onion, diced
6 Spanish olives, diced
1 pepper of your choice, seeded and diced - I prefer jalapeno
1 handful of cilantro leaves, chopped
1 lime, juiced
FOR FISH SEASONING:
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp smoky paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for salsa.
  • 2. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
  • 3. In a large non-stick skillet heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • 4. While the skillet is warming, sprinkle the fillets with the fish seasoning generously on both sides. (I usually have seasoning leftover but it's great on chicken, or shrimp too.)
  • 5. Let the fish cook for 5 minutes on each side.
  • 6. Snapper is a very flaky fish so use a fish spatula to turn them gently. If they break it's not the end of the world... they will still taste amazing!
  • 7. I like to serve the snapper over pasta with the salsa over the top. Any remaining juice from the salsa I spoon over each of the fillets. Enjoy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out dry and bland. The salsa was also very bland.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up overcooking the fish and the salsa was too chunky.

I had a hard time finding red snapper, so I used tilapia instead. It turned out great! The fish was flaky and flavorful and the salsa was very good.
