RED SNAPPER WITH GARLIC-LEMON-DILL BUTTER



Red Snapper with Garlic-Lemon-Dill Butter image

Robust ocean fish seeks tangy, buttery garnish for epicurean adventure. This garnish works well on most types of fish, but it was hatched using red snapper because I had a lemon and a single sprig of dill that needed to be used and the red snapper was the best looking fresh fish in the case. I've done Alaskan sockeye salmon the same way to good effect. Pairs well with pasta or rice, shown with my go-to Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce from this site, and fresh vegetables.

Tips

- Fresher is always better when it comes to fish. If you can, try to use freshly caught red snapper for this recipe. However, if that's not an option, frozen red snapper will also work. Just be sure to thaw it completely before cooking. - The marinade is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to give the fish plenty of time to soak up all of the delicious flavors. At least 30 minutes is ideal, but you can marinate the fish for up to 2 hours if you have the time. - If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fish. This will cause the fish to steam instead of fry, and it will end up soggy. - Serve the fried red snapper fingers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, remoulade, or even just a simple squeeze of lemon can help add extra flavor.

Conclusion

These garlic lime marinated fried red snapper fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The fish is tender and flaky, with a crispy coating that's full of flavor. The marinade helps to infuse the fish with a bright and citrusy flavor, while the breading adds a nice crunch. Serve these fish fingers with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
