ALEX'S HEAVENLY SNAPPER FILLETS



Alex's Heavenly Snapper Fillets image

An old friend of mine made this for me and I was impressed and kept the "recipe" all these years but there are no amounts (measurments) given so I will see if Zaar will let me add it. If I have to put ingredient amounts, just keep in mind that I guessed.

Provided by Oolala

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs yellow snapper fillets
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
1/4 cup onion, sliced
fresh basil leaf
butter
olive oil, to coat fish
1/4 cup white wine
white wine vinegar
lemon juice, to taste
cherry tomatoes, halved (or grape tomatoes)

Steps:

  • Rub olive oil on the fish and marinate fish in lemon juice and a drop of white wine vinegar.
  • Let fish marinate for 20-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, saute rest of ingredients in butter except for the onions and basil leaves.
  • Heat broiling pan and place fish in the pan with the onions and tomatoes.
  • Broil until half way done, about 8-10 minute and place basil leaves on top of fish and tightly cover pan with foil.
  • Now bake on middle rack of oven at 400 degrees for another 8-10 minutes.
  • Serve with pasta.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Snapper is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's opaque in the center. Overcooked snapper will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Snapper is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Snapper fillets with herb and caper butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of zesty herbs, salty capers, and rich butter creates a flavorful crust that perfectly complements the mild taste of the snapper. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
