Steps:
- Pat fish fillets with paper towel. Lightly sprinkle each side with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Exact measurements are not given as you only want to lightly sprinkle these seasonings on each side of the fish.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the fillets, SKIN SIDE UP, and slow simmer for 3-4 minutes. Flip fish over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Use medium heat, not high heat. You don't want the fish to be sizzling too hot or the butter will burn.
- Remove the fish from the pan and set aside. Add the remaining butter, juice of one lemon, capers, and parsley flakes. Slow simmer for about 30 seconds, then return the fish to the pan. Spoon the sauce over fish and heat just until hot - about 30 seconds. Transfer fish to a plate and serve with your favorite side dish.

- Season the fish fillets generously. This will help to enhance their flavor. A simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and paprika works well.
- Sear the fish fillets in a hot skillet. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Baste the fish fillets with browned butter and capers. This will add a delicious, nutty flavor to the fish.
- Serve the fish fillets immediately. Snapper is best served hot out of the skillet. You can garnish the fish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges.
