Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add a generous amount of salt; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain; using a potato masher or potato ricer, mash potatoes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 5 tablespoons butter, milk, lemon juice, zest, and capers. Heat until butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch.
- Fold the milk mixture and parsley into the mashed potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Dot with remaining tablespoon butter just before serving.
RED SNAPPER WITH GARLIC-LEMON-DILL BUTTER
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:
- For the freshest snapper, ask your fishmonger for wild-caught fish that has been sustainably sourced.
- If you don't have capers on hand, you can substitute green olives or chopped pickles.
- To save time, you can use frozen baby potatoes instead of fresh ones.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
- Be sure to season the snapper fillets generously with salt and pepper before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the snapper fillets. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve the snapper immediately with the lemon-caper sauce and baby potatoes.
