Pan Roasted Snapper With Crab image

An amazingly flavorful dish perfect for Lent. If you cannot find red snapper, substitute striped bass, mahi-mahi, black sea bass (flakier texture), grouper (firmer texture), pompano, lemonfish or catfish.

I would have liked more crab in the sauce, but overall this was a good recipe.

The sauce was a bit too rich for my taste, but the fish and crab were cooked perfectly.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The snapper was mild and flaky, and the crab sauce was creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing! The fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The crab added a nice touch of flavor and the sauce was delicious.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! My family loved the delicate flavor of the snapper and the creamy crab sauce. It's definitely going into my regular rotation of dinner recipes.

This pan-roasted snapper with crab was an absolute delight! The fish was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist, while the crab added a touch of sweetness and richness. The sauce was also incredible, with a perfect balance of flavors.
