How to Make Alex S Heavenly Snapper Fillets
- Marinate snapper fillets: In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp white wine vinegar. Add the snapper fillets and gently toss to coat. Let marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Sauté vegetables: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Prepare for broiling: Preheat your broiler. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced onions and 1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
- Broil the snapper: Place the marinated snapper fillets on top of the vegetables in the skillet. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the fillets are halfway cooked.
- Finish baking: Top each fillet with 1 tbsp fresh basil leaves. Tightly cover the skillet with foil. Transfer the skillet to the middle rack of a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the snapper is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Serve the snapper fillets immediately, spooning the vegetables and pan juices over the fish. Enjoy with your favorite pasta!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
