How to Make Baked Red Snapper In Dill Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the dill sauce ingredients: 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or sour cream), 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons minced green onions, 1 tablespoon dried dill, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place 2-3 lemon slices in the center of a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  4. Top with 1 tablespoon of sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon of fresh dill.
  5. Place a 6-ounce red snapper fillet (or halibut fillet) on top of the lemon and herbs.
  6. Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Fold the foil over to create a sealed packet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Carefully open the foil packet (be cautious of steam).
  10. Spread a spoonful of the dill sauce onto two plates.
  11. Place the baked fish on top of the sauce.
  12. Garnish with remaining sliced green onions, lemon slices, and fresh dill sprigs.
