A fragrant herbed butter and roasted lemon slices complement the sweet, nutty flavor of red snapper for a super-fresh dish. Complete the meal with colorful Sautéed Zucchini and Bell Peppers. Ingredients:
2 lemons |
cooking spray |
4 (6-ounce) red snapper or other firm white fish fillets |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, basil, or parsley) |
fresh herb sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Cut 1 lemon into 8 slices. Place slices, in pairs, on a rimmed baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Grate remaining lemon to get 1 teaspoon lemon rind; set aside. Reserve lemon for another use.
3. Place 1 fillet on top of each pair of lemon slices. Combine salt, paprika, and pepper; sprinkle evenly over fish. Bake at 425° for 13 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
4. While fish bakes, combine reserved lemon rind, butter, and herbs in a small bowl.
5. Place fish and lemon slices on individual serving plates; top each fillet with herbed butter, spreading to melt, if desired. Garnish with herb sprigs, if desired.
