Recipe: Pepper-Lime Red Snapper

I made this for dinner on Thursday night. We had it topped with Herdez salsa and I also put parmesan cheese on mine. Bobby had his with seasoned rice (keep reading for instructions) and I had mine with buttered kabocha.

Pepper-Lime Red Snapper

20 red snapper

Ingredients (serves 2)

  • 2 red snapper fillets
  • juice from 1/2 lime
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated pepper
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, grated
  • topping: salsa, parmesan

Directions

  1. Combine the fillets, lime juice, pepper, salt, and grated garlic in a bowl. Mix around so the fish is well coated. Let it sit 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator so the flavors really sink in.
  2. Heat a pan on high heat. Spray with cooking oil or PAM. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes on the first side, covered. Flip them over and cook them another 3-4 minutes uncovered.
  3. Serve with fresh salsa and your cheese of choice (optional, of course). Seasoned rice is a good side.

Seasoned rice: add salt and pepper to your rice (1 cup dry) while it’s cooking (I do mine in the rice cooker – so simple). In the last 3-4 minutes toss in chopped carrots and celery. At the end, add 1 tablespoon of butter and mix it around until it melts and blends in.

Tomorrow morning I’m going to to San Francisco for a blogger meetup with Kath and maybe Jenna! I also have another awesome announcement. You’ll have to wait to hear about it though 🙂 Bobby has class all day so I’m going to try to get lots of work done. Go enjoy your weekend!

    Ok, I’ve been waiting and waiting for Fall to come with their squash so I can try kabocha. My store now has their squash out, but no kabocha! There’s something that looks VERY similar, thuogh — a buttercup squash? Have you tried and do you recommend??

    Also, have fun at your blogger meet-up!!!!! 🙂

  12. Have fun Maggie – let me know what you think of Kath – I’ve met several people who have met her and wonder what your thoughts are! 😀

  13. This is great Maggie as I’ve been trying to do more fish lately. So easy too.

    Please tell Jenna I said “hello” if you see her, and please tell Kath that I hope to meet her someday.

    I went to Whole Foods to buy coconut milk kefir yesterday, but they were out of the plain and so I bought raw honey instead…why why why did I do that. Why is it so good?

    Awesome announcement? Why torture us so? 😉
