INGREDIENTS
6 oz Red Snapper Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh Dill (chopped)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
Juice and zest of 1/2 Lemon
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the red snapper fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Mix the chopped fresh parsley and dill in a small bowl along with a pinch of salt. Lightly press the herb mixture onto the top side of the fillet to create a crust.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillet, herb side up, and sear for about 3 minutes.
Gently flip the fillet and add the minced garlic to the pan. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the pan and, if desired, add a bit of lemon zest.
Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the warm lemon butter sauce over the fish to enhance its flavor.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, enjoying the delicate balance of fresh herbs and zesty lemon.
