Herb-Crusted Pan Seared Red Snapper with Lemon Butter Sauce
Enjoy a delicate, herb-crusted red snapper fillet perfectly pan-seared to a golden finish and drizzled with a zesty lemon butter sauce. This dish is complemented by a side of tender steamed asparagus, making it a light yet satisfying meal with a burst of fresh flavors.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Red Snapper Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme, Dill)
2 tbsp Lemon Juice & Zest
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 cup Asparagus
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the red snapper fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine chopped fresh herbs, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Press this mixture onto the flesh side of the snapper to form the herb crust.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the snapper, herb side down, and pan-sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
Flip the fillet gently and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a small saucepan, melt unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and let it cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon juice to create the lemon butter sauce; keep warm on low heat.
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the red snapper alongside the steamed asparagus and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the fish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors.
