Crispy Pan-Seared Red Snapper with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared red snapper fillets served with a bright lemon-herb drizzle alongside tender roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a vibrant and nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz red snapper fillets
0.75 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 whole lemon
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Prepare the quinoa according to package directions or use pre-cooked quinoa warmed through.
Pat the red snapper fillets completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 0.5 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place snapper skin-side down in the pan and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even crisping.
Sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until opaque.
In a separate pan, sauté the asparagus and halved cherry tomatoes with the remaining 0.25 tbsp olive oil until tender-crisp.
Whisk together the zest and juice of half the lemon with chopped parsley.
Plate the snapper over the quinoa and vegetables, finishing with the zesty lemon-herb drizzle and remaining lemon wedges.
