Pan-Seared Red Snapper with Zesty Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared red snapper fillets served over fluffy quinoa and crisp asparagus, finished with a vibrant and zesty lemon-herb drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Red snapper fillet
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the red snapper fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat half of the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the snapper fillets in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact; sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the fish and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish sears, steam the asparagus spears for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
In a small glass bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped parsley to create the zesty sauce.
Arrange the warm cooked quinoa and steamed asparagus on a plate, top with the pan-seared snapper, and spoon the lemon-herb sauce over the fish just before serving.
