Pan-Seared Red Snapper with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared red snapper fillets served with a bright lemon-herb sauce alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
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 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the red snapper fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the snapper fillets in the pan and sear for 4 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish cooks, steam the asparagus spears for 5 minutes until they reach a vibrant green and crisp-tender texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley to create the sauce.
Plate the cooked quinoa and steamed asparagus, top with the seared snapper, and drizzle the fresh lemon-herb sauce over the fish before serving.
