Pan-Seared Red Snapper with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared red snapper fillets served with a bright lemon-herb ghee sauce alongside crisp asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a satisfying meal with a perfectly crispy skin.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Red snapper fillet
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tbsp Ghee
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp 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 dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the snapper fillets in the skillet skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.
Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque.
Remove the fish from the pan and set aside; in the same pan, add the asparagus and cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted ghee, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley.
Plate the cooked quinoa, top with the snapper and vegetables, and drizzle the lemon-herb sauce over the fish before serving.
