Delicious Baked Red Snapper with Garlic


I've been trying to add more fish to our diet. My daughter who is 6 loves it too so I am always on a mission to create different ways to cook it. I bought beautiful Red Snapper and created this recipe which turned out incredible. Alana, my daughter ate her entire plate and asked for seconds, it was that good! The best thing about this recipe is how easy it is to put together and the results are DELICIOUS!

Ingredients:

2 - 3 Red Snapper fillets, about 6 to 8 ounces each
4 Tablespoons Butter
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
3 to 4 drops of Worcestershire Sauce
Juice of half Lemon
Sprinkling of Cajun Seasoning or to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Chopped Fresh Parsley - 1 small bunch
1 Teaspoon of Fresh Chives (Optional)
3 - 4 Tablespoons of Seasoned Bread Crumbs
2 Tablespoons of Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

Place Snapper Fillets in a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. In a skillet, melt butter with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun Seasoning,, pepper, parsley and chives if using. Cook on low for 2 minutes to blend flavors. Squeeze lemon over fish. Brush both sides with butter and herb mixture.

Toss bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in the remaining butter mixture, sprinkle over fish. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Bake until fish flakes easily and is no longer translucent in the center. The flesh will be white.
