We started eating fish at least weekly (not counting what comes from the Harris Teeter sushi counter) and it has really made our meals more healthy. I noticed that the calories are much less and you can get full without feeling overly full. I used to be a little scared of cooking fish, but then I figured out that you can use the same three recipes for pretty much all kinds. This recipe is about half from Google and half from my imagination/fridge-stock. Unfortunately… we ate this so quickly that I did not have time to take a picture.
2 red snapper filets (I cut one big filet in half)
4 – 6 tablespoons butter (depends on whether you are an Ellie Kreiger or a Paula Deen)
2 medium clove garlic minced
3 or 4 drops Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (Emeril’s is the best I think)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Dash of sea salt
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs (eyeball this)
2 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
– Preheat over to 400 degrees
– Spray baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray
– Place snapper filets in the dish and cover with salt/pepper
– Place olive oil, butter (not melted), garlic, cajun seasoning and Worcestershire in a microwave-safe dish and cook for 1-2 minutes. Once the butter is melted and the garlic is infused in the mixture, take it out and stir
– Brush butter mixture generously over the snapper filets
– Add the panko, parley, and cheese to the butter mixture. Stir and add panko as necessary to give it a stuffing consistency
– Cover the tops of the fish with the stuffing
– Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is no longer clear and flakes easily
