Notes
- Store leftover Baked Red Snapper in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it will stay good for up to 3 days. To freeze, store the cooked snapper in your freezer for up to 2 months; however, freezing may affect its texture.
- To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm gently in the oven at 275°F (135°C) until heated through. Avoid using a microwave as it can unevenly heat and change the texture of the fish.
