Easy Baked Red Snapper Recipe
Report
Red snapper is a versatile fish that can be enjoyed grilled, pan-fried, steamed, baked, or deep-fried. Our favorite way to cook snapper is to bake it with lemon, garlic, and butter. It cooks quickly, making it an ideal choice for busy weeknights.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs red snapper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional minced parsley and capers for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and let it cook for 1 minute. Zest the lemon and add it to the butter.
- Thinly slice the zested lemon and place the slices in the bottom of a baking dish. Save any extra slices for the top of the fish.
- Pat the red snapper dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the fillets on top of the lemon slices. Spoon or brush the garlic butter over the fish.
