I just LOVE Red Snapper


Here are a couple of my favorite recipes:


Mexican Lime Snapper

1 lb. red Snapper
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
2 Tbsp. butter
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
4 oz. can diced green chilies
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
1/8 tsp. salt
2 cloves fresh garlic, chopped fine
1/8 tsp. black pepper
Lime slices

Sauté onion in butter until tender.
Add remaining ingredients except fish and lime slices.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
Place fish in skillet, spoon sauce over fish.
Cover and simmer for 10 more minutes or until fish flakes easily.
Serve with lime slices as a garnish.
This one is the best!
