Found in the magazine Cooking Light Fresh Food Fast. It is a light and easy meal. You could change the fish to any white fish and I'm sure it would work also.

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lemons
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (6 ounce) red snapper
cooking spray
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
chopped fresh thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Cut 1 lemon into 8 wedges. Grate rind of remaining lemon to measure 1 teaspoon; set aside. Reserve second lemon for another use.
  • Combine salt, paprika and pepper; sprinkle over fish. Arrange fish and lemon wedges on a rimmmed baking sheet coated with cooking spray (I cover the sheet with foil then spray for easy clean-up). Bake at 425 degrees for 13 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
  • While fish bakes, combine 1 teaspoon grated rind, butter and 1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh thyme in a small bowl.
  • Place fish on individual serving plates; top each fillet with herb butter. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped fresh thyme, if desired.

RED SNAPPER WITH GARLIC-LEMON-DILL BUTTER



Red Snapper with Garlic-Lemon-Dill Butter image

Robust ocean fish seeks tangy, buttery garnish for epicurean adventure. This garnish works well on most types of fish, but it was hatched using red snapper because I had a lemon and a single sprig of dill that needed to be used and the red snapper was the best looking fresh fish in the case. I've done Alaskan sockeye salmon the same way to good effect. Pairs well with pasta or rice, shown with my go-to Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce from this site, and fresh vegetables.
