If you don't cook fish often, or don't like fish, this broiled red snapper recipe may be just what the doctor ordered. Normally we don't want to cover up the delicate flavors of the seafood, but in this case, we have no choice. It's not like you can't tell you're eating fish, but close enough.

Cooking spray
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon barbeque sauce
2 (7 ounce) red snapper fillets

Steps:

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and barbeque sauce in a bowl.
Place red snapper fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt. Spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of each fillet and sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
