Sauteed Red Snapper image

The mild, slightly sweet flavor and flaky texture of red snapper takes well to light seasoning and a quick saute. You can also make this dish with black sea bass. The skin of both fish is edible and crisps nicely in a skillet.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 red snapper fillets (each 10 to 12 ounces), with skin
Coarse salt, to taste
Cayenne pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Cut each snapper fillet in half crosswise. Season flesh with salt and cayenne pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot (but not smoking). Place snapper fillets, skin sides down, in skillet, pressing on fish with a spatula for 1 minute to prevent curling. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip, and cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more.
