  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 red snapper fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (preferably red or green)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create Red Snapper with Creamy Creole Sauce:

1. Prepare the Fish: Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and hot.
3. Sear the Fish: Add the seasoned red snapper fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute until fragrant.
5. Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the Creole seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
6. Reintroduce the Fish: Gently place the seared red snapper back into the skillet with the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the fish and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
8. Serve: Serve the dish warm, accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
