Instructions
Creating the incredible Red Snapper with Creamy Creole Sauce is straightforward with these steps:
1. Prepare the Fillets: Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Fish: Add the red snapper fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Once done, transfer the fillets to a plate and cover to keep warm.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream, Creole seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Combine: Return the cooked snapper fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Let them heat through for a couple of minutes.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish for added freshness and color.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
