Red Snapper with Creamy Creole Sauce: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 30 minute

Ingredients

– 4 red snapper fillets
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Lemon wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Red Snapper with Creamy Creole Sauce can be simple by following these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Snapper: 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-high heat.
3. Cook the Fish: Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned red snapper fillets to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add Cream and Spices: Pour in the heavy cream, then sprinkle the Creole seasoning and lemon juice over the mixture. Stir to combine and let simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Combine with Fish: Return the cooked red snapper fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over them. Allow the fish to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added pop of color and flavor.
8. Serve: Plate the red snapper, generously drizzled with the creamy sauce, and add lemon wedges to the side.

Following these steps will lead you to a delightful dish that showcases the best of Creole flavors!
