Ingredients
- 2 pieces snapper fillets
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Brush both sides of the sourdough slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Toast the sourdough in the oven for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set this mixture aside.
Step 5
Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels, then brush them with the melted butter on both sides.
Step 6
Place the snapper fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 5-6 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
To assemble, place each snapper fillet on top of a slice of toasted sourdough. Spoon the lemon and herb mixture evenly over both fillets.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
