Ingredients

• 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 0.75 cup Chicken or seafood stock
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Step 1

Pat the red snapper fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the fillets lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the snapper fillets skin-side up and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a clean plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, white wine, and chicken or seafood stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the lemon juice and Cajun seasoning to the sauce, stirring well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Return the snapper fillets to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the fish and meld the flavors.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with rice, crusty bread, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
