On February 17, 2006 in Different Dinner Project, Recipes
4 six ounce snapper fillets
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until hot.
- Combine seasoning on a plate and press snapper fillets in it to coat.
- Add the snapper fillets to the skillet and pour butter over them.
- Cook until the underside begins to char, 2-3 minutes; then flip and cook the other side.
- Season with salt to taste and serve.
Makes 4 servings
Warning: Since butter has a low smoke point this is likely to smoke up your kitchen a bit if you don't have the fan on high.


I’ve been craving snapper for months now. It’s very hard to find, and when I find it, it’s too expensive to buy. This looks fabulous, though–it’s making my mouth water.
I’d forgotten I’d even eaten snapper. Oh dear.
