Description

Creole Red Snapper is a flavorful dish that combines the mild sweetness of red snapper with a spicy, savory Creole seasoning. Creole cuisine originates from Louisiana and is known for its bold, zesty flavors, often incorporating a blend of spices, vegetables, and rich sauces.

Ingredients
  • 4 each of Red Snapper filets (approx. 6 ounce each)
  • 1 Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup of yellow onion (finely diced)
  • 1/4 cup of green bell pepper (finely diced)
  • 1 clove of garlic (minced)
  • 1 14.5 oz. can of whole tomatoes (undrained, chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons of red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • dash hot sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot)
  • fresh basil sprigs (garnish)
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over med/high heat. 

  2. Add onion and green pepper and stir until just firm-tender and onion is translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

  3. Add tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, dried basil and bring to a boil.

  4. Salt and pepper both sides of the red snapper filets and add them to the skillet. Reduce heat to a simmer. Don't attempt to move or flip filets, instead spoon the simmering mixtures over the filets, then cover and continue to simmer for 12 minutes or until filets become flaky.

  5. Carefully plate the filets on 4 plates, and spoon the skillet sauce over the filets. Garnish with basil sprigs (if desired).
