Description

Red snapper is covered with a delicious garlic-lemon-dill butter and quickly baked in the oven--a perfect weekday recipe for 2 with little effort.

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) red snapper fillets
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
1 lemon, juiced
1 sprig fresh dill, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Place red snapper filets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
3 Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and saute garlic in the melted butter until softened, about 3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice on top, straining out the seeds.
4 Brush the snapper liberally with garlic butter mixture, coating both pieces and season with salt and pepper of desired.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
