Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 2 pounds skin-on red snapper fillets
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch ground red chile pepper, or to taste
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1
Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Place red snapper skin-side down in the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with garlic, garlic salt, and red pepper. Spread cilantro evenly over the fish; squeeze lime evenly on top.

Step 2
Marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt butter and pour evenly over the fish.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve with juices spooned over the fish, if desired.

Cook’s Note:

Substitute Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's(R)) for the ground red pepper, if desired.
