Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) chopped green onions
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground ginger
- 2 (113 g) red snapper fillets
Instructions
- Collect all the necessary items.
- In a shallow dish, combine the green onions, lemon juice, rice vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground ginger; set this mixture aside.
- Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and dry them thoroughly using paper towels.
- Place a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Submerge the snapper in the marinade, ensuring both sides are evenly covered.
- In the heated pan, cook the snapper until it becomes opaque and lightly golden, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- Add the remaining marinade to the pan. Lower the heat and continue cooking until the fish easily flakes with a fork, roughly another 2 to 3 minutes.
Notes
- Marinate the red snapper fillets for a minimum of 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Ensure fillets are thoroughly dried before cooking for a crispy outer texture.
- Adjust cooking time based on fillet thickness to avoid overcooking.
