Description

A delightful dish featuring red snapper fillets in a rich, creamy sauce infused with vibrant Creole spices.


Ingredients

  • 2 red snapper fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until softened.
  3. Stir in the can of diced tomatoes and the Creole seasoning, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Add the red snapper fillets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they become opaque.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream, simmering for another 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For best results, use fresh red snapper and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking. Adjust the Creole seasoning to suit your taste.
