Lean snapper in a buttery lemon-caper sauce is a simple main dish, ready in just 30 minutes. Thaw fish, if frozen. Measure thickness of fish. Rinse fish under cold running water; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Place fish pieces in skillet, skin sides down.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip snapper into marinade to coat both sides and cook in the hot skillet until opaque and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour remaining marinade into the skillet. Reduce heat and simmer until fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the red snapper fillets. The fish will be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done. If your red snapper fillets still have the skin attached, apply the breadcrumbs to the skinless side (skin-side down).
This recipe is also great because of how healthy it is. One serving is under 450 calories (yes, even with butter!), and red snapper is a variety that has all nine amino acids and a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids. So what are you waiting for??
