Happy Wednesday!!!!
It is SO beautiful outside today!! We started our morning off with a very long and productive run..we stopped in a patch of grass and I did some lunges while the boys played. This morning felt like such an answered prayer.. between the glorious sunshine and the NO fighting from my two toddlers it truly seemed like a a quaricle ( quarantine miracle ..yes I made that up). I received so many DM's about my snapper sauce on instagram the other day so I am formally writing this recipe up on my blog!!!
There is something about snapper that is my very very favorite.. I love how fresh it tastes and it works so perfectly with almost any rendition of a butter sauce. I am so spoiled because my parents have a coastal vacation home and my dad offshore fishes weekly.. so during this quarantine they have been sending me fresh snapper home with our mutual neighbor ( who lives near me and also has a home there too) of course store bought is fine!!! But who doesn't LOVE fish from ocean to table!!!!
Ingredients:
2 large snapper filets
1 stick of butter ( can sub olive oil)
4 cloves minced garlic
juice of a lemon
freshly torn basil ( small handful)
1 handful grape tomatoes ( halved)
salt and pepper
cooked angel hair pasta
grated parmesan cheese
Method:
In a saucepan add your butter and allow it to melt. Next add in the garlic, basil and tomatoes..I also add in a dash of white wine for extra flavor. Allow this to simmer and let the garlic fully flower and the tomatoes bust. Next Lay out your snapper on a lined baking sheet- take off any excess moisture with a paper towel. Salt and pepper the snapper on both sides. Next take your sauce and pour over the filets. Bake in the oven at 400 for twenty minutes. Once your fish is done.. take your leftover sauce ( that is pooling in your baking dish) and pour right into your cooked angel hair pasta. Squeeze lemon juice over the fish and sprinkle everything with parmasean cheese.
SO delicious!!!!
