Baked Red Snapper With Garlic w/ Asparagus, Golden Sweet Corn, and...


Dinner Tonight: Baked Red Snapper With Garlic w/ Asparagus, Golden Sweet Corn, and Whole Grain Bread.




 They had a fantastic selection of Red Snapper Fillets at Kroger's Seafood Department this morning. So needless to say it was Red Snapper for dinner tonight, Baked Red Snapper With Garlic w/ Asparagus, Golden Sweet Corn, and Whole Grain Bread. i tried a new recipe for the Red Snapper, Baked Red Snapper With Garlic. Place the snapper fillets in a baking dish which has been sprayed with Pam Baking Spray. In a skillet, melt butter with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning blend, pepper, parsley, and chives, if using. Cook on low for 2 minutes, just to blend flavors. Brush both sides of fish fillets with the butter and herb mixture. Toss bread crumbs in the remaining butter mixture; sprinkle over the fillets. Bake at 400° for about 12 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets, until fish flakes easily and is no longer translucent. The full recipe and instructions are listed at the bottom of the post. I have a new favorite Red Snapper recipe! This turned out lip smacking delicious. The butter, spices, and bread crumbs combine to make the Red Snapper burst with flavor. This is a keeper recipe.

For side dishes I had Asparagus, the leftover Golden Sweet Corn, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. The Asparagus comes from Kroger Produce and it come's in a microwavable steaming bag. Heat for 2 - 3 minutes and it's done, about 2 servings per bag and it's 20 calories and 7 carbs. The Sweet Corn was leftover from last night, I just reheated it in the microwave. For dessert a Jello Sugarless Chocolate pudding.
