Fried Red Snapper w/ Hash Browns and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Fried Red Snapper w/ Hash Browns and Sliced Carrots





For Breakfast I lightly fried up some thin slices of Boar's Head Honey Smoked Ham. Then toasted a
Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, layered the Ham on a slice of the Muffin and topped it with a slice of Sargento Ultra Thin Longhorn Colby Cheese. Along with my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Well it was above zero this morning, first time in a few days! Lot of sunshine today but not very warm, in the teens still. Indoors today not a lot going on. Finished up a load of laundry for Mom and did some light cleaning around the house. For dinner tonight  it's Fried Red Snapper w/ Hash Browns and Sliced Carrots






My good friends (Jim and Linda) just returned from Florida and brought me a small cooler of
Grouper and Red Snapper fillets they caught while down there, it doesn’t get much better! I love Gulf Coast Fish, always such a fresh taste to them. To prepare them, I first rinsed the Snapper off in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt. Then put the fillet in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag and added Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Fish Fri. Then shook the bag until the Fillet was well covered, removed from the bag shaking off the excess. I then pan fried it in a Cast Iron Skillet, that I had preheated, in Canola Oil. I fried it skin side down for 4 minutes and then flipped it over to the flesh side and fried it another 3 minutes. Golden brown and nothing but delicious! The fresh taste of the Snapper combined with the Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Fish Fri is a perfect pairing.







For one side I prepared some Simply Potatoes Hash Browns, I always use Simply Potatoes Hash Browns. Fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned them with Sea Salt, Ground Pepper, and Parsley. I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
