Tips:

  • Make sure the fillets are boneless and skinless. This will make them easier to eat and will help the crumb coating adhere better.
  • Use a light hand when coating the fish in the crumbs. You don't want the coating to be too thick, or it will overpower the flavor of the fish.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to cook the fish. This will help prevent the fish from sticking to the pan and will make it easier to flip.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat. This will help ensure that the fish cooks evenly throughout without burning.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, potatoes, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Crumb-coated red snapper is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is mild in flavor and pairs well with a variety of sides. The crumb coating adds a crispy texture and a nutty flavor to the fish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
