  • Marinate the fish: Marinating the fish in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the fish for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid for red snapper escovitch is typically made with a combination of vinegar, water, and spices. You can add other ingredients to the cooking liquid, such as onions, carrots, and celery, to add even more flavor.
  • Cook the fish until it is just cooked through: Red snapper is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it until it is just cooked through. Overcooked red snapper will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish with a flavorful sauce: Red snapper escovitch is typically served with a sauce made with tomatoes, onions, and peppers. You can also serve the fish with a simple vinaigrette or aioli sauce.
