Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons dry white wine
4 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 red snapper fillets

Steps:

  • Put the oil, wine and water into a large heavy-based frying pan (skillet), add the garlic and parsley and season generously. Bring to the boil.
  • Add the fish, cover and steam for about 8 minutes just until tender.
  • Transfer the fish to a warm serving plate, spoon over the cooking liquid and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest red snapper fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a bright pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a fishy smell.
  • Soak the grape leaves in warm water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to soften them and make them more pliable.
  • Season the red snapper fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, if desired.
  • Be careful not to overcook the red snapper. It is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the red snapper immediately with the grape leaves, garlic and caper butter, and lemon wedges.

Conclusion:

Red snapper in grape leaves with garlic and caper butter is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for home cooks of all skill levels. If you are looking for a new way to cook red snapper, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
