VERACRUZ-STYLE RED SNAPPER



Veracruz-Style Red Snapper image

I like red snapper for this, but any white, flaky fish will work. By the way, many Veracruz-style fish recipes call for pickled jalapenos, but I think there's plenty of acidity in this from the lime and tomatoes, so I like the fresh pepper a little more.

Tips:

  • If using frozen red snapper, thaw it completely before cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • To achieve crispy skin, pat the fish dry before searing and use a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Gently flip the fish only once during cooking to prevent it from breaking apart.
  • For added flavor, try marinating the fish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices before cooking.
  • To ensure the tomatoes retain their鮮度, add them to the pan last and cook briefly.
  • For a more vibrant color, use a variety of彩色的 tomatoes, such as cherry, Roma, and heirloom.
  • Serve the red snapper immediately after cooking, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
