STUFFED SNAPPER WITH ORANGE AND LIME
This recipe can be made with snapper fillets rolled up or baked whole snapper. I have made it both ways, I made it with fillets last night. The stuffing amount will work with a whole snapper. It will vary when using individual fillets, depending on the size of the fillet you buy. I made the stuffing for 4 fillets of about 300g each fillet, because sometimes all you can buy are huge fillets, I buy 2, stuff and roll them and then just chop in half to serve.

Tips:
- To ensure the snapper is cooked evenly, make sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking.
- To prevent the snapper from drying out, baste it with the orange and lime juice mixture every 15 minutes during baking.
- If you don't have a baking dish that is large enough to fit the whole snapper, you can cut it into smaller pieces before baking.
- Be careful not to overcook the snapper, as it will become tough and dry. The fish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.
- To make the orange and lime sauce, use fresh oranges and limes for the best flavor. You can also add a bit of honey or agave nectar to the sauce for a sweeter flavor.
- Serve the stuffed snapper with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
