Creole Red Snapper

Red Snapper Creole

D. Rattray
This blackened red snapper is cooked with a coating of spicy homemade blackened seasoning and served with a flavorful Creole sauce. Serve this with or without the Creole sauce, or use your own sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 4 red snapper fillets, about 6 to 8 ounces each
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • .
  • Blackened Seasoning
  • 1 heaping tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 heaping teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 heaping teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon leaf thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon leaf oregano

Preparation:

Creole Sauce

Mix the blackened seasoning ingredients well and funnel into a shaker.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush red snapper fillets all over with butter; sprinkle with blackened seasoning. Place, skin side down, in hot skillet; drizzle a little more butter over each fillet. Cook for about 4 minutes, until blackened; turn fillets carefully and drizzle with another small amount of butter. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with Creole sauce (see link above) or as is, with rice and a green vegetable.

Serves 4.

Particularly good., Member fibocomp

VERY good. I used the Creole sauce mentioned utilizing Emeril's Creole seasoning as a component in the sauce (Creole Seasoning is called for in the sauce recipe). One thing I would say is the pan should be cast iron and extremely hot - not medium. Then its maximum 2 minutes per side on the filets or so depending on thickness. Also, use garlic butter instead of normal butter.
