Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets of red snapper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the pan: Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You’ll want it nice and hot but not smoking.
- Sauté the veggies: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until soft and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Season and cook the fish: Pat the red snapper fillets dry, season with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning. Push veggies to the side and place fish in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Make the sauce: Once the fish is cooked, reduce heat to low, pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve with style: Plate the fish, pour the creamy sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with additional spices or a splash of lemon juice for extra flavor.
