Blackened Red Snapper With Peach Salsa Food

BLACKENED RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Make the salsa: Mix all salsa ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
• Make the blackened seasoning: Add cayenne pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, and salt into a medium-sized bowl.
• Dry fish with a paper towel.
• Generously coat the fish with blackened seasoning.
• Heat Olive Oil in pan on medium-high heat.
• Cook fish for approximately 4 minutes on each side. The fish is cooked when it easily flakes with a fork.
• Top cooked fish with peach salsa.
• Enjoy! This dish goes great with asparagus and rice!

BLACKENED RED SNAPPER WITH PEACH SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat sauté pan on medium heat. Pour in one tablespoon of grape seed oil.
• While oil is heating, rinse and pat dry fish. Place fish on plate and pour over remaining 1 tablespoon of grape seed oil. Then sprinkle on blackening seasoning, dividing among the two fillets, seasoning both front and back.
• Place fish fillets in pan. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, flipping once. The red snapper should have a nice blackened crust on both sides. The internal temperature should 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cut snapper if needed into 4 equal pieces. Plate each snapper fillet and top with a generous portion of peach salsa (about 1/4 - 1/2 cup salsa for each filet).

BLACKENED RED SNAPPER WITH FRESH SALSA

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for salsa.
• 2. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
• 3. In a large non-stick skillet heat olive oil over medium heat.
• 4. While the skillet is warming, sprinkle the fillets with the fish seasoning generously on both sides. (I usually have seasoning leftover but it's great on chicken, or shrimp too.)
• 5. Let the fish cook for 5 minutes on each side.
• 6. Snapper is a very flaky fish so use a fish spatula to turn them gently. If they break it's not the end of the world... they will still taste amazing!
• 7. I like to serve the snapper over pasta with the salsa over the top. Any remaining juice from the salsa I spoon over each of the fillets. Enjoy!
