I cut 12 ounces of red snapper into pieces. Heated the oil in a 425° oven. grated orange rind over the snapper. Once the oil was sizzling I threw in the pieces of red snapper, and four Chopped garlic cloves and some butter. I mixed nuts and breadcrumbs, parsley and butter and put that over the top. Baked for 10 minutes. Tasted like scallops in butter and garlic. It was delicious and so much cheaper than scallops.
Browsing through some snapper recipes this looked good and really glad we tried it! Tastier than some salmon cakes we’ve made. We’re definitely doing again. Also used panko for the breadcrumbs

I love this but would like the lime zest I think instead of orange! Thanks
