Ingredients
4 scarlet snapper fillets (about 6 oz. each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon (zest and juice)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
- Pat snapper fillets dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper and oregano.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.
