Flaky, golden red snapper topped with bold, creamy Creole flavor.

Ingredients

For the Fish:

2 red snapper fillets (skin-on or skinless)

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

Salt & black pepper to taste

For the Creole Sauce:

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper

¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper

¼ cup finely chopped onion

2 garlic cloves, minced

½ cup heavy cream or coconut cream

2 tsp Creole seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Pat snapper fillets dry, then season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook fillets skin-side down for 3–4 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook 2–3 more minutes until done. Remove and keep warm.

In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers, onions, and garlic in oil until soft (about 3–4 minutes).

Stir in cream and Creole seasoning. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened.

Taste and adjust salt or spice as needed.

Spoon sauce over the snapper and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
