    Method

    • How to Make Red Snapper with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
    • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F), if using the oven for finishing the fish.
    • Pat the red snapper fillets dry with paper towels.
    • Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper.
    • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Place snapper fillets, skin side down, in the hot skillet.
    • Sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh is nearly opaque half-way up.
    • Flip fillets gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through.
    • Remove fillets from skillet and let rest, loosely covered with foil.
    • While fish cooks, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
    • Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
    • Stir in chopped roasted red peppers; cook for 1 minute.
    • Pour in white wine and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
    • Add dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes; simmer 3-4 minutes.
    • Remove from heat and, using a blender or immersion blender, puree sauce until smooth.
    • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
    • Return sauce to low heat; keep warm.
    • Place fillets on plates, spoon roasted red pepper sauce generously over each fillet.
    • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for color and aroma.
    • Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze.
    • For plating, arrange fillet slightly off-center, sauce as a base or artistic swoosh, parsley scattered, and lemon wedge at the edge.
