Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fresh Red Snapper fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ¼ cup bell peppers, chopped
  • ¼ cup onions, diced
  • ¼ cup ripe tomatoes, diced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning blend
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the red snapper fillets. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, Creole seasoning, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sear the fish for approximately 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the seared fish to a baking pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 130°F.
  4. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté chopped onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in tomato paste and heavy cream while mixing continuously; adjust thickness with chicken broth if needed before simmering for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Serve the fish topped with creamy sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
