Red Snapper with Lemon Caper Sauce


Red snapper with lemon caper sauce.
Yes I like capers, lots of them.

Have your snapper fillets at room temperature
and pat them dry on both side with a paper towel.

Cook one cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water,
add salt to your water, bring water to boil,
add rice then cover and turn down heat.
It takes about 25 minutes.

For the sauce, chop one shallot fine, saute in olive oil
then add 2-4 tablespoons of capers drained
when capers are slightly crunchy add 1/2 cup white wine
cook down then add in juice from two lemons;
when cooked down add two tablespoons of butter.

Last salt and papper your snapper, t
hen cook snapper fillets till brown on one side
then flip and brown on the other.
Don't overcook the snapper, a fork inserted 
and twisted will tell you if the flesh is cooked.
Place a scoop of cooked rice topped with the snapper
then the lemon caper sauce drizzled over the top.
Oh so delicious yet easy to make.

  1. Capers are often too salty for me. Hooray for quick and delicious dishes though.

    1. Hi Sue, thanks, I think draining them takes a bit of the saltiness away and also not using too many
