Crumb Crusted Baked Snapper

My family and I have been eating a lot of fish lately. We all love fish and will never get tired of eating it. Our favorite is salmon, which is abundant here in Vancouver. Whether it is whole or filleted, we also love red snapper. This crumb crusted baked snapper caught my attention because I knew my family would love it.

Although I used red snapper in this recipe, other white fishes may be used. It’s a simple and easy recipe to make for a weekday dinner, especially when pressed for time. The fish fillets were simply coated with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon pepper, and salt. Then it was baked for 15 minutes. The result is a delicious fish that has a tasty crust and moist and tender flesh. Serve this dish with a side of vegetables or your favorite salad. I enjoyed this with tzatziki and green salad.
