Discover the ultimate longjaw mud snapper recipe, a simple yet elegant dish that will transform your dining experience. Perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce each) Longjaw mud snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Marinate the Fish
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Coat the longjaw mud snapper fillets evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes, or for the best flavor, refrigerate for an hour.
Cook to Perfection
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the marinated fillets. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is golden and flakes easily with a fork.
- Alternatively, for an oven-baked option, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the marinated fillets on a baking sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Garnish and Serve
- After the fillets are cooked, move them to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy while hot and piled high with all your favorite sides.
