Cajun and Garlic Red Snapper



We are doing much better with our goal to eat fish once a week now that our closest grocery store has fish on sale all the time. I had never tried Red Snapper before but Chris though he remembered eating it at some previous time in our life. Since all of our fish recipes were either for Salmon or Tilapia, we decided to try something new this time. It turns out that we aren't the biggest fan of the texture of red snapper, but the recipe was great. I would love to use this recipe again (which I happened to get from about.com - random - and altered to fit our tastes and a few ingredients that we just happened to have) but maybe with a different type of fish.

2 fish fillets, about 6 oz each
4 Tbsp butter
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
1-2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
3 to 4 Tbsp bread crumbs (ours were Italian seasoned)
2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Place fish fillets in a baking dish that has been well greased.

In a skillet, melt butter with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Cajun seasoning, pepper and cilantro. Cook on low for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Brush both sides of fillets with the butter and herb mixture. Toss bread crumbs in the remaining butter mixture and sprinkle over the fillets. Bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
