Tips for Experienced Cooks

To elevate this recipe, consider using a grill to cook the snapper fillets instead of a skillet. This adds a wonderful smoky flavor. You can also zest the lemon and lime before juicing them for the glaze and sprinkle the zest over the fish for an added layer of citrus aroma and flavor.

Step 1: Prepare the Snapper

Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

  • 4 (6 ounce) fillets red snapper
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Step 2: Make the Citrus Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, honey, and cumin until well combined.

  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Step 3: Sauté the Snapper

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snapper fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Brush the fillets with the citrus glaze during the last minute of cooking.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Snapper fillets from Step 1
  • Citrus glaze from Step 2

Step 4: Prepare the Avocado Salad

In a medium bowl, gently toss the diced avocado, white wine vinegar, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • 1 avocado (peeled, pitted and diced)
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Step 5: Sauté the Spinach

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups spinach (washed and trimmed)
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
