Equipment
- Mixing plate
- Kitchen spatula
- Serving plates
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 4 pcs. yellowtail snapper filets about 6-8 ounces each, skin-on
For coating
- ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. paprika
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. ground black pepper
For cooking
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice freshly squeezed
For serving
- 2 tbsp. fresh parsley green leaves, finely chopped
- 2 pcs. lemon wedges per each serving
Instructions
- Using a paper towel, pat the fish to remove excess moisture.
- Combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper on a plate. Make sure the plate is large enough to hold the filets. Mix well.
- Dredge each side of the filets in the seasoned flour mixture. Shake lightly to remove excess flour. Make sure you coat each side evenly.
- Heat a large skillet on the stove on medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the pan. Cook until the butter melts.
- When the butter melts, and the skillet is hot, add the seasoned yellowtail snapper filets to the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish develops a golden-brown crust and becomes opaque and flaky in the center.
- During the last minute of cooking, add the crushed garlic to the pan and cook briefly until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the pan-seared yellowtail snapper filets, coating them evenly.
- Transfer the cooked yellowtail snapper filets to serving plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the pan-seared yellowtail snapper hot with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes
- Yellowtail snapper is a versatile seafood. You can pair it with several herbs, spices, and sauces. Rosemary and thyme, both fresh and dried, go well with this fish. We encourage you to experiment with various seasonings to find your favorite flavor combinations.
- To check if the fish is done, observe the color and texture. The fish should turn opaque. When checking doneness you can also use a fork. Touch the fish with the fork, If it flakes easily, it’s cooked.
