The Ultimate Red Snapper Recipe (Catch & Cook)

Here’s a recipe for frying the best red snapper using fresh lemon and herbs:

### Ingredients:
- 2 whole red snapper fillets (cleaned and patted dry)
- 2 fresh lemons (1 sliced, 1 for juice)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, and dill)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon butter

### Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Red Snapper**:
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Rub this seasoning mixture over both sides of the red snapper fillets.
- Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the fish and set aside for 10-15 minutes to marinate.

2. **Heat the Oil**:
- In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of oil (about ¼ inch deep) over medium-high heat. Add the butter for extra flavor.

3. **Cook the Fish**:
- Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned red snapper fillets into the skillet, skin-side down (if skin-on). Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

4. **Add Fresh Herbs and Lemon**:
- During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic, fresh herbs, and lemon slices to the pan. Let the garlic and herbs infuse the oil, and allow the lemon slices to caramelize slightly.

5. **Serve**:
- Transfer the fried red snapper to a plate. Garnish with the cooked lemon slices and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with extra herbs on top.

Enjoy your flavorful red snapper with a fresh burst of lemon and herbs!
