Notes
Pat the red snapper fillets dry before cooking to get crispy skin.
Use a hot pan and high-smoke-point oil, such as avocado or canola.
Sear skin-side down first for 3–4 minutes without moving the fillets.
Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming instead of searing.
Cook until the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for perfect doneness.
Let the fish rest a couple of minutes before serving for juicy results.
