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.
