Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the onion and bell peppers. Set aside.

  3. 3

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembly and Cooking

    Brush the red snapper with half of the lemon butter sauce, ensuring it is evenly coated. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

  2. 6

    Add Vegetables

    Spread the sliced onions and bell peppers around the fish on the baking sheet.

  3. 7

    Bake the Fish

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 8
