Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by gathering all the ingredients. Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Chop the garlic cloves finely, grate the ginger, slice the green onions, and dice the red bell pepper into small pieces. Set them aside.

Marinate the Snapper

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Place the snapper fillets in the marinade, making sure they're fully coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat the Pan

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to get hot but not smoking.

Cook the Snapper

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated snapper fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is golden brown.

Add Vegetables

In the last few minutes of cooking the fish, add the diced red bell pepper and sliced green onions to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and let them cook until they are tender.

Garnish and Serve

Once the snapper is cooked and the vegetables are tender, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
