An excellent side dish is Fried Okra Cakes.
Ingredients:
- snapper fillets, all of about the same size
- olive oil
- butter or margarine, your choice
- minced garlic
- Seasoned Salt, or your favorite mariner’s seasoning
- any dry white wine
- Panko Japanese bread crumbs
- grated Parmesan cheese (use the good stuff)
Technique:
- Set your broiler on high.
- Spread a thin layer of olive oil in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Place the snapper fillets on top, making sure not to overlap them.
- Evenly spread the minced garlic and Seasoned Salt on each fillet - do not overcoat.
- Pout in the white wine until just the top 1/3 of the fillets is exposed.
- Put a pat of butter or margarine on each fillet.
- Broil on high about 10 minutes or until the fillets are nearly done (test with a fork).
- Pull the dish out and sprinkle the Panko bread crumbs and grated Parm on each fillet.
- Put the dish back under the broiler for 30 to 45 seconds until the fish is golden brown. Do not overcook!
