Cooked for the guys @ the firehouse again tonight...
Recipe originally calls for Red Snapper, but I've done this with Wahoo, Grouper, Snapper and even Speckled Trout. Any firm white fish should work. Tonight I used Mangrove Snapper. If you've never had it-it's a killer recipe!
The Recipe for the fish:
Italian Baked Snapper
Olive oil to grease pan
6~8 snapper fillets 8oz each
2 TBSPS Louisiana Hot Sauce
2 TBSPS Worcestershire Sauce
Lemon pepper
Cajun seasoning
1.5 sticks butter melted
1.5 cups Italian Bread Crumbs
2 Cups fine grated Parmesan Cheese
Preheat oven to 325*
Grease a large sheet pan with olive oil. Rinse fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Spread out on sheet pan. Mix hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl, brush on both sides of fish. Lightly season fish with Lemon pepper and Cajun seasoning. Place in oven for about 4 minutes. Remove fillets and sprinkle bread crumbs on fish. Brush with butter. Bake additional 10 minutes. Remove fish from oven and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Broil for 1~2 minutes to melt cheese. If you have an electric oven, or raise oven temp to 450* and cook until cheese melts. Remove and serve hot.
