Red Snapper Vallarta-Style
We are lucky to have our Bay of Banderas` Red Snapper abundant year-round: the most popular and delicious fish dish you can enjoy in PV. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients
Fresh, whole Red Snapper (as many as needed)
Lime juice
Natural sea salt
Ground black pepper
Extra Virgin olive oil
Diced garlic
Procedure
Wash the fish (fres and whole) in the sink and pat-dry with paper towels. Pour the juice of half a lime over each fish. Season with natural sea salt and ground black pepper. Add extra virgin olive oil and diced garlic to a pan at medium heat, stir so garlic does not burn. Place the whole fish over hot oil and let it cook for 5 minutes on each side. Serve with salsa mexicana (pico de gallo), guacamole, rice, tortillas and enjoy! Provecho!
