Spicy Red Snapper Dish

Ingredients:

  • 2 red snapper fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 cups tomato juice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish
  • 1 ½ ounces gin
  • Celery salt, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture over the red snapper fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
  3. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned snapper fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  4. Carefully flip the fillets and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the fish is flaky and cooked through.
  5. While the fish is baking, prepare the Bloody Mary mix. In a medium bowl, combine the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, gin, and lemon juice. Stir well and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and celery salt to taste.
  6. To serve, place the baked red snapper on a plate and drizzle with the Bloody Mary mixture. Garnish with fresh herbs and a lemon wedge.
