Citrus Baked Snapper is a quick and easy baked fish recipe calling for snapper, olive oil and a mixture of lime, lemon and orange juice.
Citrus Baked Snapper
Adapted from an H-E-B Showtime recipe
4 Snapper filets
½ Tbsp. dry thyme
½ tsp. pepper
¼ cup olive oil (preferably Greek Kalamata) -- see note
1 tsp. each lime, lemon and orange juice
½ tsp. kosher salt
Combine all ingredients except snapper in a bowl. Mix well. Place snapper filets on a non-stick baking sheet. Brush olive oil mixture over each filet. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes.
Makes 4 servings
Note: Original recipe used double the oil and seasonings, but there was leftover oil mixture so we halved it.

This showed up as a "Related Post" on the cookie papers. I think you should use this recipe again and put the fish on the grill. You could put an iron skillet on the grill, or put the fillets right on the grill for probably 3 or 4 minutes each side. 🙂

Wow - I am impressed! Go Fuzz!!! 🙂 (Also - I might try making this at home!)

Anna - everyone thinks I am a totally healthful eater. In fact, I would eat cookies all day if I didn't have borderline diabetes. I am a total carboholic and hate healthful foods. Cilantro is also on my list of hate foods. Why do you think I come to your blog? I drool over all the sweets.

Kim, I gave her that whole filet in the picture. It was actually bigger than it looks. She ate at least half of it, so I guess she liked it! She says she did. I think I might buy her some salmon one of these days.
Emiline, I'm glad you think it sounds good. Like you, I'm trying to branch out and post things other than sweets....but it's hard.
Recipegirl, this one's pretty basic but it is kid-friendly. It's probably on the same level as your swordfish with rosemary recipe. That one seems very kid friendly too (despite the wine!).
Carla, tilapia should be fine. I'm guessing your kids are used to fish since you like it too.
Judy, I'm surprised! You seem like someone who would like fish. I don't know why I perceive you that way, maybe because you are adventurous and like trying new things. But I am too and I just don't like it. There must be some biological component or sensory component that makes certain people dislike it so.....kind of like certain people have a real aversion to cilantro.
Judy says
Anna, Fuzz looks pretty serious in that photo. Looks like she is following in your footsteps. But I'm with you on the fish -- I only eat it because we're supposed to.
Carla says
Mmm, I love fish! Her snapper looks and sounds yummy. I have tilapia, so I may use this recipe with it instead.
RecipeGirl says
That's great! I think my little one would enjoy this too. Thankfully he's a fish eater 🙂
Emiline says
That sounds delicious!
Kim says
Did Fuzz like her creation? I find that when kids make their own food, they are more apt to eat it.
The snapper looks great! I might try that oil mixture on some salmon fillets I have in the freezer.
Thanks again for another great recipe!
Anna says
Janis, thanks for pointing that out. We made the recipe as H.E.B. had written it (I just added a link) and it did call for too much oil mixture. I went ahead and halved it based on your comment. Maybe they adapted it from a recipe that used more than 4 filets.
Kalyn, I think Fuzz has a more varied diet than I do!
Incidentally, snapper is kind of expensive. They also had Tilapia which was half the price, but I splurged on the snapper and noticed it wasn't too fishy.
Kalyn says
Sounds delicious to me. Go Fuzz!
Janis says
You must be so proud of your little chef! That looks delicious. It sounds like a lot of oil though. Do you really need to use all of it?
