Lemon Parmesan Red Snapper

I tend to eat a lot of chicken, but after a while, it can get a little boring.  So, to spice up what I would usually eat, I decided to take on the challenge of red snapper.  Red snapper is a mild white fish, similar to halibut or cod.  Because it’s a mild fish, it goes well with many different flavors, but one of the things that I think always goes well with fish is lemon.  This recipe is naturally gluten free. 

LEMON PARMESAN RED SNAPPER

• 1 1/2 pounds red snapper fillet
• 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• paprika to taste

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Cut fish into serving sizes.  Pour extra virgin olive oil into pan and add fish, dipping both sides into olive oil.  Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and bake for 5 minutes.
3. Flip fillets, sprinkle lemon juice, white wine, Parmesan, paprika, and the rest of the salt and pepper on top.  
4. Bake another 5-6 minutes or until fish easily flakes throughout.

Enjoy!
