Red Snapper with Mango, Avocado, and Fennel Salsa

Red Snapper

Cooking white, flaky fish is almost as easy as popping something frozen into the microwave. Salt, pepper, olive oil, and a few minutes in a skillet is all it takes.

Red Snapper with Mango, Avocado, and Fennel Salsa looks like the fanciest entrée – company-worthy, for sure – or something you ordered at your favorite restaurant. But here’s the secret: This is the fastest, easiest thing you can make.

Ingredients: 

1 small avocado, chopped
1 small mango, cored, peeled, and chopped
½ fennel bulb, cored and diced, plus chopped fronds for garnish
Juice of 1 small lime
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 6-ounce red snapper fillets (or any white, flaky fish), rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
Freshly ground pepper

Recipe directions: 

In a small bowl, gently stir together the avocado, mango, fennel, and lime juice. Season with a generous pinch of salt. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season the snapper with salt and pepper. Place the snapper in the skillet and cook until the fish is opaque and golden, about 5 minutes per side.

Place the snapper on two plates, topping each with salsa. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fennel fronds.
