Red Snapper Azteca

Continuing with the seafood theme, here is a recipe for Red Snapper. Red Snapper is great for people that don't really like the "fishy" taste that is associated with fish normally. Red Snapper is a white meat and more milder in taste. Behind Salmon, Red Snapper has the best protein of any fish out there. Here is a recipe I found online. It is pretty simple and I thought it was pretty tasty. Esther even tried it and like it! This feeds 2-3

 Ingredients
-1 lb red snapper fillets
-juice of 1 lime
-juice of 1/2 lemon
-1 tsp chili powder
-1 plum tomato coarsely chopped
-4 green onions, sliced in ½ inch sections
-1 small Anaheim pepper, chopped
-1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
-handful fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

Place red snapper in a shallow baking dish.
Combine lime juice, lemon juice and chili powder in small bowl and sprinkle over snapper.
Marinate 10 minutes, turning a few times.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350℉.
Sprinkle chopped onions, tomato and peppers over snapper.
Cover and bake for 20-30 minutes or just until snapper flakes in center.
Let stand, covered, 4 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Note: I actually didn't cover my fish when I cooked this and didn't realize I needed to add the onions, tomatoes and peppers on the fish until it was about 5 minutes left for baking. It was still great.
