Prepping Snapper
It’s important to thaw your snapper prior to cooking, no matter the technique you choose. To thaw in refrigerator, remove desired number of fillets from vacuum-sealed packaging, cover, and refrigerate overnight. For faster thawing, unpackage snapper fillets and place in a sealable plastic bag. Remove as much air from the bag as possible and immerse in cold water for approximately 30 minutes.

Baking is one of the easiest methods to achieving perfectly cooked snapper – no flipping or turning involved! As your oven pre-heats to 400 degrees, rub each fillet with melted butter or oil and season as you wish. Then, simply place your fillets on a pan and bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes.
