Quick and Tasty Italian Red Snapper Recipe

Easy and so flavorful recipe to quickly cook these fish fillets in a skillet with white wine, capers and cherry tomatoes

Print Recipe

Calling all seafood lovers… This is for you! Here is a simple recipe that explodes with Mediterranean flavors. These red snapper fillets are quickly cooked on the stove with cherry tomatoes and capers in a white wine, garlic and anchovy sauce. It doesn’t get any easier and tastier than this!

This is one of my go to recipes that I use for many other white fish fillets (make sure to adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your fillet!). It’s perfect  for last minute dinners (it cooks in no time!). And so tasty that I bet you will want to make this again. I served it up with a big green salad on the side and some thick slices of fresh bread … highly recommended to soak up all the juice!
