Spicy Baked Snapper Recipes

BAKED SPICY SNAPPER WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium low. Place the halved garlic clove in the oil until the oil is garlic infused. (If you are on a low fodmap diet, remove the garlic from the oil).
• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the fish in a baking dish. Drizzle with the garlic infused olive oil and the juice of 2 limes. Sprinkle Chinese 5 spice powder all over the fish, so it is lightly coated. Very lightly sprinkle cayenne pepper and garlic powder, if using, over the fish.
• Place the fish on the top rack of the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until done. Do not flip.
• Cook noodles according to package directions.
• In a large skillet, warm 1/2 tbsp sesame oil and 1/2 tbsp olive oil on medium heat. Add shallots (if using) and cook 4-6 minutes until translucent. Add the jalapeno, bell peppers, green beans, carrots, and tamari. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes longer until the vegetables reach the desired degree of tenderness.
• Serve over the noodles and top with the crispy, spicy fish.
