Ingredients

Scale

4 red snapper fillets

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 bell pepper, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon Creole seasoning

1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

Season the red snapper fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the snapper fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in heavy cream, Creole seasoning, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Return the snapper fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy Creole sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
