Baked Snapper Fillet - fish recipe

I picked this up from Jamie Oliver: Naked Chef I, and found that I have been using several adaptions of this recipe in my everyday cooking of fish lately...because it is really easy and darn flavorful. Now, ranked side-by-side with Steamed Fish in "Quick & Easy" category is Baked Fish!


Baked Red Snapper Fillet (adapted from Jamie Oliver: Naked Chef I - Baked Seabass Sealed in Bag)
Ingredients: snapper fillets, sea salt, black pepper, bay leaf, 1/2 red onion thinly sliced, olive oil, 1/2 lemon, butter, oregano

Directions:
1. Place fillets (pat dry) on parchment paper. Rub salt and pepper on the fillets
2. Rub some butter on the aluminum foil, and place some onions on the foil. Then place fish on top of the onions
3. Cover with remaining onion, herbs and bay leaves
4. Drizzle olive oil, lemon juice over the fish and add remaining butter. Fold and seal fish with aluminum foil
5. Place on tray and bake in a preheated 375F(190C) oven for approximately 8-10mins (~8 minutes per pound). Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 3-4mins without opening the bag.
