Red Snapper Veracruz
I am always on the lookout for new, interesting, and healthy fish recipes. This one is very healthy, as you will notice there is no added oil or butter in this recipe. I searched for Red Snapper Veracruz on the internet and ended up creating a recipe based on my favorite parts of two or three of the recipes I found. I served this with couscous (made with vegetable stock, grated zucchini, diced green onion and cilantro) and green beans (parboiled then sautéed in 1 tsp of butter with garlic and lemon). Marco gobbled up his dinner, Claire didn't touch hers.
