Rinse the snapper fillets quickly and dry them to ensure they are not dripping wet.

Arrange the snapper fillets in the pan so they are touching each other.

Season the fillets with New Orleans Cajun seasoning and Chicago steak seasoning.

Optionally add lemon pepper seasoning.

Place the pan in the oven and cook at a temperature between 300°F and 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is flaky.

Check the doneness of the snapper; it should flake easily when done.
