lime
🥗Healthier: lemon
💰Cheaper: vinegar
Lemon provides similar acidity, while vinegar is a cost-effective substitute.
Clean the red snapper and pat it dry with paper towels.
Make diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish for even cooking.
Rub the fish inside and out with lime juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Prepare a mixture of flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, and salt in a shallow dish.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Dredge the marinated fish in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
Carefully place the fish in the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the fish and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lime wedges.
