Snapper is a very versatile fish that lends itself to any preparation method. In addition to pan-searing it, you can pan-fry it, deep-fry it, bake it in the oven, or broil it. In addition, you can also substitute it for grouper or cod in my recipes for Blackened Grouper, Fried Grouper, Blackened Cod, Blackened Mahi Mahi, or any of my other fish recipes.
