4 (6oz) Alabama Gulf Snapper or Grouper filets
¼ tsp Freshly Ground Pepper
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Chopped Fresh Dill Weed
1 tsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
3 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Small Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Tomato, chopped
½ c. Olive Oil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix ¼ cup of the olive oil, the tomato, onion, lemon juice, parsley, dill weed, salt and pepper in a bowl. Cut 4 medium pieces of heavy-duty foil and drizzle 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil over each piece.
Arrange 1 filet in the center of each piece of foil and top each with ¼ of the tomato mixture. Bring the edges of the foil over the fillets and seal tightly. Arrange the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the fillets flake easily when tested with a fork.
The glory of the fish fry extends from midwestern “Fish Fry Fridays” and down throughout the southeast, where potlucks of fried fish and spaghetti are well known among church crowds.
