Baked Red Snapper With Garlic & Herbs
"Some good substitutes for red snapper in this dish include haddock, black cod, or striped bass. To test fish for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of a fillet. It should flake easily. I mixed up Emeril's Creole Seasoning for this recipe. This recipe is delicious! Recipe source is The Spruce Eats."

In a skillet, melt butter with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning blend, pepper, parsley, and chives, if using.
Step 4
Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, just to blend flavors.
Step 5
Brush both sides of fish fillets with the butter and herb mixture.
