The refrigerator light goes on...
Red snapper is such a great meal. This is a very lean fish that takes almost no time to cook and has a clean, fresh flavor. I do love simple grilled fresh fish with a bit of salt and pepper and lemon or lime but the Roasted Garlic Tartar Sauce gives this a twist that really complements the taste of the fish.
