Sicilian Style Fish

Here is another great fish recipe. Fish is the perfect entree for the summer; it is light, healthy, and easy to prepare.

Sicilian Style Fish
1 whole red snapper or filets (salmon may be substituted)
Olive oil, about 1/4 cup
Butter, 2 table spoons
White wine (Pinot Grigio or cooking wine), about 1/2 cup
2 lemons, one juiced, one sliced
2 rings of onion diced
Garlic, 1/2 clove
Black pepper, about 1/2 table spoon
Sea salt, about 1/2 table spoon
Oregano, 1 table spoon
Basil, 1 table spoon
Paprika, 1 teaspoon
Parsley, 2 table spoons

In a skillet heat oil. Saute garlic and onion. Add herbs, lemon juice, and spices. Add butter and heat until melted. Take fish and cut vertical slits into sides about one inch apart. Coat all sides of the fish with the mixture (a small brush works well). Place coated fish on large skillet on high heat. Sear both sides, turning frequently to prevent sticking (add additional olive oil if needed). Add wine and place lemon slices on fish, simmer until done. Garnish with paprika, lemon, and parsley.
