You will need:

For the snapper:

– 4 snapper fillets

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– Salt and black pepper to taste

– 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For the lobster lemon cream sauce:

– 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped

– 2 tbsp unsalted butter

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 small shallot, finely chopped

– 1/2 cup dry white wine

– 1 cup heavy cream

– 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

– 1 tsp lemon zest

– Salt and black pepper to taste

– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 

Directions:

  1. Prepare the snapper:

– Season the snapper fillets with salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice.

– In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the snapper fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  1. Prepare the lobster lemon cream sauce:

– In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped shallot, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

– Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.

– Stir in the heavy cream, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

– Add the chopped lobster meat to the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the lobster is heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  1. Serve:

– Place the snapper fillets on serving plates and spoon the lobster lemon cream sauce over the top.

– Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
