The easiest Red Snapper you’ll ever cook
Posted On 26 August 2023
Like every week, Gab, Sydney and I went on our usual grocery run and visited the local seafood shop.
Now that Sydney is over 12 months, she basically eats what we eat. While I cook specifically for her on occasions, I have now made it an habit to prepare simpler dishes for us so that she can have what we have most of the time.
The spring-like weather inspired us to buy something that we could do relatively quickly on the bbq. So here is my extra easy and toddler friendly Red Snapper recipe with a refreshing mixed salad to cleanse the palate!
