  • 45 ounces fresh or frozen snapper fillets with skin, each cut diagonally into thirds*
  • 1tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2cup dry white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1tablespoon butter
  • 4green onions (white parts only), thinly sliced diagonally
  • 2tablespoons snipped fresh chives
  • 2tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2tablespoons capers, drained
  • Dash freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon wedges (optional)
1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Measure thickness of fish. Rinse fish under cold running water; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Place fish pieces in skillet, skin sides down. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish or until skin is crisp and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Transfer fillets to a serving platter, skin sides up.
3. Return skillet to heat. Add white wine to skillet; cook for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until wine is almost evaporated, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add broth. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 4 minutes or until liquid is reduced by about half. Add butter, stirring until it melts; stir in green onions and chives.
4. Remove skillet from heat; add the lemon juice, capers, and pepper. Pour sauce over fish to serve. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.
Tip
  • *Test Kitchen Tip: For even crisper fish, dip the fish pieces in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to coat. Increase oil amount by 2 to 3 teaspoons.
