Red Snapper with Asian Noodles is a fabulous, refreshing change from the ho hum fish dinner. And it’s quick too. After you let the fish marinate in a slightly sweet, spicy and citrusy mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt and cayenne, you bake it for 15 minutes – and there you have it. Serve with lo-mein noodles spiked with sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and lightly pickled cukes.

I know isn’t it such a delish fish??!?!??!
OMG forgot how much I love red snaper have had it in awhile. This recipe is do good. I used whole small snapper(thats all fish store had head removed) being that was whole marinated it for one whole 30 on each side. I also used rice pasta thought I had other. It was amazing.
for sure! spaghetti, linguini, angel hair – really just use your fave pasta shape cooked according to pkg directions. And for sure switch up the fish mahi mahi would be excellent here – or again any fish — salmon, chilean sea bass – whatever you like!
can i use regular spaghetti if i cant get or don’t have lo mein noodles?
also can i switch up the fish if they don’t have red snapper for mahi mahi?
I love red snapper and this dish sounds delicious!
me too and it is!
