Here is a cool and fresh recipe for a hot summer night that will impress all of your guests! The ingredients are fresh and readily available at any market. It’s quick and easy to make. On a scale of 1-5 (1 being easiest – 5 be­ing most difficult) I give it a 2. This is one of those recipes that EVERYONE should make at least once! It’s off the hook!

Ingredients:

• 8 small snapper fillets (or any other small fresh local fish fillets)
• Captain Rapps’ Everglades City All Y’all Seasoning
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1 ripe mango
• 1 ripe Kiwi
• 1/2 sweet yellow peppers
• 1/2 sweet green peppers
• 1/2 sweet Vidalia Onion
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped Cilantro
• 1/2 fresh diced jalapeño pepper (seeds and ribs removed)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
• 1 tsp ground pepper
• 1 TBS sugar
• 1 lemon

Preparation:

Make sure you prepare the fruit salad first. Dice Mango, kiwi, sweet peppers, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper and mix together in medium stainless or glass bowl. Add salt, pepper, sugar, and juice from one lemon and stir. Cover and put in fridge for about 1 hour.

Heat olive oil in pan on medium heat. Coat Snapper fillets completely with Cap­tain Rapps’ Everglades City All Y’all Seasoning. Cook in

olive oil on medium heat about 4 to 5 minutes per side, just un­til it begins to flake with a fork.

Serve hot snapper on plates, and serve cold fruit salsa in separate bowl. Put de­sired amount of fruit salsa on your plated fish and eat it up!
