Process for Red Snapper Recipe
This recipe couldn’t be easier. I did boil my potatoes first because there is not much oven time. You will only need about 8 to 10 minutes in the oven, just enough time to warm through the tomatoes. The only thing I would change it to add more grape tomatoes, because they were so good with each bite of the fish.
