8 Reviews of Egyptian Red Snapper in Red Pepper Mint Sauce

Absolutely wonderful! Instead of going through the process with the red pepper, I simply used jarred sweet roasted red peppers and it worked wonderfully. I added a few extra mint leaves, just because I liked them and sprinkled some more cayenne pepper as the sauce was simmering. I also used the advice of others to add 1/4 cup of water to the sauce. All in all, this dish was easy, quick, and wonderful and my family really enjoyed it.

Something just after my fancy - easy to make and wonderful flavours. I couldn't get red snapper and so I used Tilapia instead and it was great. I like the combination of thyme and the fresh notes of mint here. The cayenne add just a hint of sharpness. If you like it spicier, take 1/4 teaspoon or more of cayenne. I use red bell pepper here, because the sweet notes are great with the mint flavours. Served it with bulgur. Thanks so much for sharing.

The combination of flavors is wonderful. I did have to make some modifications, added several tablespoons of water to the sauce while it was simmering. Sliced the red onion thinly (use red if you can, it really makes difference), did a chiffonade on the mint, mashed the garlic... Since I can't get snapper, I tried blue hake. Not a good choice. If you can get snapper use it, otherwise, perhaps, mahimahi, or tilapi would be best. Other than that, with some modification, this is a truly good blend of flavors... Applause, Potsie!

We loved the flavours in this dish! I used snapper and added extra cayenne, and it was perfect. I did need to add about 1/4 cup of water to the sauce in order for it to simmer. Thanks for a fantastic recipe. Can't wait to make it again!

Excellent!!!!! using Mahi Mahi, Took Thorsten's lead and used more water *which I didn't need* and some extra cayenne which I did need Very very good. Made for ZWT3.

I thought that this was a nice, easy to prepare snapper recipe. I didnt serve it over the couscous---just with a side of cauliflower. It made for a nice dinner--thanks!

This is a quick, easy and delicately flavoured dish that presents beautifully so would be ideal to serve at a dinner party. I made it for two cutting back on the onion, thyme and lemon juice, used one large clove of garlic, 1 roasted red pepper (purchased from the deli) along with extra cayenne and mint leaves. There wasn't any sauce as such, more of a topping. Not being sure the topping would completley cover the fish, I added a little more oil and some water during step 2. I baked the fish for twenty minutes, and added some freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt to the finished dish. The fish was perfectly moist and tender. The reason I'm rating it a 4 and not a 5 is solely due to our personal preference for more robust flavours. Thanks for a delicious recipe I look forward to making again!
