For the Lemon Butter Sauce:

For the Herb Roasted Potatoes:
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Herb Roasted Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through cooking.
Prepare the Red Snapper Filets
Pat the Red Snapper filets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Place the seasoned snapper filets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Add the lemon juice and zest to the skillet. Stir gently to combine with the butter and garlic.
Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Add the lemon juice, capers, and chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Serve
Transfer the cooked Red Snapper filets to serving plates.
Spoon the lemon butter sauce over the filets.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve with the herb roasted potatoes on the side.
