Red Snapper Parmigiana

LolaG's Note:

I think this came from Cooking Light around five years ago. It is really good, even for those like me, who aren't that crazy about fish.

"This is the best meal we've had in a long time" said my husband of this dish. "Put that at the front of the recipe box!" I did make some changes. I added lemon juice to the marinade and replaced the flour with seasoned bread crumbs. While the fish was cooking, I splashed it with more wine and lemon juice. I think that was the clincher; it made a nice tangy reduction. I'll definitely be making this one again! Thanks!

Excellant red snapper! with a delicious crust! and not bad on the fat and carbs too. Thyme is one of my favourite herbs and we love parmesan cheese, so we loved this with it's crispy crust. I will be making this again, quite simple and quick, thanks for posting!

Very good and very easy. We were looking a healthy, yet tasty recipe for some red snapper we bought, and this was it!
