How to Make Snapper with Zucchini and Toasty Garlic Mojo

1. Prepare the Garlic

In a 12-inch skillet, warm the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook for about 4 minutes until soft and lightly browned. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside, keeping the oil in the skillet.

2. Make the Garlic Mojo

In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked garlic with chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create a garlic sauce.

3. Sear the Fish

Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat the skillet with reserved garlic oil over medium-high heat. Sear the fillets for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned and firm to the touch.

4. Cook the Zucchini

In the same skillet, add the zucchini and cook for about 6 minutes until lightly browned but still crunchy. Pour in the garlic mixture and add the chopped cilantro. Bring to a gentle boil.

5. Serve the Dish

Arrange the fish fillets on plates. Spoon the zucchini and garlic sauce around the fish. Squeeze lime wedges over the top before serving.
