For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili powder to the spice mixture. Feel free to substitute the red snapper with other firm-fleshed white fish such as cod, halibut, or sea bass. Serve with a side of quinoa, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
