Honey-Lime Red Snapper

I got this recipe out of the 2011 Taste of Home Annual Recipes cookbook. The grocery store didn't have red snapper, so we went with our usual cod and salmon. A note above the recipe said to use regular lime juice if you can't find key lime. I couldn't any, so that's what I used. Also, 1/2 cup is a lot of honey, I found larger refill bottles of honey at Wal-Mart. It's much easier to pour out of, plus you won't have to use your whole "bear."

1/4 cup key lime juice
1/2 cup honey
4 red snapper fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tsps chili powder
  • In a small bowl, combine lime juice and honey. Pour 1/2 cup (reserve remaining) in a large ziploc bag, add the fish, and refrigerate for up to an hour.
  • Drain fish and discard marinade. Sprinkle fillets with chili powder and place on greased broiler pan.
  • Broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 12-15 minutes, until fish flakes easily with fork.
  • Meanwhile, bring remaining lime juice to a boil, simmer uncovered until reduced by half. Spoon over fillets and serve.
