Jamaican Fried Snapper
Jamaican Fried Snapper brings crisp, golden fish topped with a lively escovitch of tangy vinegar, sweet onions and carrots, and a gentle hit of heat from habanero. Fragrant thyme and allspice round out the bright, pickled vegetables for a bold, balanced bite. Serve hot for a vibrant weeknight dinner or as a centerpiece for a sunny weekend meal.
