Pan-Seared Red Snapper with Honey-Ginger Dijon Sauce

1

Gather all ingredients040.25 cups of Chopped Green Onion(s), 1 whole of Lemon(s), 2 tbsp of Rice Vinegar, 1 tbsp of Olive Oil, 1 tbsp of Honey, 1 tsp of Dijon Mustard, 1 tsp of Ground Ginger, and 8 oz of Red Snapper Fillet(s)placing them within easy reach for quick mixing and cooking.
2

In a shallow bowl, mix 0.25 cups of Chopped Green Onion(s), the juice from 1 whole of Lemon(s), 2 tbsp of Rice Vinegar, 1 tbsp of Olive Oil, 1 tbsp of Honey, 1 tsp of Dijon Mustard, and 1 tsp of Ground Ginger until evenly combined; set the marinade aside.
3

Rinse 8 oz of Red Snapper Fillet(s) under cold water, then pat completely dry with paper towels to promote better browning.
4

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip 8 oz of Red Snapper Fillet(s) into the reserved marinade, coating both sides and letting excess drip back into the bowl.
5

Place the coated 8 oz of Red Snapper Fillet(s) in the hot skillet and cook until the surface is lightly browned and the flesh turns opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
6

Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer, turning the fillets once in the sauce, until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes.
