Surf and Turf - Gulf Coast Style
Bacon-wrapped layers of sweet Vidalia onion cradle tender red snapper on the grill, where smoky drippings baste the fish as it cooks. The result is juicy, lightly salty fillets with rich Gulf Coast character and a hint of soy. Ideal for a summer weeknight dinner or a backyard cookout.

Open a fish basket or similar wire cooking basket and line one side with strips of bacon, leaving a 1/2 inch gap between slices. Cover the bacon layer with onion rings. Place the fish fillets on top of the onion. Add more onion over the fish, then lay strips of bacon over the onion. Close the basket and lightly sprinkle with soy sauce.

Set the basket on the hot grill and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the bacon is just cooked through. Remove from the grill and open the basket. Place a plate of similar size upside down over the food, then flip the basket and plate so the food ends up on the plate. Lift off the basket and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
