To really turn this Pan-Seared Red Snapper dish into something special, begin the meal with a simple garden salad topped with a light, herby vinaigrette. Then, as an accompaniment to the fish, a steamed green vegetable like green beans or broccoli would look beautiful on the plate while not overpowering the fish. A warm loaf of crusty French bread with melted butter would be just about the perfect finishing touch to a meal you won’t soon forget.
