- Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the snapper, skin-side down, and cook for 2-3 mins (pressing them down with a fish slice so they cook evenly). Turn and cook them for 1-2 mins on the other side, then remove them from the pan.
