Instructions: Season the snapper fillets with salt and pepper. Preheat a saute pan with the olive oil until the oil is hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the snapper to the hot pan, flesh-side down, and cook over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes. Turn to cook the skin side an additional 3 to 4 minutes. The fillets will curl inward briefly, but once they have cooked 1 minute, they will begin to relax and lay flat again, allowing you to cook the skin side to a crispy texture.

Lift out the snapper with a slotted spatula, leaving the juices and oil in the pan. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and shallots, and saute together 2 minutes. Add the fresh herbs to the pan. Stir quickly just to heat the herbs enough to release their aromas. Pour the sun-dried tomato and herb mixture over the snapper. Then drizzle 1 teaspoon Basil Oil over each fillet and around the dish. Serve immediately.
