Pensacola Beach Kayak Fishing - Red Snapper Catch and Cook

[Music] [Music] no he's not hey Justin got a good one well might be a keeper at least today we're doing pan fried red snapper with oven roasted sweet potatoes and mango salsa first thing we got to do is trim the flase cut all the blood line out make sure there's no bones and the blood line happen to be one of matting Hoss's favorite snack oh there it is Hey next we're gonna preheat the oven 380 degrees for the roasted sweet potatoes I'm gonna peel 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes and then chop them into about half dollar sized pieces then I'm gonna coat them lightly with olive oil tossing them really well but make sure they're evenly coated I like to keep this recipe really simple I just use three ingredients garlic powder sea salt and chili powder once you've added those ingredients to the potatoes you just want to make sure you toss the potatoes really well to get that season evenly distributed when your oven and your cookie sheet or preheated you want to coat it with some olive oil cooking spray and then put your potatoes on there even them out so they're all touching the pan and then put it in the oven these are gonna cook for about 40 minutes in about 20-25 minutes through you're gonna want to take them out and flip them all right now let's move on to the mango salsa we're gonna start out with two mangos we're gonna peel them slice them up we're gonna dice them up into about pea sized chunks one of the key things with salsa is you want all of your ingredients to have a uniform shape and be close to the same size so nothing dominates the taste and they meld well next we're gonna dice up a red onion and use about 1/2 to 2/3 of the onion again we're trying to keep all of our ingredients in about the same shape and size we'll be using two types of peppers in this red bell pepper and jalapeno peppers with the hella peeny Oh pepper just depends on how hot you want it if you want to hotter leave the seeds if not you can remove them [Music] okay once you got all the ingredients chopped and in the bowl then you want to add the juice of one lemon in the juice of one lime once that's in I'm gonna stir it really good and then we're gonna put it in the refrigerator and just let it set until it's time to eat all right before we start cooking the snapper we just want to flip the sweet potatoes real quick and make sure they're looking good and yeah they look real good so we're just gonna flip those real fast and then pop them back in the oven and start cooking the snap okay here's my secret instant mashed potatoes and slap your mama seasoning that's all I coat the red snapper with it gives it a really light flaky coating doesn't hold a lot of oil it's just really good really liked it a lot I just like to use a straight egg wash to dip the fish in before you coat it it's just like any other fried fish you dip it in your wash put it into your coating make sure you got it completely evenly coated and then throw it in the oil I like to use an induction heater for my skillet it's a lot easier to control the temperature because you can set it to an exact temperature instead of trying to guess where it's at or have to use a thermometer I've found my fish at 390 degrees and I like to use olive oil since it's a little bit healthier I like to cook it until the outer edges are golden brown and then flip it over and cook it for another minute or two on the other side [Music] after I got both fillets cooked it was time to get the potatoes out of the oven get the salsa out of the fridge and set the table the dinner turned out amazing I hope you'll try it if you've got a good snapper recipe make sure and leave it for me in the comments for me to try it out - I hope you enjoyed the video and if you did please hit the like button and also if you want to see more videos like this make sure and subscribe and also hit the bell so you get notifications when my new videos come out tight lines everybody
