Broiled Red Snapper with Avocado Salsa

6 6-oz. red snapper fillets

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice

2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped

Combine butter, lemon or lime juice and parsley and brush each fillet with the mixture. Broil for 8 - 10 minutes in 350 - 400 degree oven until fish is flaky, being careful not to over-cook.

Salsa

2 fresh ripe avocados, peeled pitted and diced

2 fresh tomatoes, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 small sweet onion, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

2 serrano chiles, chopped

1 tsp. sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.

The Skinny: Y'all know how we feel about butter; there is no substitute. The avocados have some issues with fat but they really work well in this recipe. Just pick out some of the avocado pieces from the salsa if you are concerned.
