Outdoor kitchens have become increasingly popular because they inspire you to get outside, do life, and enjoy in the fresh air.  A side burner, such as the TRL Double Side Burner from Summerset, adds utility and flexibility to the outdoor space, thus broadening your culinary options.  Next up in the Sizzling Summer Series is Red Snapper with Butter Lemon Sauce, a beautifully simple and delicious preparation from our friends at Jen Reviews that utilizes a cast iron skillet and side burner to fry and brown the fillets in butter.  Featuring savory butter, white wine, and fresh lemon, this red snapper is sure to become a favorite quick and delightful meal to enjoy the sunset outdoors.

We begin by melting butter in a cast iron skillet, which can be placed right the grill grates if a side burner is unavailable.  Season the red snapper fillets with salt and pepper, and then brown them in the melted butter for a few minutes allowing them to get a little crispy.  Once flipped, add the white wine, heavy cream, garlic, and lemon juice to begin making the sauce while the fish finishes cooking.  To reduce the sauce, remove the fillets, add parsley, and simmer to thicken.  The red snapper finishes with amazing crispy texture on the outside and flaky inside, and the butter lemon sauce adds a rich and aromatic covering with herbal balance and citrus, riveting to the last bite. So get outside, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy your summer with the Sizzling Summer Series from Summerset.
