For best results, use high-quality mayonnaise and your favorite barbeque sauce. Experiment with different BBQ sauce flavors to customize the dish to your liking – a smoky chipotle or a sweet honey BBQ would both be excellent. Watch the fish closely while broiling to prevent burning. The cooking time may vary depending on your broiler's strength and the thickness of the fillets. Fish is cooked through when it is firm and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Serve immediately with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

01
StepPosition an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and barbeque sauce until smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepPlace the red snapper fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season generously with sea salt. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, ensuring full coverage. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to add a touch of heat. (5 minutes)
04
StepBroil until the top is beautifully browned and bubbling, and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking to ensure even browning, about 7 minutes total. (7 minutes)
