I normally don't make this fish, but everyone kept going on about how good it was

Red snapper with creamy creole sauce is a delightful dish that brings a bit of Southern charm to our Midwestern table. This recipe combines the sweet, delicate flavor of red snapper with a rich and spicy creole sauce that has origins in Louisiana's vibrant Creole cuisine. It's a wonderful way to introduce your family and friends to new flavors, and the creamy sauce adds a comforting touch that makes the dish approachable and enjoyable for everyone.
This dish pairs beautifully with a side of fluffy white rice or a bed of creamy mashed potatoes to help soak up the delicious sauce. Steamed green beans or a crisp garden salad can add a nice balance and freshness to the meal. For a little extra Southern flair, consider serving it with cornbread or biscuits on the side.
