Ingredients
1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. paprika
3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, divided
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp salt, divided
2 Tbsp. olive oil
4 6-oz. snapper fillets
4 Tbsp. butter, divided
1/2 c. pecan pieces
2 Tbsp. parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Directions:

1. Combine flour and seasonings on a shallow plate. Dredge the fillets in flour mixture, coating evenly. Heat the oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat.

2. When oil is hot, pan fry fillets for 3-4 min. on each side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.

3. In a medium pan; melt 2 Tbsp. of the butter over medium-high heat until foamy. Add the pecans and cook for about 1 1/2 min., stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. Add the parsley, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and cream. Whisk for 1 min. and remove from the heat.

4. Add the salt, cayenne, and remaining 2 Tbsp. butter, broken into small pieces; stir until the butter melts completely. Spoon the sauce over the fillets and serve.
