Note

Ensure the skillet used is oven-safe to allow for seamless transition from stovetop searing to oven roasting.

Corn chili and Mexican salad are referenced as side components; ensure they are prepared according to their respective recipes before plating.

Grapefruit Margarita Sauce is mentioned in the original context; if using, drizzle lightly over the finished dish for added acidity.

Red snapper cooks quickly; avoid overcooking to prevent the flesh from becoming dry. It is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
