Red Snapper Azteca

Here red snapper fillets are sprinkled with chili powder and a lemon-lime blend and baked topped with colorful vegetables. The citrus brightens the flavor and the chilies add spice. You can make this paleo diet recipe with orange roughy or trout as desired, or use jalapeno peppers instead of Anaheim peppers if you’d like a spicier dish.
