Next, heat a splash of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the red snapper fillets skin side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the fillets over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven to finish cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
While the red snapper is cooking, prepare the samphire by blanching it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then draining and refreshing it in cold water. In a separate pan, melt the butter over low heat and add the juice of one lemon. Stir well to combine, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the red snapper is cooked through, remove the skillet from the oven and carefully plate the fish fillets. Top each fillet with a generous serving of samphire and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavours in every bite.
