1 teaspoon onion, grated
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper, freshly grated
1½ pounds snapper fillets
3 tablespoons butter
Salt
Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Prepare lime dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, onion, parsley, cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate.
