For an even more intense flavor, marinate the snapper for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator before cooking. However, avoid marinating for longer, as the acid in the lemon juice can start to 'cook' the fish. If you prefer a crispier skin, sear the snapper skin-side down first, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the pan. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on your desired level of sweetness. Serve with a side of quinoa or rice to soak up the delicious pan sauce.
