1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups fresh vegetables, steamed

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2 Using a large shallow baking dish, brush with 1 tablespoon of butter, arrange lemon slices, shallots, dill, and Old Bay seasoning in the dish.
3 Place the hog snappers over the aromatics in the dish and add white wine.
4 Dot fish with remaining butter, cover loosely with foil.
