  1. Prepare the Okra:

    • Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each fillet is well-coated.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit 
    • In a large mixing bowl, toss the spinach,  drained okra, onion, and sweet pepper with olive oil, ground allspice, 1 tablespoon of Jalapeno Salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Bake:
    • Spread ½ the vegetable mixture evenly in a large baking dish.
    • Arrange the marinated red snapper fillets on top of the vegetables.
    • Top with remaining vegetable mixture 
  5. Bake the Dish:
    • Place foil on the bottom of a large baking dish. Place some of the vegetables on the bottom of the dish. Place the fish on top of the vegetables and place the remaining vegetable mix on top of the fish. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the red snapper is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender.
