Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Pour 1 tablespoon of the olive oil into the pan, ensuring the bottom is coated evenly.
3
Season the snapper fillets with half of the salt and pepper.
4
Next, place the seasoned fillets into the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, turning only once, until the fillets are golden and flake easily with a fork.
5
Transfer the cooked snapper fillets from the pan to a warm plate. Set aside.
6
Pour the vermouth into the same pan and let it simmer for a minute to infuse its flavor into the cooking residue.
7
Add the diced zucchini, minced shallots, chopped oregano, grated lemon rind, remaining olive oil, and remaining salt to the pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the zucchini is tender.
8
Mix in the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 1 minute, until the tomatoes soften.

Serve the snapper fillets with the zucchini-tomato medley spooned over the top.
