Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 whole lemon
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Zest and juice one lemon, and slice the other lemon into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the snapper fillets in a baking dish and drizzle the herbed olive oil mixture evenly over the fillets.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of the snapper fillets and cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake the snapper in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and serve the baked snapper immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
