Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Red Snapper fillets, skin-on
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest to form the base of the marinade.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the marinade ingredients.
Rinse and pat dry the red snapper fillets with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag.
Pour the lemon herb marinade over the snapper fillets, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the snapper fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Place the fillets on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the grilled snapper from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon slices if desired, and serve immediately.
