Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the snapper fillets.
Place the snapper fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down if the skin is still attached. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving to let the fish develop nice grill marks.
Carefully flip the fillets using a wide spatula and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the cooked snapper from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish. Pair with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
