Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 8 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the red snapper fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a large plate.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the red snapper fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the fillets marinate for about 10 minutes.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Place the red snapper fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the fish from the grill using a spatula, being gentle to avoid breaking the fillets.
Serve the grilled red snapper immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon slices for extra flavor.
