Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the fillets in a single layer in a baking dish.
Drizzle the olive oil over the snapper fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the fish.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh dill, and minced garlic cloves.
Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the snapper fillets.
Season the snapper with salt and black pepper.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the snapper fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve each fillet with a sprinkle of additional fresh herbs if desired.
