Rinse and pat dry the red snapper fillets with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a marinade.
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish and ensure each fillet is well coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, place the red snapper fillets on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on the first side.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the grilled red snapper with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Keto Grilled Red Snapper with your favorite low-carb side dish.
