Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and ground black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the red snapper fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated with the mixture. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Once the grill is preheated, place the red snapper fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While grilling, place lemon slices on the grill and allow them to char lightly for garnishing.
Carefully remove the fish from the grill, and plate. Garnish with grilled lemon slices and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
