Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Lemon slices
- 4 sprigs Fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the red snapper fillets with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish or a large zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Allow the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the red snapper fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down, if applicable. Grill for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
During the last few minutes of grilling, place two lemon slices on each fillet for added flavor.
Remove the grilled red snapper from the grill and transfer to serving plates.
Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh dill and additional lemon slices if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low-fat meal!
