Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce fillets Red snapper fillets
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lemon, sliced
- 1 for grill Cooking spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the red snapper fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the snapper, ensuring that each fillet is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly coat the grates with cooking spray.
Remove the snapper fillets from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off.
Place the fillets on the hot grill, skin-side down if applicable, and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a nice char.
During the last minute of grilling, add lemon slices to the grill for garnish.
Remove the snapper from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled snapper with the grilled lemon slices and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
