Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Red Snapper Fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 slices Lemon Slices
Instructions
Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, black pepper, and paprika to make the marinade.
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the fillets marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the red snapper fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill skin-side down.
Grill the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Garnish with lemon slices and a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, low sodium grilled red snapper!
