Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fillets Whole red snapper
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 whole Lemon slices
Instructions
Prepare the marinade by combining fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, parsley, rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Mix well.
Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated red snapper fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should easily flake with a fork when done.
Arrange the grilled red snapper on a platter and garnish with lemon slices before serving.
Serve immediately with the side dishes of your choice, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
