Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Snapper fillets
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the snapper fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Remove the snapper from the marinade and place them on the grill skin-side down, discarding the leftover marinade.
Grill the snapper for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
While grilling, place the lemon slices on the grill for about 1 minute on each side to slightly char them.
Remove the snapper and lemon slices from the grill. Serve the snapper with the grilled lemon slices on top or on the side for added flavor.
