Ingredients
- Snapper fillets
- 4 (6-ounce) fillets
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed)
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Lemon slices
- for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's clean and well-oiled.
- Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
- Place the snapper fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated snapper fillets on the grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the snapper from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve garnished with fresh lemon slices and additional parsley, if desired.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- If snapper is not available, you can substitute it with other white fish like tilapia or sea bass.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad to complete your meal.
