Ingredients
- 4 fillets Red Snapper fillets, skin-on
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest to form the base of the marinade.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the marinade ingredients.
Step 3
Rinse and pat dry the red snapper fillets with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 4
Pour the lemon herb marinade over the snapper fillets, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the snapper fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Step 7
Place the fillets on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Carefully remove the grilled snapper from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 9
Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon slices if desired, and serve immediately.
