• 4 slices lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Place the snapper fillets in the prepared baking dish. Brush the olive oil mixture generously over both sides of the fillets.

Step 6

Lay a lemon slice on top of each fillet for added flavor.

Step 7

Bake the snapper fillets in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
