Ingredients
- 4 pieces snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 2
Rinse the snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to create the marinade.
Step 4
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the snapper fillets.
Step 5
Place the snapper fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down if the skin is still attached. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving to let the fish develop nice grill marks.
Step 6
Carefully flip the fillets using a wide spatula and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the cooked snapper from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish. Pair with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
