Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 whole lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and gluten-free soy sauce. Mix well to form the marinade.
Step 2
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill. Discard the leftover marinade.
Step 5
Grill the snapper fillets for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Step 6
During the last few minutes of grilling, place lemon slices on the grill alongside the fish to sear them slightly.
Step 7
Carefully remove the grilled snapper and lemon slices from the grill. Serve the fish immediately, garnished with the grilled lemon slices and an optional sprinkle of additional fresh herbs.
