Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the red snapper fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated with the mixture. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once the grill is preheated, place the red snapper fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
While grilling, place lemon slices on the grill and allow them to char lightly for garnishing.
Step 7
Carefully remove the fish from the grill, and plate. Garnish with grilled lemon slices and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of low-carb vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
