Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Lemon slices
- 4 sprigs Fresh dill, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the red snapper fillets with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish or a large zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Allow the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the red snapper fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
Place the fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down, if applicable. Grill for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 7
During the last few minutes of grilling, place two lemon slices on each fillet for added flavor.
Step 8
Remove the grilled red snapper from the grill and transfer to serving plates.
Step 9
Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh dill and additional lemon slices if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low-fat meal!
