Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, dill, garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the snapper from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Place the marinated snapper fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Meanwhile, in a large serving platter, place the fresh baby spinach leaves as a bed for the fish.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the grilled snapper onto the spinach bed.
Step 9
Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.
