Ingredients
- 2 pounds Whole red snapper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup White wine
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the snapper under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal slashes on each side of the fish, about 1 inch apart.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the olive oil. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the mixture and stir well.
Step 4
Rub the garlic and olive oil mixture generously over the snapper, ensuring it gets into the slashes and the cavity of the fish.
Step 5
Season the snapper inside and out with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Thinly slice the remaining lemon and place slices inside the cavity of the snapper along with half of the parsley, thyme, and fresh dill.
Step 7
Transfer the fish to the prepared baking sheet. Pour the white wine around the fish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining herbs.
Step 10
Serve the baked snapper warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh salad.
