Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, sliced for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the lemon herb marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more intense flavor.
Step 3
While the snapper is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 5
Remove the fish from the marinade and carefully place each fillet on the grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the snapper for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled snapper to a serving platter and garnish with fresh lemon slices.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
