Ingredients

• 2 fillets Whole red snapper
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 whole Lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the marinade by combining fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, parsley, rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Mix well.

Step 2

Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Once the grill is hot, place the marinated red snapper fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish should easily flake with a fork when done.

Step 6

Arrange the grilled red snapper on a platter and garnish with lemon slices before serving.

Step 7

Serve immediately with the side dishes of your choice, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
