Ingredients
- 4 pieces Snapper fillets
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the snapper fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Step 4
Remove the snapper from the marinade and place them on the grill skin-side down, discarding the leftover marinade.
Step 5
Grill the snapper for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 6
While grilling, place the lemon slices on the grill for about 1 minute on each side to slightly char them.
Step 7
Remove the snapper and lemon slices from the grill. Serve the snapper with the grilled lemon slices on top or on the side for added flavor.
