Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces red snapper fillets
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 whole lemon slices
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and gluten-free soy sauce. Mix well to form the marinade.
Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill. Discard the leftover marinade.
Grill the snapper fillets for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
During the last few minutes of grilling, place lemon slices on the grill alongside the fish to sear them slightly.
Carefully remove the grilled snapper and lemon slices from the grill. Serve the fish immediately, garnished with the grilled lemon slices and an optional sprinkle of additional fresh herbs.
