Ingredients
- 4 pieces Red snapper fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 8 slices Lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pat the red snapper fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a large plate.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Pour the marinade over the red snapper fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the fillets marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 6
Place the red snapper fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Carefully remove the fish from the grill using a spatula, being gentle to avoid breaking the fillets.
Step 8
Serve the grilled red snapper immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon slices for extra flavor.
