1
Prepare the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
2
Prepare the Red Snapper
Rinse the red snapper under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Make 2-3 diagonal slits on each side of the fish. Season the fish inside and out with salt and black pepper.
3
Marinate the Fish
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, and juice of the lemon. Rub this mixture all over the fish, making sure to get it into the slits. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
4
Grill or Fry the Fish
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the fish for about 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked. If frying, heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil and cook the fish for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
5
Serve
Serve the grilled or fried red snapper alongside the fluffy white rice, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
