Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the Red Snapper fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the fish is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Oven

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 4

    Cook the Fish

    Remove the fish from the marinade and discard the marinade. If using a grill, place the fillets skin-side down and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. If using the oven, place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Once cooked, remove the Red Snapper from the grill or oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve the fillets on a plate, garnished with lemon slices and fresh parsley leaves.

  2. 6

    Enjoy!

    Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Red Snapper dish!
