Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Season the Snapper

    Rub the spice mix generously over both sides of the red snapper fillets. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the Snapper

    Place the seasoned red snapper fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a nice char.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the snapper from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
