Pargo Entero Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fish

   Rinse the whole red snapper under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish to allow for even cooking.

2. 2

   Marinate

   In a bowl, mix minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Rub this mixture all over the fish, including inside the cuts and cavity. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

4. 4

   Fry the Fish

   Carefully place the marinated fish in the hot oil. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the fish from the pan and let it drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
