Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the red snapper fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 4

    Grill the Fish

    Remove the fillets from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Transfer the grilled red snapper to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor and color.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
