Fish

Optional Garnish

Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

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

Marinating the Fish

  1. 2

    Marinate the Red Snapper

    Place the red snapper fillet in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Fish

  1. 3

    Cook the Fish

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the red snapper from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Cook the fillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a beautiful golden brown color.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate and Garnish

    Transfer the cooked red snapper to a serving plate. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
