Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean the whole red spanner fish, removing any scales and guts. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Butter-Lemon Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Fish

    Brush the fish with the butter-lemon sauce, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the Fish

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated fish on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the fish from the grill and drizzle with any remaining butter-lemon sauce. Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
