Red Snapper Recipe

Prepare the Fish

Rinse the red snapper fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to remove any excess moisture.

Season the Fillets

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the red snapper fillets.

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.

Cook the Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Cook the Fish

Carefully place the seasoned red snapper fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.

Add Lemon Juice

Once the fish is cooked, drizzle the lemon juice over the fillets, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for added freshness.

Serve

Transfer the red snapper fillets to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.
