Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Snapper

    Rinse the snapper under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Season the Fish

    Drizzle the olive oil over the snapper, then season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Add crushed garlic cloves and lemon slices inside the cavity of the fish.

  4. 4

    Roast the Snapper

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the snapper for about 25-30 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully remove the snapper from the oven. Serve it hot, garnished with additional lemon wedges and accompanied by your choice of seasonal veggies.
