Method

Directions

Prepare the Fish

Clean the baby black snapper thoroughly under cold water, removing any scales and innards. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Marinate

In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Coat the snappers with the marinade and let them rest for about 30 minutes.

Cook the Fish

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated snappers on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serve

Once cooked, remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with extra parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
