Instructions
Creating Grilled Red Snapper is simple. Just follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper together.
2. Marinate the Fish: Place the cleaned Red Snapper in a large dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it’s well-coated.
3. Let it Rest: Allow the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
5. Grease the Grill Grates: Use a paper towel dipped in oil to carefully grease the grill grates, preventing the fish from sticking.
6. Place Fish on Grill: When the grill is hot, place the marinated Red Snapper directly on the grill.
7. Cook the Fish: Grill for about 5-7 minutes on one side until grill marks appear. Flip the fish gently using a spatula.
8. Continue Cooking: Grill for another 5-7 minutes on the other side until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
9. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). The fish should be opaque and tender.
10. Remove from Grill: Carefully remove the fish from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible dish of Grilled Red Snapper that will impress your family and friends.
