Gulf Red Snapper Grilled to Perfection

Ingredients

  • 4 fillets of Gulf Red Snapper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine.
  2. Place the Gulf Red Snapper fillets in a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure that each fillet is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the fish.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and ready.
  4. Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated fillets on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula. Grill the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Once cooked, remove the fillets from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

This grilled Gulf Red Snapper is best enjoyed warm and pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables. Gather around the table, enjoy the delightful conversations, and share your love for delicious seafood!
