How to prepare. 

Grilled Red Snapper

Ingredients:

➤2 whole Red Snapper fish (about 1.5 to 2 pounds each), scaled and gutted

➤3 tablespoons olive oil

➤2 cloves garlic, minced

➤1 lemon, thinly sliced

➤2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)

➤Salt and black pepper to taste

➤Lemon wedges and fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Grill:

➔Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Fish:

➔Rinse the Red Snapper under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.

➔Score the skin of each fish diagonally with shallow cuts on both sides. This helps the seasonings           penetrate and prevents the fish from curling during grilling.

➔Season the fish generously inside and out with salt and black pepper.

3. Stuff the Fish:

➔Place a few slices of lemon, minced garlic, and fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme) inside the cavity of       each fish. This adds flavor from the inside out.

4. Brush with Olive Oil:

➔Brush the outside of the fish with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote a crispy skin when               grilling.

5. Grill the Fish:

➔Place the Red Snapper on the grill grates. Grill each side for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending        on the size of the fish. The flesh should easily flake and be opaque when done. Be gentle when                flipping the fish to avoid it falling apart.

6. Baste with Olive Oil:

➔While grilling, baste the fish occasionally with olive oil to keep it moist and enhance the flavor.

7. Serve:

➔Once the Red Snapper is grilled to perfection with nice grill marks and crispy skin, remove it from         the grill.

➔Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

8. Serve Immediately:

➔Red Snapper is best served right off the grill. Serve it with your choice of side dishes, such as rice,         grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your grilled Red Snapper with its delicious, tender, and flavorful flesh!
