- 5g onion powder
- 5g dried oregano
- 5g dried thyme

- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 30ml Juice of 1 lemon

How To Make Red Snapper Recipe?
- Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high 200°C.
- Mix the Rub: Combine smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional) in a bowl.
- Oil the Fish: Brush or rub olive oil on the snapper fillets.
- Season the Fish: Sprinkle the spice mix on the fillets and rub it in.
- Oil the Grill: Brush the grill grates with olive oil.
- Grill the Fish: Cook the snapper for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 63°C.
- Serve: Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Recipe Tips:
- Grill the fish on medium-high heat to get a crispy, golden surface without overcooking the inside.
- Use fresh snapper fillets for the best flavor and texture. Frozen fillets can lose their moisture and taste.
- Don’t skip the olive oil on the grill grates—it prevents sticking and helps the fish cook evenly.
- Massage the spice rub into the fish so it sticks better and gives more flavor.
- Check the fish’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure it’s cooked to 63°C for perfect doneness.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the fish cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freeze: Freezing is not recommended, but you can freeze it for up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Reheat the fish on medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, brushing with olive oil.
