Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Snapper fish steaks (6–8 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh herbs (like thyme or oregano) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat your grill to a medium-high temperature, aiming for around 375°F (190°C).
  2. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Stir this mixture until well blended.
  3. Gently brush both sides of the snapper steaks with the oil and lemon mixture. This not only adds flavor but also helps prevent sticking.
  4. Once the grill is hot, lay the fish steaks on the grate. Let them cook undisturbed for about 4 to 5 minutes. You’re looking for nice grill marks and a golden crust to form.
  5. Carefully flip the steaks using a spatula. Grill on the other side for another 4 to 5 minutes. The snapper is done when its flesh becomes opaque and it flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  6. Take the steaks off the grill and place them on a serving platter. Let them rest for a couple of minutes. This rest time lets the juices redistribute, ensuring each bite is moist and flavorful.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
