How to cook snapper.
Step 1- Prep. Pat dry the fish with a paper towel to remove excess liquid. Rub olive oil on the fish generously, then add salt and pepper.
Step 2- Cook. Heat a grill and brush the grill grates with oil or grease a cast iron skillet. Add the fish and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sides become slightly opaque. Flip the fish and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Step 3- Season and serve. Remove the fish from the grill, drizzle some lemon juice on top, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Add a side dish of chips or a garden salad.
