Ingredients
- 2 red snapper scaled, gutted, whole
- 1/4 cup parsley coarsely chopped, fresh
- 4 cloves garlic , minced or crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt , divided
- lemon zest of one
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 lemon thinly sliced, fresh
Instructions
- Cut diagonal slits about 2 inches apart on both sides of each fish. This allows it to cook evenly while on the grill.
- In a small bowl combine parsley, garlic, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and lemon zest. Rub half of mixture onto the inside of each fish.
- Stuff the inside of the fish with 5-6 lemon slices, fold slices in half if they have trouble fitting.
- Rub extra virgin olive oil of the outside of each fish. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons of salt over the outside of each fish.
- To prepare the grilling basket, arrange a bed of lemon slices on one open side. Lie fish in a single layer over slices. Place remaining lemon slices over the tops of the fish. Close the basket.
- Heat grill to medium heat. Grill for 10 minutes on each side or until fish slits look white and flaky. Skin will be slightly charred.
- Remove from grilling basket and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving. The skin is edible. Please be careful... fish has bones! Red snapper is very meaty, but you will find some.
