Arrange the fish on the baking sheet, followed by the tomato mixture and then the lemon slices. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each fillet.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest fish possible. Red snapper is a delicate fish, so it's important to start with a fresh catch. If you can't find fresh red snapper, you can substitute another type of white fish, such as tilapia or cod.
  • Season the fish simply. Red snapper has a mild flavor, so it doesn't need a lot of seasoning. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need.
  • Cook the fish over medium heat. Red snapper cooks quickly, so it's important to cook it over medium heat to prevent it from drying out. If you cook it over high heat, the outside of the fish will be cooked before the inside is done.
  • Baste the fish with lemon-herb butter. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful. You can also add other herbs and spices to the butter, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Red snapper is best served immediately after it's cooked. You can garnish it with lemon wedges, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Grilled red snapper is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a summer cookout. With its mild flavor and delicate texture, red snapper is a great choice for people who are new to eating fish. This recipe is simple to follow and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give grilled red snapper a try!
