  • Properly clean and prepare the fish: Remove the fish's scales, fins, and entrails. Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Score the fish's skin to help it absorb the marinade.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Combine herbs, spices, and citrus juices to create a marinade that complements the delicate flavor of red snapper. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the fish gently: Red snapper is a delicate fish that can easily overcook. Bake, pan-fry, or grill the fish over medium heat until it is just cooked through. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the fish dry and tough.
  • Serve with fresh, seasonal vegetables: Red snapper pairs well with a variety of vegetables, such as roasted tomatoes, grilled zucchini, or steamed asparagus.
