How to cook deliciously - Grilled Red Snapper

1. Stage

Score each side of the fish by making 3 shallow slices into the meat of the fish at a 45º angle.

2. Stage

Rub the entire fish with olive oil and season thoroughly with salt and pepper. Make sure the cavity gets seasoned and oiled. Stuff the lemon and lime slices and about ¾ of the herb

3. Stage

Preheat oven to 400º. Add about 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to your grill pan and use a brush or paper towel to totally coat the pan. We’re using vegetable oil because it has a higher smoke point than olive oil.

4. Stage

Place the grill pan over high heat and allow it to preheat for 2 minutes. Add fish to the pan and grill on high until the skin has begun to char, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

5. Stage

Move the grill pan to the oven and cook for an additional 7 to 8 minutes or until the fish is totally cooked through. Garnish with additional herbs and citrus wedges.

6. Stage

Preheat your grill over high or if using coals set up a hot zone and a cool zone to create a convection. Brush your grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. We’re using vegetable oil because it has a higher smoke point than olive oil.

7. Stage

Add the fish to the grill and cook until the skin has begun to char, 3 to 4 minutes.

8. Stage

Reduce the heat to medium high and close the grill. If using coal, move the fish to the "cool" side of the grill. Cook for an additional 7 to 8 minutes to ensure the fish is cooked through. Carefully remove the fish from the grill and garnish with additional herbs and citrus wedges.
