For best results, use fresh, high-quality herbs and olive oil. Don't overcook the fish, as it will become dry. The internal temperature should reach 130°F (54°C). If you don't have a grill pan, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Feel free to add other Mediterranean vegetables, such as tomatoes, olives, or capers, to the grill pan along with the fish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, extra-virgin olive oil, chopped oregano, lemon zest, and minced garlic. (5 minutes)
02
StepRinse the red snappers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal slits across the top of each fish, cutting almost to the bone. Season the cavities generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (10 minutes)
03
StepRub the parsley mixture all over the inside and outside of the fish, ensuring to push some of the mixture into the slits. Place the fish in the center of a grill pan and season the outside with salt and pepper to taste. (5 minutes)
04
StepPlace the grill pan in a preheated oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish reads at least 130°F (54°C), approximately 20 minutes. Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on the thickness of the fish. (20 minutes)
05
StepServe immediately, garnished with lemon slices.
