What you need:

  • 24 oz red snapper (4 6-oz fillets, skin on)
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Step 4 Make sure the grill is clean and oil the grates. Place the fish skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 7-10 minutes (closing the grill while it cooks) until the skin releases easily from the grill grates and the fish is flaky. Note: You can flip the fish after about 6 minutes if you prefer, but do so carefully since the flesh side breaks easily. Cook for 2 minutes on the flesh side, being careful not to break the fish filets. Serve with fresh lemon.
