Lemon, Garlic and Herb Grilled Red Snapper

Summer is all about grilling & entertaining outside so I thought I’d give grilling a whole fish a shot - way easier than I thought! Got a whole lot of farmers market fresh sides for you too. Here’s the recipe for my Family Style Lemon, Garlic & Herb Grilled Red Snapper.

---

What you'll need!

2 lb Red snapper (scaled, gutted, cleaned)
10 Cloves of garlic
2 Bulbs of garlic
1/8 Cup fresh parsley
1/4 Cup olive oil
2 tbsp Sweet basil
1 Cup of mixed micro greens
1 1/2 Lemons thinly sliced
2 Red onions
2 White onions
Salt and pepper to taste

THEN;

1. Slice on an angle 4 cuts on each side of fish (8 total)
2. In a mortar and pestle mix 6 cloves of garlic , 1/8 cup fresh parsley, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2tbsp sweet basil. Once you crush and mash the mixture to a silky consistency, spread in between the slices and the outside of the fish.
3. Stuff fish with 1 cup of mixed micro greens that include cilantro, 6 cloves crushed garlic and 1 1/2 lemons thinly sliced. Drizzle inside with olive oil and sprinkle 2 tbsps of salt (save some micro greens for garnish)
4. Sprinkle fish with 2 tbsp of salt on each side
5. Drizzle with olive oil on both sides about 1/4 cup total
6. Before placing on grill, make sure the grill has been pre heated to max heat and brush the grate with oil.
7. Grill fish over high heat, uncovered, until lightly charred and it releases easily from the grate about 10 minutes. Turn fish over and cook another 10 minutes.
8. Transfer fish to a platter and let stand for 10 minutes. Drizzle with oil, lightly salt.
9. Use left over micro greens as garnish along with 2 lemons cut in half and grilled face down until slightly brown and grill marks are present.
10. I also cut 2 bulbs of garlic , 2 red and 2 white onions in half coated in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper onion and grilled face down for 10 minutes until grill marks are present
