Grilled Jerk Whole Red Snapper
Ingredients
Substitution
Note
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- homemade jerk seasoning/rub
- 3 lb red snapper (or other white fish)
- juice from 1 lime
- fresh lime
- fresh parsley (or basil, tarragon, etc)
Steps
Step 1
Wash the fish and pat it dry. Then place it in a plastic bag, or in the sink, to descale it using the back of a knife or a fish scaler tool.
Make about 3 (slanted) incisions in the flesh of the fish on both sides, scoring it, being careful not to go all the way through to the skin.
Step 2
Add ingredients for the jerk seasoning and oil to a high-powered blender and pulse blend until a paste forms.
Step 3
Rub the paste all over the fish and on the inside as well. Place in an airtight container or bag in the fridge and let it marinate for at least 4 hours up to overnight.
Step 4
Set your grill to about 300F/149C.
Pro-tip: to help ensure the fish does not stick to the grates, I rub the grates with half a lemon or lime with a little oil.
Step 5
Add the snapper and cook for about 12 – 15 minutes on one side. Then flip it over to cook for 10 – 12 minutes, or until the fish is firmer and the flesh is white.
Step 6
Garnish and enjoy!
