Grilled Red Snapper with Lemon Chive Dressing

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Red Snapper with Lemon Chive Dressing.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium-high setting, ensuring to lightly oil the grate to keep your fish from sticking.

2. Step 2

   Take your cleaned red snapper and place it on a large plate, then squeeze the juice of one fresh lemon over both sides and inside the cavity, allowing it to marinate for about ten minutes to infuse flavor.

3. Step 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together sweet soy sauce, butter, and minced ginger to create a rich marinade.

4. Step 4

   In another bowl, combine the remaining lemon juice with chopped tomatoes, chives, sliced red chile pepper, and a pinch of sugar and salt to craft a vibrant lemon chive sauce.

5. Step 5

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s smoking hot, then gently place the snapper in the skillet, cooking for about one minute on each side until it starts to brown.

6. Step 6

   Once browned, transfer the snapper to your preheated grill, brushing it generously with the soy sauce mixture on both sides.

7. Step 7

   Grill the snapper, basting occasionally with the marinade, until it flakes easily with a fork, which should take around four to six minutes per side.

8. Step 8

   When perfectly cooked, move the grilled snapper to a serving platter and generously drizzle the lemon chive sauce over the top, ready to impress your guests with a dish that’s as delightful to the eyes as it is to the palate.

   Enjoy the burst of flavors that come together in this simple yet elegant seafood masterpiece.
