Grilled Snapper with Vegetables and Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 whole (about 2 lbs) whole snapper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 whole lime
• ½ cup fresh cilantro
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., zucchini, bell pepper, red onion)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Pat the 1 whole snapper dry with paper towels and score both sides with shallow cuts.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the fish, inside and out.

3. 3

   Toss the 2 cups mixed vegetables with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place them in a grill basket or on a sheet of foil.

4. 4

   Grill the fish directly on the grate for 6-8 minutes per side, until the skin is charred and the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Grill the vegetables alongside, turning occasionally, until tender and charred, about 8-10 minutes.

5. 5

   While the fish cooks, make the sauce: in a small bowl, combine the juice of 1 lime, the remaining 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro. Stir in a pinch of salt.

6. 6

   Transfer the grilled fish and vegetables to a platter. Drizzle the sauce over the fish and vegetables, and serve with extra lime wedges if desired.

7. 7

   Let the fish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to settle.
