Got some fresh red snapper fillets at the local fish market today. The last time I had snapper was in New Orleans, and it had a really good spicy, tomatoey taste so I've been researching marinades for it before we grill it tomorrow. Here's one that sounded pretty good to me:
Marinated Grilled Snapper
Prep time: 10 minutes
Marinating time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total: 1 hour, 20 minutes
Serves about 2-3
1 lb snapper fillet
Marinade
¼ cup V-8 juice
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp olive oil
1½ Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp onion powder
1½ tsp dried parsley flakes
1½ tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp ground black pepper
Combine all marinade ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Add marinade and fish to large ziplock baggie, seal, and turn several times to coat. Refrigerate 1 hours, turning baggie a couple of times to ensure fish soaks up marinade evenly. Don't marinate snapper too long, it could turn mushy. Discard marinade.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (rack should be about 4" from coals).
Use a grill basket that has been lightly sprayed with PAM so the fish doesn't stick and doesn't fall apart when turning (the kind with a removable handle is best). Place fish in prepared basket on the grill. Close basket; lower grill cover and cook over medium-high heat about 4-5 minutes per side, flipping basket halfway through cooking time. Fish should flake easily with a fork when done. If fish is skin-on, easily peel the skin off after cooking, then serve.
