How to Make Barbecued Snapper With Butter And Lemon

  1. Preheat your barbecue to medium-high heat.
  2. Clean the snapper thoroughly, removing scales and guts. Rinse and pat dry.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the snapper on the preheated barbecue grill.
  5. Brush the snapper generously with the lemon butter mixture.
  6. Cook for 12-15 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For a 1.5kg snapper, cook for 20-30 minutes, turning halfway.
  7. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
