Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds snapper fillets
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • Olive oil

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate snapper fillets for 30 minutes (see recipe).
  • Preheat grill to MEDIUM.
