Grilled Snapper with Mango Salsa
This Grilled Snapper with Mango Salsa recipe brings together the smoky char of grilled fish with the sweet, tangy punch of tropical fruit. It's a restaurant-quality dish that's surprisingly simple to make at home.
Ingredients
- 4 snapper fillets 6-8 oz each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 ripe mangos diced
- ½ red onion finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 jalapeño seeded and minced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 2 limes juiced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Start by preparing the mango salsa (can be made up to 2 hours ahead). Combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl, toss gently, and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Clean and oil the grates well to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels and brush them generously with the oil mixture on both sides.
- Place the fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side up. Grill for 4-5 minutes until you see clear grill marks.
- Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer the grilled snapper to serving plates and top generously with the mango salsa.
