Zest your lime and then slice it into slices. Slice your onions into very thin rings and then break them apart. The onions and lime slices will be the bed that you lay your fish on to cook.
Whisk all the ingredients together into the olive oil. You want this mixture well combined. You will also want to whisk this again before just before applying. There should be enough of this baste to allow you to baste the fish about 3 times.
Start your grill and set it to 350 degrees. Place the fish in your basket and then paint with one light coat of the baste.
Every 15min or so come back and re-baste the fish. The cook time will be determined by the thickness of the fish. If you have thinner filets they will cook in about 30min. If they are very thick then allow another 15-20min. I don’t necessarily cook Red Snapper or any other firm-fleshed fish to a time. Instead, I cook to a firmness.
Use your index finger and press the flesh of the fish. Once it feels firm and dense it is done.

Red snapper is one of the best varieties of fish for frying and grilling. If grilling, you can either cook the fish whole or cut it into fillets. Besides its versatility, everyone who eats barbecue red snapper knows the skin is the best part. With either cooking method, we recommend leaving the skin on as it services to keep the moisture in and hold the red snapper together.
Another awesome thing about smoked red snapper is its health benefits. Eating grilled red snapper is associated with lowering blood pressure, triglycerides, macular degeneration, inflammation and reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. We know what you’re thinking — isn’t all fish a smart and healthy choice? The answer is yes, for the most part. Grilled red snapper trumps a lot of seafood choices in that it is sustainably managed under rebuilding plans that allow limited harvest by U.S. fishers.
If you’re into eating paleo or keto, smoked red snapper should be at the top of your list of go-to proteins. Red snapper fish is high in proteins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids.
