Citrus Baked Whole Red Snapper
Ingredients
  • 1 (2 pound) whole red snapper
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 slice orange
  • 1 slice lime
  • 1 slice lemon
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to a high temperature, specifically 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2
To prepare the fish, rinse it under cold running water and gently remove any impurities. Pat the fish dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then position it on a baking sheet.
3
Next, apply a thin layer of grapeseed oil to the entire fish, both inside and out. Sprinkle a generous amount of Cajun seasoning evenly over all surfaces of the fish. Insert whole garlic cloves, slices of citrus, and sprigs of thyme into the fish's cavity to add flavor.
4
Place the prepared fish in the preheated oven and bake until it flakes easily with a fork, typically taking around 20 minutes, depending on the size of your fish.
