Tips:

Choose the right fish: For this recipe, a whole snapper weighing around 1-2 pounds is ideal. Make sure the fish is fresh and has a firm texture.
Prepare the fish properly: Before cooking, scale and gut the fish. Then, rinse it thoroughly with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the fish its delicious flavor. Be generous with the herbs, spices, and citrus juices.
Cook the fish over high heat: This will help to sear the skin and lock in the juices. You can grill, pan-fry, or bake the fish, depending on your preference.
Serve the fish immediately: Greek-style snapper is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven or off the grill. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.

Greek-style snapper is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright flavors and crispy skin, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends.
