Cilantro-Lime Grilled Red Snapper

This week's seafood catch is Red Snapper. Red Snapper's sweet and mild taste, along with its firm texture, makes this a very versatile fish. It can be used in many different recipes and t can be cooked in almost any manner, except frying. My favorite and recommended way to prepare it and almost any type of fish is grilling, baking and/or broiling.

Grilling, baking and/or broiling marinated fish, and most seafood in general, is an excellent way to keep calories to a minimum while getting a lot of flavor. This week's recipe is a fine example, and I hope you enjoy it!

Bon Appetit!
