Ingredients
  

  • 4 (6-ounce each) Longjaw mud snapper fillets
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Fish

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Coat the longjaw mud snapper fillets evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes, or for the best flavor, refrigerate for an hour.

Cook to Perfection

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the marinated fillets. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is golden and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Alternatively, for an oven-baked option, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the marinated fillets on a baking sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Garnish and Serve

  • After the fillets are cooked, move them to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
  • Enjoy while hot and piled high with all your favorite sides.
