Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 3

Prepare the Fish

Step 4

Pat the red snapper fillet dry using paper towels.

Step 5

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the fillet. This helps the blackened seasoning stick to the fish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the blackened seasoning evenly on the presentation side (meat side) of the fillet.

Step 8

Preheat the Ninja Woodfire Grill

Step 9

Add wood pellets to the grill to infuse the fish with a smoky flavor.

Step 10

Set the grill to high heat and allow it to preheat for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 12

Grill the Fish

Step 13

Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.

Step 14

Place the red snapper fillet on the grill, presentation side down.

Step 15

Grill for 4 minutes with the lid open to allow the seasoning to crisp up.

Step 16

Carefully flip the fish and grill for another 4 minutes on the other side.

Step 18

Check for Doneness

Step 19

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the fish. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.

Step 20

If the fish is not fully cooked, close the grill lid to trap the heat and continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Step 22

Add the Lemon Butter Sauce

Step 23

Combine melted butter, lemon juice, and parsley to make a fresh and flavorful sauce.

Step 24

Drizzle the sauce generously over the cooked fish just before serving.

Step 25

Tips for Grilling Red Snapper

Step 26

Prevent Sticking: Always oil the grill grates before cooking fish. The Ninja Woodfire Grill grates are non-stick, but a little extra oil ensures easy handling.

Step 27

Season with Care: If your fillet doesn’t have skin, season both sides for even flavor.

Step 28

Adjust for Weather: Outdoor grilling times may vary depending on the temperature and wind conditions. Always monitor the internal temperature of the fish.
