Grilled Red Snapper With Parsley and Paprika Sauce

Here is another recipe that I like to prepare during the week. Almost all grocery store I know will carry Red Snapper fillet, with or without the skin on. If you can't find them at your grocery store, fillet your own, check  here (it's so cool) how to fillet your own fish.  I had 3 medium size fillets weigh  more or less about one pound.

The grilled tomato is delicious, versatile to serve with any kind of main dish. To make this grill tomato, simply cut the tomato in half, brush with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Grill until a little bit soft and until you get that beautiful mark.

I also like to make a lot of this parsley sauce, I put them in a jar, then store in the refrigerator up to two weeks. I use it for everything from fried rice, stir fry, even to spice up my soup. it is delicious and can be quite handy, especially if you don't feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. 

Please note that, there is no exact measurement for this ingredients, it's all depend on your taste, if you like it more spicy, add more paprika and chipotle pepper. If you like, you add more parsley as well. So, use this ingredients as a guideline and apply them according to your taste.

2 - 3 (about 1 pound) Red snapper fillet, pat dry with paper towel

1 to 2 tbs olive oil

1 tbs lemon juice
