Have a good catch today? Try this easy foil-wrapped oven-baked whole red snapper to light up your appetite.

Oven Baked Whole Red Snapper

This dish is so easy to do. All you need are the ingredients, rub, and stuff them. The fish is then wrapped with foil carefully and can be baked in an oven or roast on the grill.

If you have a large party, just wrap them singly and grill/bake just like you would with the foil-wrapped potato. Sound easy enough right?

Easy Recipe for Baked Red Snapper

Just a note right after washing, by dabbing and soaking in white wine – ginger solution for as little as 5 minutes, the fishy smell will be removed. This leaves only juicy fish with light salty umami.  Eat this alone or with some special sides and dipping like the Vietnamese fish sauce to variate the flavor.
