Jamaican Roast Whole Red Snapper

Jamaican Roast Whole Red Snapper

Jamaican Roast Whole Red Snapper

Roasting whole fish is a lot easier then people think. An easy way to look at it is to roast whole fish at 20 minutes per pound at 350 degrees. Simple enough. It is also significantly cheaper as well. This red snapper is seasoned with ingredients used in Jamaican cuisine such as thyme, garlic, allspice, and green onions. If you want a little heat to your snapper, add some cayenne to your seasoning mix. Serve with lime wedges.
