This Grilled Snapper with Orange Almond Sauce is a lovely recipe using fresh snapper.
This is a delicious recipe using fresh snapper, but you can also use fresh grouper in this recipe. It’s simply grilled with a brush of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Really good fish is quite good when it’s simply grilled, but this recipe adds the most awesome buttery almond orange sauce to spoon on top.
Garnish it with a few orange segments to complete the dish. It’s so delicious!
