Directions

Heat the oven

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking tray or line it with parchment so the fish won’t stick.

Set up the fish

Place the cleaned red snapper on the tray. For better flavor, score the skin with a couple of shallow cuts.

Mix the lemon seasoning

In a bowl, combine green onions, lemon juice, dried oregano, and black pepper. Spoon the mixture over the fish and into the cavity if possible.

Roast

Roast for about 18–22 minutes, depending on thickness. You’re looking for opaque flesh that flakes easily with a fork.

Add cheese and olives

Remove the tray and sprinkle on the crumbled white cheese and chopped olives. Return to the oven for 2 minutes so it warms through without drying out.

Rest and serve

Let the fish rest for 2–3 minutes. Drizzle any pan juices over the top when serving.

This roasted red snapper recipe is flavored with lemon juice, green onions, and dried oregano, then finished with feta-style cheese and ripe olives. It’s a low-carb fish dinner that comes together quickly in the oven. The steps below show how to make it without fuss.
