Ingredients

4 skinless red snapper fillets, 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Grapefruit-Thyme Mojo, recipe follows
1 grapefruit, sliced, for garnish

Directions

Heat your grill to high.

Brush the fish with oil and season both sides of the fish with the salt and pepper. Place the fish on the grill, and grill for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and slightly charred. Turn the fish over and continue grilling, for 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness. Remove the fish from the grill and let rest 5 minutes.

Drizzle mojo over snapper and serve with grapefruit slices on the side.

1/4 cup olive oil

8 cloves roasted garlic

1 grapefruit, juiced

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

2 teaspoons grated grapefruit zest

1 teaspoon honey

2 serrano chiles, coarsely chopped

Excellent
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'm a novice at best and this was easy. I used Haddock and my wife who really doesn't like fish enjoyed this dish very much.... Looks like they'll be more Haddock in our future. Read more

Enjoyed tweaked recipe.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

After reading the comments of previous cooks, I tweaked the mojo recipe and enjoyed it over grilled tilapia. I added 1/2 a... grapefruit juiced and doubled the grapefruit zest and I only used 1 hot pepper. Tangy sweet with a nice kick! I look forward to using this tweaked recipe again.Read more

Not sure what we didn't like...
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I love grapefruit and thyme but didn't care for the mojo sauce. Thought it might be the serrano chiles so I made it again... without them. Liked it better but still not what I had hoped for. Maybe it's just not to my taste. Made the rest of the recipes from the Light and Fresh episode and everything else was great!Read more

Too much time and too much thyme
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I did not care for this recipe. There were too many things going on in this mojo, and not really enough of any one of them... except thyme. One tablespoon was way too much, and all I could think was that this would have been so much better with cilantro instead of lime. I love grapefruit juice, but think I prefer lime and lemon based mojos instead. I will not be making this again as the recipe is listed, but it has inspired me to try some variations, which is why it gets two stars instead of one.Read more

Great w. Grilled Salmon
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Followed the recipe to a T, although I roasted the garlic in the oil, and then used said oil in the sauce. Oddly, it's... difficult to pinpoint any single flavor in the mojo sauce...but the sum of the parts is pretty awesome. Freezed the mojo sauce I didn't use and will save for another day.Read more
