Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 (1 pound) whole snapper, cleaned and scaled

  • 3 limes, sliced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (such as TDon's Cajun Goods®)

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Heat the smoker to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Pat fish dry; cut 3 small slits on each side of fish and stuff with lime slices. In a small bowl combine olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic, and parley. Coat fish with mixture.

  3. Smoke fish until it flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes. An instant read thermometer, inserted near the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Garnish with lime wedges to serve.
