Notes

It is a great idea to marinate the red snapper with the chimichurri the night before. Don’t intentionally leave the marinated red snapper at room temperature for a long period of time.  Also cover the marinated red snapper to avoid cross contamination. Never, use chimichurri marinade from raw red snapper as a sauce.
