6 Peppercorns, ground

4 tablespoons Seville Orange Juice*

Combine all ingredients except fish and olive oil in a blender. Blend completely to a paste. Smear the paste onto the fleshy side of the snapper. Allow to marinate overnight. Heat up a charcoal grill. When ready, coat each piece of snapper in olive oil. Then cook approximately 7-10 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
