1 (2 pound) whole red snapper
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste

1 slice orange

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Clean red snapper inside and out under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
Brush grapeseed oil all over the inside and outside of the fish, and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning on all sides. Insert garlic cloves, citrus slices, and thyme sprigs into the cavity of the fish. Set on a baking sheet.
