This dish has always been my favorite, easy to make and easy to get the ingredients. It can be served with pita bread, salad, or steamed rice, but I prefer it with steamed rice. Passed down from mum to me as a family delicacy.
Ingredients
- 1 (2 pound) whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled
- 5 lemons, juiced, divided
- ¼ cup sweet soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
- 3 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 bunch chives, chopped
- ½ red chile pepper, sliced
- 1 pinch white sugar, or to taste (Optional)
- 1 pinch salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Place snapper on a large plate; squeeze juice of 1 lemon onto each side and inside cavity. Set snapper aside to marinate, about 10 minutes. Combine soy sauce, butter, and ginger in a small bowl. Mix remaining lemon juice, tomatoes, chives, chile pepper, sugar, and salt together in a separate bowl.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet to smoking hot over medium-high heat. Cook snapper until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side.
Step 4
Place snapper on preheated grill; brush with soy mixture on each side. Grill, basting occasionally with soy mixture, until snapper flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
Step 5
Transfer snapper to serving platter. Pour tomato mixture over snapper to serve.
Cook’s Notes:
Use lime juice instead of lemon juice, if desired.
