Grilled Red Snapper with Lemon Chive Sauce
Description
This quick and easy grilled red snapper features the flavors of lemon, chive, tomato, and sweet soy--a thicker, more glaze-like condiment.
Ingredients
•
1 (2 pound) whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled
•
5 lemons, juiced, divided
•
1/4 cup sweet soy sauce
•
2 tablespoons butter
•
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
•
3 tomatoes, chopped
•
1 bunch chives, chopped
•
1/2 red chile pepper, sliced
•
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
•
1 pinch salt to taste
Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
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.
3
Heat a large skillet to smoking hot over medium-high heat. Cook snapper until just beginning to brown, about 1 minute per side.
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.
5
Transfer snapper to serving platter. Pour tomato mixture over snapper to serve.
