Try grilling whole snapper or sea bass with Thai flavors for a delicious dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (1 1/2 pound) whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled
  • 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 red chile peppers, sliced diagonally
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and sliced
  • 5 leaves basil
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and gracefully line a roasting pan with a shimmering sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Fill the snapper with 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves and set aside. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke. Sear the snapper on both sides until browned, about 1 minute in total. Transfer the fish to a roasting pan, then sprinkle with fish sauce. Keep the skillet with the flavorful peanut oil for later use.
  • Bake fish in a hot oven until flaky with a fork, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat the rest of the peanut oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic, ginger, chile peppers, and yellow pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, rice vinegar, water, and tomatoes. Simmer over medium-high heat until thickened. Pour over the snapper and top with remaining basil leaves before serving.
