Method
- Using scissors remove the fins from the snapper, make 3 cuts into the snapper on each side. Rub the fish sauce and the ginger into the snapper, set aside for 30 minutes.
- Line a tray with baking paper, place the fish on the tray and pour over the oil. Place the snapper into an oven pre-heated to 170C. Cook the fish for around 20 minutes or until cooked through.
- For the sauce place all the ingredients into a fry pan or a small saucepan. Bring to the boil then turn down to a simmer and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
- To plate place the snapper on to a platter, spoon over the sauce and garnish with the chilli, crispy shallots and coriander.
