BBQ Snapper with Jalapeno Sauce

A whole snapper needs a hot oiled plate and a sauce made while the fish cooks. Jalapeno, lime and coriander cut through the char. Serve it straight from the grill, as the home page plate shows.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 1 whole snapper, about 1.2kg, cleaned and scored
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 jalapenos, seeds removed
  • 1 cup coriander leaves
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra, for the sauce

Method

  1. Step 01

    Pat the snapper dry, rub it with oil and salt, and let it sit while the barbecue heats.

  2. Step 02

    Heat the grill or plate until it is hot. Oil the bars so the skin releases.

  3. Step 03

    Blend or finely chop the jalapeno, coriander, garlic, lime juice and extra oil into a loose sauce. Season it.

  4. Step 04

    Cook the snapper for about 8 minutes each side, until the flesh flakes at the bone. Serve with the sauce and lime.
