Thai-Inspired Fried Red Snapper

Red Snapper is a delicate white fish that takes on whatever flavors you surround it with.  I went with a floral and peppery Thai-inspired cooking method.

INGREDIENTS

When it comes to the finger, garlic, chilies and shallot, make enough to use it 3 different ways.  We will use it fresh, fried, and as part of the sauce

  • 1 whole Red Snapper
  • 1 finger ginger, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly slice
  • 1 Fresno Chili, thinly sliced
  • 1 Jalapeno, thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Fresh cilantro
  • red peppercorn
  • Szechwan peppercorns (optional)
  • salt
  • limes
  • Light cooking oil (vegetable or canola)

For the Sauce

  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar (or white)
  • 1 tbsp yuzu (or lime juice)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/3 of the ginger from above
  • 1/3 of the fresh garlic from above
  • 1/3 the jalapeno and Fresno chilies from above
  • 1/3 the shallot from above
