Barbecue Snapper Recipe
The recipe is based on one from Pete Evans' book "Fish", but being me, I changed it a little (it's a great book if you like fish but don't really know how to cook it well).
Ingredients (It fed all of us, but I think that 2 hungry adults could easily finish it off themselves)
- 1 large snapper - scaled and gutted
- 1T butter
- 3cm knob ginger - julienned (or cut into matchsticks)
- 2 garlic cloves - chopped
- 4cm stem lemon grass - thinly sliced
- 1t coriander root (we are not coriander fans so you could up this if you are)
- 1/2 lemon sliced
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1T soy sauce
- 2T sweet chilli sauce (the original recipe used a chilli, but I didn't have one)
Method
1. Cut 3 slits into each side of the snapper.
2. Tear 2 large sheets of foil. Rub half the butter over one and place the snapper on it.
3. Sprinkle remaining ingredients over and under the fish.
4. Butter a second piece of foil and place over the top
5. Roll the 2 pieces of foil together to seal the parcel. (If the foil gets a hole in it, just put a second layer over the top.)
6. Place parcel on a hot barbeque for 5 minutes. Turn and cook a further 3 minutes.
7. Rip open the parcel and serve.
7. Rip open the parcel and serve.
Our kids loved it as much as we did.
