Grilled Thai Red Snapper Packets
This recipe allows you to cook red snapper on your barbecue without leaving any mess to clear up afterwards.
Equipment
- aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 4 Red Snapper Fillets 140 to 170grams
- 1 Carrot Julienne
- 1 Green Onion Minced
- 32 grams Fresh Cilantro
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Freshly Minced Ginger
Instructions
- Start the barbecue is up so it is ready for placing the packets containing the red snapper on to cook.
- Whilst the barbecue is heating up in a small bowl mix together the fish sauce, olive oil, ginger, lime juice, sugar and garlic.
- On to four separate pieces of aluminum foil you place one of the four red snapper fillets (skin side down) and pour over some of the mixture you have just made.
- Then sprinkle over the top of this some of the carrots, cilantro and green onion.
- Then bring up the sides of the aluminum to seal the fish inside.
- But don’t secure the packets too tightly as you need to allow some of the steam produced as the fish cooks to escape.
- As soon as the barbecue has heated up place the Thai red snapper packets on the grill and cook for between 8 and 10 minutes.
- Once this time has elapsed remove from the barbecue and then cut open the packets with a pair of scissors and serve without removing them from the aluminum foil on a clean plate.
