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.
