Red snapper fish in special sauce

We brought a red snapper from the fishermen who used to sell their catch just at the junction to our place. This one was a big catch.. bigger than our daughter. It was really worth the price we have paid for this big red snapper.
Yes, this fish is the prize fish in Seychelles and it is really expensive so most people would eat them on special occasion and the style prefer here is to grill it over the charcoal by the beach on a picnic.
Well I was thinking really hard how I could make more out of my red snapper so last night I used the part that I have defrosted to cook a simple and healthy fish dish in a very special sauce. Here is my recipe, I think you could use any white meat fish for this sauce.

Ingredients:
  • One slice of red snapper with the bone on it about 500gm
  • 2 inches of ginger slice in thin strip
  • 2 stalks of scallion cut to 2cm length
  • 2 stalks of coriander cut roughly
  • 4 pieces of cardamon
  • 3 pieces of dried chili
  • 3 teaspoon of light soy
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salty tauchu
  • 1/2 teaspoon of honey
  • 300mls of water (more if needed)
  • salt and pepper for taste

Method

  • Marinate the clean and dried fish in salt and pepper for few minutes
  • Put in clean oil to heated wok
  • Pan fried the fish till golden brown
  • Put the fish aside
  • Use small amount of oil from the pan fried, fried the ginger strip to golden crispy
  • Add in cardamon and dried chili with water and let it broil
  • Then add the light soy and honey, salt and pepper to taste
  • Put in the fish and continue to cook for 5 minutes
  • Add the scallion and coriander
  • Cook for 10 minutes

It is ready to be serve on plate of hot rice....yummy... I really like the sauce as it has a hint of hit and some sweetness of the honey and the fish as the end tone. Give it a try... you will love this sauce.
