Red Snapper With Sambal

Ingredients:

4 red snapper fillets
Kosher salt
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 tablespoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Olive oil (for drizzling)
Lime wedges (for serving)



Preparation:

1.Using a very sharp blade, draw a knife down the length of 1 snapper fillet to make parallel ¼" deep cuts spaced ½" apart from end to end. Cutting on a diagonal (or crosswise), make parallel cuts to create ½" diamonds or squares in a crosshatch pattern. Repeat with remaining snapper fillets.

2.Season both sides of snapper with salt. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Combine garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, chili paste, and brown sugar in a small bowl; spoon over snapper, making sure marinade penetrates score marks. 


3.Heat broiler. Drizzle snapper with oil and broil until charred in spots and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
