Warm Snapper with Ginger Oil

 
 

Ingredients
  • Three 6-ounce snapper fillets, skinned
  • 3 tablespoons Ginger Oil (recipe follows)
  • Fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
  • 1 lime, halved

Ginger Oil:

  • 1/2 pound ginger, peeled and minced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Slice the snapper 1/4 inch thick on the bias. Brush each plate with ginger oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the snapper slices to form a square on each plate. Brush with the remaining ginger oil. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Just before serving, warm the snapper in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes; be careful not to overcook. Sprinkle the chives and squeeze the lime juice over each plate. Serve immediately.
