Grilled Thai Snapper Packets

By Derrick Riches, About.com

This is a quick, delicious, and no mess way to prepare an Asian style snapper dish.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 red snapper fillets (5-6 ounces each)
  • 1 carrot, julienne
  • 1 green onion, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 4 large aluminum foil sheets

Preparation:

Preheat grill for medium heat. Combine fish sauce, lime juice, oil, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small mixing bowl. Place each fillet skin side down on foil sheet. Top with Thai seasoning mixture, carrots, cilantro, and green onion. Seal packets, but not too tightly to be sure steam is allowed out during cooking. Place fish packets on grill and cook for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, cut foil with kitchen shears, and serve.
