Red snapper with Coconut Curry Sauce

                                                                               Receta en español

Fish is a staple food in Kiribati. I wanted to make a recipe of a  kind of oceanic fish  easy to find in Madrid.
After my research I found that red snapper could be found in Kiribati as well as in Spain, so I decided to cook this fish.
It is a delicious fish that goes well with Coconut Curry Sauce, one of the most common sauce in the islands.
They serve it accompanied by Coconut Rice. Coconut rice Pacific way.

Ingredients:

•   1 red snapper.
•   3 lemon slices.
•   380 - 400 ml coconut milk.
•   1 dessert spoon of curry powder.
•   Salt.

Method:

1-   Make three cuts at the back of the fish. Sprinkle a litle salt over the two sides of the fish.
Pour a litle oil in an oven proof dish and place the snapper on it.
Place a lemon slide into each cut at the back of the fish.

2-   Preheat oven at 175 ºC , cook the fish during 45 minutes.

3-   Now is time to prepare Coconut curry Sauce.
Put the coconut milk in a saucepan with a little salt and curry powder, put at medium heat and stirr well. Once the mix is hot you have the sauce ready. It is easy!.

4-   Serve the snapper with a Little Coconut curry sauce on top, accompanied by Coconut rice.

My comments to the recipe

It is easy and fast to cook, it surprises me the good taste of the fish deeped in coconut curry sauce, besides, coconut rice gives an extra delicious and soft taste to the dish.
