                                                                               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!.
