Ingredients

4 boneless red snapper fillets with skin, about 6 ounces each (see note)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots or scallions
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander

Steps:

Place the red snapper fillets on a platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and brush each side with olive oil.
Heat oven broiler or grill to high.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the shallots, lemon juice, soy sauce and coriander. Bring to a simmer, transfer to a small blender or food processor and blend to a fine texture. Keep warm.
If the snapper is to be broiled in an oven, place the fillets skin side down on the broiler pan and place it about 4 inches from the heat. Leaving the door ajar, cook 3 to 4 minutes without turning the fish. Do not overcook. If the fish fillets are to be cooked on a hot grill, place them skin side up and cook about 2 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook skin side down for about 2 minutes more. Do not overcook. Pour the coriander butter over the fillets and serve immediately.
