Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coconut-Clam Stock
4 (5-ounce) red snapper fillets
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons fennel seeds, lightly crushed
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil or vegetable oil
1/4 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
2 teaspoons toasted unsweetened shredded coconut
Flaky sea salt
Olive oil (for drizzling)

Steps:

  • Heat stock in a medium pot over low; keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle fish on both sides with kosher salt. Top skin side with fennel seeds, patting lightly to adhere.
  • Heat coconut oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low. Working in 2 batches, cook fish, skin side down, until skin is crisp, 6-8 minutes. Turn and cook on other side 30 seconds.
  • Divide stock among shallow bowls. Add a fish fillet to each, placing skin side up, and top with cilantro, sprouts, coconut, and some sea salt. Drizzle with olive oil.
