Best Red Snapper Whole Roasted With Thai Spices And Coconut Rice Recipes
THAI GREEN CURRY WITH RED SNAPPER, JUMBO PRAWNS AND COCONUT RICE
Everybody is always talking about yellow and red curry. I'm a green curry man, especially with fresh seafood. The aroma of the lemongrass, garlic and chilies just makes anything it touches sing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the coconut rice: Add the rice into a pot (one you have a matching lid for!). Spoon in the coconut oil and mix with the rice; this creates a nice fat barrier to ensure well-separated grains of rice. Add the well-shaken can of coconut milk, water, salt and sugar to the pot. Give it a good stir and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil and then immediately bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Bring it off the heat with the cover still on and let the rice rest for 15 minutes.
- For the curry: Place the unsweetened shredded coconut onto a small sheet tray. Place into the oven to toast for 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Melt the coconut oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the green curry paste and stir to combine. Toast it in the coconut oil for 5 minutes, until fragrant to bloom the spices, whisking frequently. Add the coconut milk, brown sugar and fish sauce and stir to combine. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Add the snap peas, bell pepper and kale and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the prawns with salt, then add into the curry to poach in the liquid. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Season the curry with salt if necessary.
- Sprinkle the snapper on both sides with salt and pepper and score the skin. Heat a large nonstick sauté pan with the vegetable oil over high heat. Place the fish into the pan skin-side down to sear. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook for 4 minutes, until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Plate a scoop of coconut rice, followed by sauce, prawns and fish, skin-side up. Garnish with the fresh mint, Thai basil, toasted coconut and lime wedges.
