This vibrant red snapper with green sauce and spring onions is a wonderful example of how high-quality ingredients can create a sophisticated meal with very little effort. By using a vegetable-only green juice as a ready-made poaching liquid, you infuse the delicate white fish with a clean, herbaceous flavour while keeping the dish light and refreshing. It is a fantastic option for a quick summer dinner when you want something nourishing that looks beautiful on the plate.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on healthy fats from olive oil and lean protein from the snapper. The charring of the spring onions adds a lovely smoky depth that perfectly complements the crisp skin of the fish. Serve this in shallow bowls to make the most of the savoury green broth, perhaps alongside some steamed seasonal greens or cauliflower rice for a complete, low-carbohydrate meal.
