Ingredients for Red Snapper With Coconut-Clam Broth

  • Coconut-Clam Stock

  • 4 (140g) red snapper fillets

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, lightly crushed

  • 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil or vegetable oil

  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves with tender stems

  • 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts

  • 2 teaspoons toasted unsweetened shredded coconut

How to make Red Snapper With Coconut-Clam Broth

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 coriander, sprouts, coconut, and some sea salt. Drizzle with olive oil.
