1 1/2 tablespoons tamarind from a pliable block
1/2 cup cold water

  • Season the fish well: Don't be afraid to season the fish generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Broil the fish until it is cooked through: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish. Broil the fish until it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make the cilantro sauce while the fish is cooking: This will allow the flavors in the sauce to meld together.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Broiled snapper is best served hot, with the cilantro sauce drizzled over the top.

Conclusion:

Broiled snapper with cilantro sauce is a light, flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the cilantro sauce is a delicious complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
