BAKED SNAPPER WITH CHILIES, GINGER AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
• Stuff the cavity of the snapper with 1/2 cup basil leaves and set aside. Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Place the snapper in the skillet, and quickly brown on both sides, about 1 minute total. Place the fish into the roasting pan, and sprinkle with fish sauce. Reserve the peanut oil in the skillet.
• Bake fish in preheated oven until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining peanut oil over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, ginger, chile peppers, and yellow pepper and cook until the peppers have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, rice vinegar, water, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until thickened to desired consistency. Pour the sauce over the snapper, and garnish with the remaining basil leaves to serve.

• Fill a wok or large pot with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil. Line bottom basket of a 10-inch, 2-tiered round bamboo steamer with parchment paper. (Alternatively, use two pots fitted with steamer inserts.) Season fish using remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer in bottom basket. Cover, and set over boiling water. Steam until fish is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes. Put spinach into top basket, and set over bottom basket. Steam until spinach is bright green and just wilted, about 2 minutes more.

CRISPY SNAPPER TACOS WITH AVOCADO AND TROPICAL-FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Heat 6 cups oil in a deep large saucepan over moderately high heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F, then fry taco shells, 2 at a time, turning occasionally, until a shade darker, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt.
• Whisk together lime juice, 3 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste for dressing.
• Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté scallions, stirring, 1 minute. Add fish and sauté, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and gently toss fish with chipotles.
• Toss arugula with dressing and salt and pepper to taste.
• Fill taco shells with arugula, fish mixture, and salsa.

BAKED SNAPPER WITH CITRUS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make three slashes across each side of the fish using a sharp knife. This will keep the fish from curling as it cooks. Place the fish in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan. Cover each side with fresh ginger, then green onions and tomatoes. Season with sea salt. Slice half of the lime and place the slices on top of the fish. Drizzle with the soy sauce, and squeeze the other half of the lime over the fish. Cut the lemon in half and set in the pan. Cover the whole dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake the fish until the flesh is opaque and can be flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the baked lemon halves over the fish before serving. Serve the fillet on the top side first, then gently lift out the backbone, while helping the flesh off the bones with your knife. It's much easier than trying to turn the fish over.

TROPICAL FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Gently toss together all ingredients with salt and pepper to taste.
