Ingredients
- 1-1/4 pounds red snapper fillets
- 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
- 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced DOLE® Green Onions
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green chili pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon Moroccan seasoning*
- 1/2 cup chopped tomato
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 pkg. DOLE® Chopped Sesame Asian Kit
- 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- Grilled DOLE® Rapini (recipe below)
- 2 tablespoons peanuts
Directions
- Sprinkle the fleshy side of the snapper with lime peel and half the cilantro; set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium high. In a nonstick pan, heat half the olive oil and sauté green onions, green chili pepper, ginger, garlic and Moroccan seasoning. Stir in tomato, orange juice, water, and tomato paste; simmer on low for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to serve.
- Brush grill with remaining oil. Season snapper with salt and pepper, then grill, skin-side down for approximately 3 minutes, flip it over and grill for another 3 minutes, depending on thickness.
- Toss Chopped Sesame Asian Salad Kit with shredded coconut, wontons, and sliced almonds. Divide salad between four serving plates. Arrange the rapini and snapper on each plate. Top with a spoonful of the Moroccan tomato mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and peanuts before serving.
Grilled Rapini: Cook 1 pound rapini in salted boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste. Set aside until ready to grill. Preheat the grill to medium. Grill the rapini for two minutes, until heated through and charred slightly.
Moroccan-Seasoning: Simply a combination of spices you probably already have in your cupboard. Combine 1 teaspoon salt with 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon ground clove.
