Directions
-
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
-
Pat the red snapper fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
-
Brush the fillets lightly with olive oil to promote browning and prevent drying out.
-
Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them to ensure crispy skin.
-
Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
-
While the fish cooks, prepare the cashew rice according to package instructions or sauté toasted cashews with cooked rice and a splash of lime juice.
-
Assemble the chutney by combining diced tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and papaya with a hint of chili and cilantro.
-
Serve the grilled snapper immediately over a bed of cashew rice and top with a generous spoonful of the tropical fruit chutney.
