Jerk Snapper - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb red snapper fillets or 1 lb any firm light-fleshed fish
    1 lemon, quartered
    olive oil, to taste
    soy sauce, to taste
    habanero sauce or red pepper sauce, to taste
    for the jerk rub
    1 tablespoon ground allspice
    1 tablespoon dried thyme
    2 teaspoons curry powder
    1 tablespoon mild paprika
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
    1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
    1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Preparation
    Mix together ingredients for the jerk rub and massage it generously into the fillets.
    Refrigerate fish for about 1 hour.
    Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
    Lightly oil a baking sheet large enough to hold the fish in a single layer.
    Place fillets on baking sheet and drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil.
    Bake at 400F for 6 minutes.
    Turn fillets and drizzle once more with a little olive oil.
    Continue baking for 4-6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork (time may vary depending on how thick your fish is).
    Just prior to serving, drizzle cooked fillets with lemon juice, a little soy sauce, and however much pepper sauce you prefer.
    Serve hot.
