Crispy Red Snapper With Chili Lime Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 tablespoons fresh Lime Juice
    1/2 cup water
    2 tablespoons Sweet Chili Sauce (Asian Market)
    2 tablespoons sugar
    2 tablespoons fish sauce (Nam Pla)
    1 teaspoon ground fresh chili paste (Sambal- Oleleck, my personal favorite from Asian Market)
    4 Red Snapper Fillets
    Vegetable Oil
    1 bunch of Scallions Shredded
Preparation
    Warm dinner plates in oven
    Combine the first 6 ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes and lower heat to only a slight simmer for 15 minutes. Set Aside.

    Prepare 2 cast iron shallow grill pans with oil with 1 tbs oil in each pan. Heat pans on medium heat for 1 minute (these pans need to be Hot!!)
    Slip fillets into pan flesh side down. Cook for 2-3
    minutes. Using a fish spatula flip and repeat with skin side down. Add a bit more oil if starting to stick.

    Plate fish (on Coconut Jasmine Rice) and spoon Chili-Lime Sauce on top. Garnish with Scallions.
