Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Snapper

    Place the snapper fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure that the fillets are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Snapper

    Remove the snapper from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Place the fillets in the skillet with the sautéed onions. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Add the Marinade

    Once the snapper is cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the cooked snapper to a serving dish, spoon the sauce and onions over the top, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice.
