Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chili Pil Pil

    In a small saucepan, heat chili oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Red Snapper

    Season the red snapper fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

  3. 3

    Make the Heirloom Tomato Salad

    In a mixing bowl, combine diced heirloom tomatoes, chopped shiso leaves, cilantro, and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Place the cooked red snapper on plates, spoon the chili pil pil over the top, and serve with the heirloom tomato salad on the side.
