Preparation
- Assemble all ingredients and equipment.
- Peel and slice yellow onions (350 g) and carrots (180 g). Add the vegetables to a medium mixing bowl.
- Bring 3 tbsp olive oil (45 mL) to medium heat in a large fry pan.
- Pat dry 2 lbs of fresh snapper with paper towel, season the fish generously with 3 tsp Kosher salt (12 g) and 3 tsp freshly ground black pepper (12 g). Set aside.
- Season the oil with 2 tsp paprika (8 g), 1 tbsp Jamaican pimento (15 g), 1 tbsp dried thyme leaves (15 g), and 1 tsp ground cloves (4 g). Gently lay the snapper into the hot oil away from you and saute for 8 min.
- Flip the snapper with the fish spatula and cover it with sliced carrots and onions. Simmer for 20 min.
- To finish, add 1 tbsp white vinegar to the sauce and simmer for 7 min. The snapper should be nestled amongst soft onions and carrots in a natural fish gravy.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy heartily!
