Serves 4

Grilled Red Snapper with Green Beans and Lime Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp. plus ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided; plus more for grill
• 1 small shallot, thinly sliced into rings
• 4 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, divided
• ½ tsp. plus 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
• 4 skin-on red snapper fillets (about five oz. each)
• 8 oz. green beans, trimmed
• 5 tsp. fish sauce
• 2 Tbsp. crushed salted, dry-roasted peanuts

Grilled Red Snapper with Green Beans and Lime Directions

1. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate. Mix shallot, 1 Tbsp. lime juice, and ½ tsp. brown sugar in a small bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Pat fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Toss green beans with 1 Tbsp. of oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.
3. Grill beans, turning often (be careful not to let them fall through the grate), until softened and charred in spots, about 2 minutes. (Place a wire rack crosswise on the grill to keep the green beans from falling through the grate to create smaller squares and extra insurance.) Transfer to a platter.
4. Pat fish dry again and rub fillets with 2 Tbsp. of oil. Gently place on grate, skin side down, and grill, undisturbed, until flesh is opaque except for the thickest part, 6–8 minutes. Carefully slide a thin metal spatula underneath the fillet, trying not to tear the skin, and turn over; grill 1 minute longer. Place, skin side up, on a platter with green beans.
5. Whisk fish sauce, remaining ¼ cup oil, remaining 3 Tbsp. of lime juice, and remaining 1 Tbsp. of brown sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Drizzle over fish and beans and scatter shallot mixture over. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours. Cover and chill if holding longer than 30 minutes. Bring to room temperature before serving.
6. Top with peanuts just before serving.
