Seared Snapper With Snow Peas, Basil And Lemon

Step 1

Pat snapper completely dry. Heat a large heavy-based non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbs oil. Season snapper all over with salt. Place skin-side down in pan. Cook, pressing down on snapper for the first 2 mins of cooking, for 4 mins or until skin is crisp and golden brown. Turn snapper over. Cook for a further 2 mins. Divide among serving plates, skin-side up.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk lemon rind, 2 tbs lemon juice, shallots and remaining 3 tbs oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with snow peas, rocket, radishes, basil, mint and walnuts.

Step 3

Place snow pea salad alongside snapper. Using a fine rasp grater, grate some parmesan over the salad and serve with lemon wedges.
