The sauce makes this snapper: butter warmed with lemon, sweet soy, ginger and a minced red chile, finished with chives and diced tomato, spooned over fillets that come off the grill with crisp edges and juicy centers. Sweet, sharp and faintly hot all at once. Eight servings in half an hour — dinner-party fish with weeknight effort.

Ingredients

1	whole red snapper, cleaned and scaled (2 pound)
5	lemons, juiced, divided
¹⁄₄	cup sweet soy sauce
2	tablespoons butter
1	tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
3	tomatoes, chopped
1	bunch chives, chopped
¹⁄₂	red chile pepper, sliced
1	pinch white sugar, or to taste (Optional)
1	pinch salt to taste

Instructions

1.	Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2.	Prepare the red snapper by placing it on a large plate and squeezing the juice of 1 lemon onto each side and inside the cavity. Allow the snapper to marinate for about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, butter, and finely minced ginger. In another bowl, mix the remaining lemon juice, chopped tomatoes, chives, sliced red chile pepper, a pinch of white sugar (optional), and salt.
3.	Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot. Cook the marinated snapper until it just begins to brown, about 1 minute per side.
4.	Place the snapper on the preheated grill and brush each side with the soy mixture. Grill the snapper, basting occasionally with the soy mixture, until it flakes easily with a fork, approximately 4 to 6 minutes per side.
5.	Transfer the grilled red snapper to a serving platter and pour the tomato mixture over it before serving.
