Roasted Caribbean Snapper with Coconut -Ginger “JamAsian” Sauce Recipe

Rainforest Seafoods snapper is one of my favourites. It's a light, meaty fish that is perfect for a quick and easy dinner any day of the week.

Along with being packed with protein, snapper is a rich source of omega-3, vitamin D, selenium and phosphorus, which are important for cardiovascular health, bone growth and development, and increased antioxidant activity in the body.

The Caribbean and Asian flavours in this recipe bring zest and spice without unwanted calories and saturated fat. This protein-packed recipe is full of flavour, with Caribbean jerk seasoning, coconut milk, garlic and ginger adding depth to a medley of vegetables that are spread atop baked snapper fillets.

Serve this on a bed of brown rice and seasonal leafy greens, and you have a simple, fast, healthy and super delish dish that is guaranteed to impress.

This recipe is simply sensational.
